In a thorny situation
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 5 December 2008 in Miscellaneous.
I know people often think of Bahbahra as a cute little sheep, but she does get herself in thorny situations at times as this shot shows
I would like to make it clear no sheep were injured in anyway in the process of capturing this shot
Thanks for all your comments on this series this week, I enjoyed taking them and am glad you seem to be enjoying them
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Thanks for the chuckles this week. I must say the rose bush looks in absolutely brilliant condition (mind you, Bahbahra's in pretty good shape herself) - unlike mine *sigh*!

Hmm. Looks like a pic straight out of a child's storybook. Enjoyable series indeed!

@Zeeman: I Have toyed with writing a book for children using Bahbahra shots, but writing is not my forte

Oh no! Poor thing! I hate to see her in such peril! But I know how troublesome little stuffed sheep can be...always getting into mischief of some sort or another. :-)

Colors are beautiful and the framing excellent ... Oupsss, Bahbahra was forgotten. Let us hope that you knew how to put your camera to take out her of this dramatic and dangerous situation ;)
