Can you spot what's hidden in a snowy Saskatchewan field?

Sunday, November 8, 2015, 8:45 PM - On November 4, Canadian farmer Liezel Kennedy woke up to quite a shock on her Saskatchewan farm -- her entire flock of sheep seemed to have disappeared overnight.

Kennedy drove by the field that had been filled with close to 500 sheep the night before, and saw not a one on her property in the rural community of Shamrock.

With no sheep in sight, she snapped the above photo of the barren area, which was blanketed in a fresh dusting of snow.

However, upon closer inspection, Kennedy's flock can be seen completely camouflaged among the grass and snow.

"Could hardly find my sheep this morning!" she tweeted on Twitter later that day.

But losing track of her white wooly flock isn't just a problem Kennedy faces during periods of snow. The summer season can lead to the same disappearing, reappearing act.

Kennedy also shared the photos below on Twitter of how easy it is to overlook a few hundred sheep when they blend in perfectly with long, tall grasses during the warmer months.
