maremma


Melba Highway near Yarra Glen


The Maremma's flock


A look-a-like Maremma but not the Maremma.

I drove out to Yarra Glen to empty the book bin today and because we are not back on the road again until Monday I was in the car.  In a normal week I drive down the Melba Highway at least twice and I always look for the Maremma.  I only see him occasionally but I am never able to stop and take a photo.  I am intrigued by him.  ( I shall call it him as I imagine him to be a boy) 
Most of the times when I have seen him he is relaxing gracefully by his flock.  Today however I was able to stop but though he may have been in the paddock he was no where to be seen.   His charges however were peacefully grazing.
