Scavenger Hunt Giveaway

I’ve decided to have a giveaway for an 8×10 photo print.  The prints that you can choose from are below, featured in my very loose interpretations of Ashley’s Scavenger Hunt Sunday items.

Window:  I had just a small window in the grass to take this shot of the thrasher on her nest.

Square:  There are many squares in the woven wire fence.

Picture in picture:  Dare I say there’s a rose in the picture of the sheet music?

Curve:  The forks have curved tines.

Pattern:  I love the pattern in the coyote’s fur.

Llama:  I love the sky in this shot.

Norma Jean:  Nothing like a cow in silhouette.

Yes, I know I have a couple of extra shots, but these are the seven prints to choose from. If you want to enter to win, just leave a comment and tell me which one you would like.  You can earn extra entries by liking my Eden Hills Photography facebook page.  Just like it and come tell me you did.  You can also earn an entry by liking my market.  Again, just come back and let me know you did.  Make sure that I have a way to contact you (if you leave an e-mail with your comment, I can see it, but it is not published).

I will do a random drawing on September 30th and announce the winner on October 1.

Happy Goats

Once I got the cows on the Back Forty, I set about moving the goats around.  First, I let my moms out.  They were very happy to see they could get to pasture.

Some took off without thought of their kids.  Some kids followed and some stayed in the barnyard.

Pistol was a bit more conservative and made sure she had all three of her kids.

They had only been out there a couple of minutes, when my non-mom goats noticed their companions had been let out into the big pasture.  It didn’t matter that they’d had access to the front pasture for the last couple of weeks while the moms were locked in the barnyard.  Nope.  They were still jealous.

They ran to join the moms.  I’m not going to lie.  I think a goose might have been run over.

Even my ten-year-olds joined in the race to the pasture (well, Millie walked regally out to pasture).  Minnie and Meg were acting like spring kids!

Of course, when the two groups met, it required the typical head-butting and horn locking behaviors that drive me crazy.

It didn’t last long though because everyone wanted to eat.

There were family reunions.  Star was quick to locate her mom, Vixen.

Everyone was happy with the move.

Litha’s quads found my thinking stone.  I’m impressed!

Finally, the llama joined the party!

Everyone is on the Back Forty that’s supposed to be there!

An Ornery Llama

I always say the llama is cranky.  He is.

You can tell his mood by those ears.  When they go back, you can expect trouble.

Not that I can see anything in that big brown eye that should make him cranky.

Now, I have evidence of how ornery he is when he’s cranky.

He was pulling MJ’s fur!  Naughty, ornery llama!
