ANIMAL FARM
It’s the time of year for some animal photos, so I moseyed over to Silverman’s Farm in our weekend home town of Easton, CT and got some good shots. This placid scene is one of my favorites.
I’m going to leave you wondering just how this critter mounted the platform to moon visitors.
The farm is an ideal setting for kids to get the experience of feeding
the animals.
The redhead caught my attention. He was a little tentative at first but a real trooper by the time of the last shot.
The right-hand glimpse, from the viewpoint of the animals, shows that
adults can also get involved.
This lucky girl not only fed animals through the fence but, to my surprise (and with her looking quite unflustered) found one that had “escaped”
the barrier.
Here’s my favorite view from the inside out.
The roosters strutted around, making loud cock-a-doodle-doo sounds.
Here’s my top big bird.
This guy just decided to take a snooze.
Here are two more calm pastoral scenes.
South American llamas and alpacas have invaded CT . . . .
. . . . as has the Australian emu.
Say hello to some homegrown cattle and buffalo.
Critters at rest.
There’s no real connection here, but I’m taken with the images.
This porker is not so pretty . . . .
. . . . but the bunnies are cute.
Check out these guys below proceeding in formation to
the shindig above.
The farm also has a lovely garden featuring the above objects
(plus hummingbirds at the far lower right).
A few floral displays from the premises.
Give the farm credit for providing a decorative comfort station.
A lot of animals look even better in black & white, as can be seen with this buffalo. So we’ll view the balance of the portfolio from that perspective.
Such earnest expressions.
That’s about as far as he could get.
Don’t these guys look better in black & white?
You may miss the touch of red, but otherwise these roosters fare well
in this medium . . . .
. . . and the bunnies are made for it.
Here’s that snoozer again.

. . . our Australian import . . .
