Deer...Oh Dear

The last photo posting ended with City bulldog crying out...." Bessie Dear...where are you ?"

Nose to nose...eyes to eyes....Who has arrived?

City babbles..." Deer...Oh Dear who have we here ?"

Move That Sled

Tidy pig is sitting in the cola sled looking so distinctive in the red coat gleaming on a winter's afternoon.
The pig wiggles his rump and leans back in the sled feeling cozy and relaxed. Tidy pig was about to call out to City bulldog with thoughts of him pulling the sled. The pig is startled by loud barking and hot breath behind him.
City is barking ...in what has been said to be.... constant obnoxious babbling...." Tidy pig get out of there and move that sled ! "

Eye on the Camera

view on black

The photographers stood outside the pasture taking photos of this beautiful draft horse mare named Queen.
It's been a tradition the past few years to visit the horses at the farm during all the seasons .
The snowfall had settled with just a few flakes in the breeze but the cold of January made for a challenging photo shoot. The car heaters were on so between checking on the farm and taking photos one could go warm up before going back outside.
Last spring Queen gave birth to a colt named Thor and it's possible she might be in foal again but time will tell.

Her eye is on the camera as I take this photo. The lighting is perfect to capture reflections in her eye.
I'd say her eye might be reflecting the coming of spring and her new foal?
Queen has never showed much with her previous foals so it's wishful thinking on my part and would love to see her give birth to a filly. Fanny Mae was her only daughter and was born two years before Freddy Mac who is the half brother to Thor (colt born last May).

Wake Up Tootsie

(view on black)

Freddy Mac lowers his head and nickers..." Wake up Tootsie....we have company !"
Tootsie looks at Freddy Mac and nickers back..." I know your tricks Mr. Fred Mac....and I'm not about to get up and leave the comfort of my bed of hay."

The total accumulation of yesterday and last nights snowfall was just over five inches.
The major highways are very icy and winds are causing drifting which is making travel in our area tricky. The gravel road to the farm was hard and bumpy but traveled enough so there was no problem going out to check on the draft horses .

Heffala was not aware that I took along one of her red hollee roller balls for Freddy Mac but when she comes to the computer room tonight she will smell something very horsey with that ball.
