At last the sheepdog trials have returned to Vashon Island. I spent the day before my birthday lolling ion a hillside watching border collies herd sheep from one end of a field to the other. I love it. People show up with dogs and kids and picnic lunches and we all clap loudly when a dog manages to move the sheep through one set of gates or another.
Fortunately I remembered my camera. Unfortunately it didn’t work. Leah took these photos on her cellphone. The dog was watching the action intently. To see a dog and sheep in the other photo, you’ll need a microscope. Oh well.
