The Shepherd

Spring just seems like the right time for sheep photos, old or new!
Though it might feel like a photo you would expect to see in the back of your Bible, this picture was taken when we lived in Morocco, (not quite that long ago! )...
( the back of my little, blond, American head might be a give-away)
The young shepherd was evidently willing to let me pet one of his sheep on a day when we were out exploring the countryside. I don't remember this incident, but I'm sure I was thrilled.

Shepherds like this are probably still a common sight in many parts of the Middle East.
My Dad has been tirelessly scanning and cleaning up our old slides from those days, and e-mailed this one to amuse me, and perhaps share here. Thanks Dad!
