I have no idea how this sheep got itself into this mess, the rest of the flock seemed to have a full fleece, but it amused me when I saw it, the remains of the fleece looking just like a lion’s mane.
(Not quite sharp, a bit of camera shake/subject movement – 1/6sec exposure, as I was shooting at f16 – I was doing some landscape photographs at the time and this was a quick snap.)

She could be just naturally shedding her fleece. It is approaching time to shear sheep. You may be interested to know that in New Zealand (I think) they have developed a breed that doesn’t need to be sheared. It seems they are starting to breed them here too http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/agriculture/farming/7567054/Self-shearing-sheep-bred-by-British-farmers-for-first-time.html
Thanks for the link – news to me.
Somehow it seems a little sad.
Well spotted Stephen.. and I agree it does seem a bit sad somehow doesn’t it..
How funny! Isn’t it lovely to be so cool and different 🙂
