Great shot Jen!!

Now this is a backbreaking work if there ever was one. I see they are still using the old hand shearing scissors. You have captured the sotry really well here Jen, well done!

Cheers,
Stef

It seems they had fun, but not about the job itself, which was very tough, but us people watching was making them laugh, looking scared at these tools for shaving, happy i'm not a man anyway...lolll
Sweet dreams dear girl,
big hugs, Jen

Thanks so much dear Gary, you are right I did mix easely, bit scary for me too, looking at this way of 'shaving' :)) Never saw them doing this with just a garden cutter, quite exciting to watch...
Its good you shave every day, happy its not your skin, these sheep were very cold afterwards:)))
Sweet dreams,
hugs Jen

Thank you for making me so happy with your great comment my dear:)
I am hoping to just show a piece of the other world, the one I just can stay and look as a tourist, trying to bring their way of living in our world, would have loved to be a journalist,
but for that you need a lot of braveness, which I havent enough I guess.....;)
Sleep well!
Big hugs, Jenxx

It was a great expectation for me at least, to see how they worked on these sheep in a simple and human way, so much wool came off, so very needed up there in the cold, I am delighted you like it my dear:)
Wishing you a sweet night and waking up happy and healthy:)!!
Hugs Jenxx

Good documentary shot, I like the slight graininess and, because none of them are looking at the camera, it looks as if you've mixed easily with them. By the way, I shave every day, but sheep get sheared once a year!
Regards, Gary

Isnt amazing how sheep can give us lots of needs,
like milk, butter and warmth..still can smell the
wool, its so great they have this for their living
as it was very cold up there in the mountains!
Be well my dear, hugs Jen

Thanks a lot dear Dave, as you can see here, this
is what all comes off, hoping they will survive the winter, using this all for their clothes and
blankets, freezing cold up there!
Be well, xxJen

I think more that they liked showing how they did this
and people looked scary as they used garden cutters as a
raser
It worked well, but still the poor sheep didnt really like
it, neither did I...tough work!
Be well, hugs Jen
