Farming Friends

I was delighted to find an email from my blogpal nikkipolani with an entry for the farmingfriends ‘foto’ of the month competition.

“I took this photo while my mom, cousin, and mom’s friend took us on a walk around Lake Trévoix in Breuillet, France (a suburb of Paris).  There’s a lovely path all around the lake.  As we were leaving, we noticed a small enclosed yard where these two llamas were lounging.  There was also a busy ostrich who paid us no attention.  The light colored llama, however, followed us with his eyes.”

If you would like to enter the photograph of the month competition then the photographs need to have a farming theme and can include the farming landscape, farm animals, farm machinery, farming life or nature and wildlife on and around a farm. Send your photographs by email (request email address via the contact form if you don’t know email address and I will send it to you) keeping the photograph attachment to a size of about 600 x 400 pixels.

Please supply some details about the photograph - the name of the person who took the photograph, when and where it was taken and what is happening in the photograph. The winning ‘Foto’ will be posted at the beginning of the following month, so you have up to the end of the month to enter.

Marian has sent a picture of a Peacock which she has entitled “Sheer Beauty” for the Farming Friends Foto of the Month Competition, so thanks Marian.

Marian said in her email, “It is the males that are famous for their strikingly beautiful tail coverts. The long feathers are usually green and gold. Markings of blue colour resembling eyes, giving them a special beauty all of there own. The problem is, getting them to display when you have the camera ready!  Fortunately, this was very happy to pose for me.”

Wow - what a fantastic photograph - if you think that you have a photograph that can rival Marian’s then send me your photograph entry.

Marian saw these Lambs in early January. Marian said,  “I don’t know when they were born,  but they look to be growing up very fast, just look at the size of them!.  I don’t know what was in the bucket but they looked as if they were about to investigate when Mum arrived and lead them away.”
