Probably you would not suspect that those sheep are just grazing in the outskirts of Christchurch. The view is from the Little River Rail Trail to the Southern Alps.


The beautiful scenery of Castle Hill, dotted with sheep, between Waipara and Arthurs Pass.



Sheep auction in Little River, on Banks Peninsula.



Lambs often congregate in playgroups. These were near Lake Forsyth on Banks Peninsula. And the flock was even bigger, I just did not get them all on one picture...



When the lamb kindergartens play their games, they sometimes do funny things...



Some are extremely photographer-friendly.



Mister or Miss Blackear and -nose and -socks as well...



Some are too small to play and prefer to rest close to mum.
