As we all know, Flickr has its funny little ways. There doesn't seem to be anything to be done about this: you ignore it you find a workaround, or you go elsewhere. I'm not enthusiastic about its new trick of adding tags to my pictures, but mostly I pretend not to notice.

I have just uploaded the last batch of photos from Skye (so there may be another holiday post quite soon) and this was one of them:

Sheep


I tagged it with the location 'hebrides, skye' and then on second thoughts went back to add 'sheep', because I might want to find all my pictures of sheep, sometime. Flickr had got in ahead of me, and added the tag 'sheep'. Also 'outdoor' 'animal' and 'carnivore'.

Do they know something I don't?

I'm sure there is a Tanith Lee novel featuring bone white, carnivorous sheep, but I cannot now remember which one.

There are carnivorous sheep in Diana Wynne Jones's Dark Lord of Derkholm, but they're not as scary as the ones you're thinking of sound!

They might have been venomous rather than carnivorous...

I never read a word of Tanith Lee (though I recall having read about her because [livejournal.com profile] dfordoom admires her innovative writing) nor of Diana Wynne Jones (that everyone but me has read) so clearly a case of intranät synergy or even just the Common Carnivorous Sheep of the Skies being more plentiful than we had suspected plus disguised as plain blondes (to get at their blood) but as we now happen to know, (bit as with the position of the Lurch in Monty Python's Flying Circus) distinguishable by way of the colour green; in spots (as seen above) or in total, as seen in the Dordogne (unhorned to seem meeker).
