Portraits at the Fair

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...

Hello horse!
what an adorable little showman!
lovely dove
willa, my siamese cat, totally looks like this sable point rabbit!
very hungry and insistent goats...
this goose had AMAZING blue eyes...
this odd creature is called a 'guinea'...
so much personality for such a little hen...
mom and dad :)
this little hen was very insistent: she WANTED TREATS and she WANTED THEM NOW.
Baa.
these quail eggs were no bigger than a nickel!
very interesting comb, Monsieur Rooster.
this is a miniature sheep. pulling a cart. following its owner's voice.
i think my head just exploded from the cuteness of it all.
so many people!
huge squash-type-things... i think we may have these in my mom's garden...
spinning some yarn.
hello, bagpipe dudes.
dirty sheep... adorable sheep... photogenic sheep.
love this picture! a warty pumpkin poses.
this yarn is from the spinners shown in the photo 4 above this one.

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!

  3. Love 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!

  5. 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...

  7. Awesome photos!
    I 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!

  10. Aww, 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.

  13. 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?
