Sheep may safely graze
Viennese Escapes


Plum Orchard
I was looking out one of the windows of
the Schloss Hof Palace, when I spotted a sheep
grazing under the plum trees

  8. I see the sheep prefers the shadows :-)

    We´ve had a cold summer and everything is very late here. I have just been out in the garden photographing the first red cheeries.

  14. Oy. I've been sharing a lot of lamb recipes. So it's sweet to see the sheep grazing peacefully under the plum trees.
