Jacob Sheep

Marcia had a little lamb (see post below) and now she's got another.

Following a day of whale watching, where not one whale was spotted, my friend Marcia and I stopped in Port Townsend to pick up a new Jacob lamb at the Green Water Farm to keep her little "Lucy" company.

Jacob Sheep are an ancient breed of sheep. Originally from the British Isles they aren't very common in the US, actually closer to rare.

This handsome guy was one of the willing models I photographed while Marcia and I toured around Green Water Farm learning more about the sheep.
