Sheep.
Today the chestnut tree on the slope opposite my window is being particularly charming as not only is it covered in white 'candles' but it has a 'sheep shadow'. It is the biggest tree in the field and when it's hot the entire flock pack in under the branches and then lie massed in the exact shape of the tree's shade. It has a surreal quality that I can never capture properly with a photograph, as when I get close the sheep start moving off nervously.
