Chocolate sheep, my favorite. :)
GREAT shot and even better quote! Might have to borrow it for the good quote section of my blog. So very apropos for the U.S. today and unfortunately there are too many will to gobble up the land and not enough who are willing to work the land, because you know, it's like work...
Love Steinbeck. One of my absolute favorites :)
Great quotation...goes to show things have been lopsided for a long time..maybe forever...
I'm ready to join in the yelling...
I just think Joseph is the MOST handsome sheep. No offense to Sal who is a sweetie.
What a handsome fellow!

quotes such as that make one appreciate the public lands available to all of us. can you imagine if the grand canyon or yellowstone were privately owned with "no trespassing" signs?
Timely quote Jenna, all these years and we are not much further along towards fixing it.
A wonderful quote from a wonderful book, and a fine looking sheep!
What an all knowing look.
Awesome picture, Tim! I like this one best so far!

There must be thousands, or hundreds of thousands of quotes along a similar vein as this; and hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people who agree with the sentiment - why is that not a single person in Washington D.C. gives a damn to do anything about it?
I've heard Nero watched as Rome burned, I suppose those in Washington will do the same as the world starves.
Wow, absolutely timeless, isn't it?
I really love your blog! Seeing chocolate sheep make me happy inside. Thanks!
@ CJ, the Washington folk will not only watch it burn, but they'll probably poor gasoline on it. It gives them a reason to point their fingers at each other and continue the blame game.
