Farm Show!

For the first time I went to the PA Farm Show all by myself. It's the largest show of it's kind under one roof in the US. I've always wanted to go and really study the animals but it's so crowded I became frustrated and only stayed a few hours. I did manage to get some nice shots. 

You can see all my favorite shots on Flickr.

Fancy chickens drink Coca Cola. 

Today was carriage racing. I saw many of these teams compete at Devon last year. 

It's such an exciting event.

Boy do those horses and ponies fly!

Black Baldies

When you cross an Angus cow (below) with a Hereford bull (third photo) you get a beautiful cross that is known as a black baldy (above photo). I think I have to paint one someday soon!

These calves have a little of their daddy's red coloring.

All these photos were taken on my stepfather's brother and sister in law's farm.

They also have chickens. I REALLY want chickens.

These look like Buff Orpingtons.

Mucho sunflowers and basil back at my mother's garden.
