Chas watches a good throw
Dietlind from Glenfalloch phoned early yesterday to let me know they were shearing in case I wanted to head up and take some photos. Of course I did. It is one of my favourite areas and one of my personal projects is to keep building up images around shearing and woolsheds. This was special with merinos being shorn; the super fine wool is beautiful to handle and great care is taken with the preparation and classing. Apart from recording the process I really enjoy meeting the wonderful individuals involved, they are my kind of people.
Now I just need to sift through the dozens of great images and add the best to my woolsheds portfolio.
