Flashy Fowl

FFF Photo a Day - Day 297

Caesar, our resident rooster is doing well out in the back of the property with his select group of hens. 

He particularly likes to pose for pics and actually preens himself when he sees me coming... #flashyfowl #pompouspoultry

A light in the dark!

FFF Photo a Day - Day 154

Our regular followers know that our chicks share our greenhouse (underneath the plants). 

This creates a unique and interesting sight at night as the whole greenhouse glows red with the light of the heat lamps that keep the chicks warm. 

Thanks to Noel who snapped this great picture tonight!

These pigs are shy!

FFF Photo a Day - Day 118

I've been trying to get some pictures of the piglets for days but every time I got remotely close to them they would take off! 

This is the best I could do today and that was only cause we bribed them with some whey. 

They are Berkshire pigs that live in a large treed area. They are new to our farm so hopefully they will warm up to us (and the camera) in the near future! 

Tricks of Light

FFF Photo a Day - Day 108 

We all know that light can make or break a picture. It is why I often head out either early morning or late evening when the sun casts some interesting shadows! 

Tonight on my walkabout I snapped a quick photo of Avery our farm dog and thought the result was a bit otherworldly! 

Through the accident of overexposure and light, she looks like she's surrounded by white light instead of just lying on the road!      

The aliens have landed!

FFF Photo a Day - Day 100

The other night I snapped this photo from inside the house. The result is a bit unnerving! Looks a bit like aliens are landing! 

Cows are like cats...

Day 16 - FFF Photo a Day

You cat people out there, know that whenever you try to do some paperwork, the cat will undoubtedly be around within minutes to lie directly upon it. 

Cows.... or at least Grace (our cow), is like that when you take a camera out. She immediately has to come and stick her nose right in front, fogging up the lens with her breath, often trying to lick it. 

The other day I was scrolling through pictures from the farm and noticed just how many pictures I have that look like this....
