My family and I went to a local fair yesterday. It's all about sustainable living — eating local, alternate transportation, organic stuff, etcetera.
Naturally, I brought my camera.
I decided to take portrait shots of every animal I saw in the showrooms... plus some inanimate objects as well.
Look out, lots of pictures to come...

 |
| Baa. |
 |

 |

I had a lovely time! My mom and I were asked to do a presentation on raising backyard chickens, and I felt very knowledgeable answering everyone's questions. :) {We do that every year. We're even on the schedule of events.}
Love to all!
Oh, lovely photos, Olive Tree! That goat pulling the cart is just too stinkin' cute;) Looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures, as usual. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! The comment you made about how you cat looks like that rabbit made me crack up; I do, however, have to admit I see a resemblance!
ReplyDeleteThose are great pics, Olive Tree! Ya know, I really wish I could take pictures like you. You always have such spectacular photos. :) By the way, how do you do the watermark thingy?

Sounds like your Sunday was MUCH more enjoyable than mine (which ended up with a trip to the ER and a splint on my left leg). Beautiful pictures! I love the first horse photo, it offers a VERY different perpective...
ReplyDeleteBagpipes rock! I love the pictures of the chickens. =)
ReplyDeleteThat goose'e eye is amazing! Great pics :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog when I was searching through Tumblr, a microblogging site and someone had a link posted to your site. You're an incredible photographer! Hope you don't think I'm creepy, lol.
Bye!
Awesome pictures!
ReplyDelete(The first one made me laugh so hard I snorted water up my nose)
omg that miniature sheep is sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteAww, what great pictures! I especially like the one of the rooster--he looks like he is wearing a white piece of mozzerella cheese as an earring. So cute.
ReplyDeleteIn Christ,

Hi Olive Tree! This moring I went to type Robin Blogs in the adress bar, but I accidently typed the wrong adress (the one to the old Robin Blogs) and it let me visit that! It also let me visit the old HorseFeathers. Did you restore them? And How?
ReplyDeleteWere you just there on sunday? I was there Friday, and walking past the poultry barn I said to my sis "I bet there are some people from BYC in there!" Haha. If I waited 2 days. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat goose eye is soooo incredibly awesome! And that first sheep picture! And I just love them all! Great pictures! Glad you had fun. :)
