Countdown

Ten sheep, and ten cattle egrets, in Hawaii

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘A Numbers Game.’ See more responses here. I put all my fingers and thumbs to work for my response, starting with ten Sheep in formation (and ten Cattle Egrets, too, as a bonus).

Next we have nine Spinner Dolphins playing, eight Wild Pigs foraging, seven Cattle Egrets heading to work.

Then there’s six Dung Beetles at work, five Black Triggerfish feeling blue, four Japanese White-eyes bathing.

And finally, three Horses watching, two Hawaiian Monk Seals resting, and one Pueo anticipating zero and lifting off.

    Oh my goodness, Graham, this is so cool!! I love how you wove these into a favorite Christmas carol with all the numbers of critters featured. A numbers game indeed! But capturing 10 sheep and cattle egrets into one shot is pretty amazing!

      Glad you liked it, Terri. Once I had the idea, I had fun going through my photos findings ones that fit. I picked the sheep photo and it was only later that I realized there were the same number of egrets!
