Shifty Sheep

The weather turned Highland today - damp and drizzly.  
 
We all rose late, and stiff from last night's frolics. But somehow we managed to get out for a gentle stroll up Glen Lichd.  

It wasn't a day for distant views - mist swirling down off the tops and white waterfalls too far away for pictures.

But there were plenty of sheep by the side of the track, obviously used to humans on foot or mountain bike. 

As we got higher, we noticed a few like this one who'd managed to avoid the shearers this year and were sporting a very shaggy look.  It makes for good camouflage among the rushes. Maybe that's how they avoid being rounded up. This one has a look that says to me 'I'm not here, really'.
