Old Jacob at twilight (the sheep)

This old sheep of mine is always good for a few fun pics. You know he is well over 20 years old! How long do sheep live?
It had been raining tonight and the sun peeked out just before it set. I woke him up--he was giving me a big stretch.
Oh...this is with the 85mm 1.8

Well according to a quick internet search they say 6-15 years so this fellow is well past that must be living life good, nice shot here and a lot of personality in the face on this old one here.

Bonnie, that's a very nice capture. I hope is with you for a good long time to come.

Thanks guys,
I do have a soft spot for him. He is left after all the others are long gone.
He still enjoys life and seems real healthy. He enjoys browsing for the peaches that fall off the tree in his pasture.
No one that knows how long I have had this sheep can believe he is still around. He is quite distinctive--so people remember him.
He has trained a lot of dogs to herd----they are gone now too. Jacob survives.

I love the look and pose. Great job, it seems as if he is about to challenage all of us.

Ewe'r doing something right! He looks great for over 20. Is he a ram or a wether?

Nice shot and great clarity. Over 20 is kinda amazing, just enjoying life I guess.

Very nice capture Bonnie.

What a magnificent animal! Great shot. He looks so wise.

Bonnie -- what a magnificent shot. You've really captured his character. What a boy.
