County Fair - Animate Objects

Can't have a fair without the animals, including bleating goats.

Dairy cows hanging out doing their thing - which included chewing, relaxing, chewing, twitching, chewing and contemplation along with assorted mooing. And chewing.
Plenty of sheep at the fair from which woolly goodness like yarn comes. I was calculating how much fiber I could get off while said sheep was calculating the odds of me having food.

This goose did not lay any golden eggs. I am sorely disappointed. Even a parting HONK did not appease me.

Across the aisle this rooster was looking at me with a calculating eye. I bet he was wondering if I could hook him up with the hens in the next row.
Neither noise, nor cameras, nor the blast of fans kept this lamb from his appointed nap.

In another section were bunnies bigger than most small dogs. They did not look enthused by their surroundings, or everyone poking their fingers in to pet them.

This llama had attitude a-plenty. I took my picture and skedaddled before I could get spit on.

What a great documentary! OUr trip to the Chenango County Fair did not, uh... fare as well. Noticeable lack of access to all creatures great and small. NO horses around either!

That llama cracks me up! I love looking at the animals at fairs. They are just so sweet and occasionally sassy. The sleeping lamb deserves an "Awww!".

Why thank you, Oonah!

Nonny - a shame there were no animals. That's what makes a fair fun!Can only stare at so many jars of pickles...

Kath, that was my goal. Photograph animal faces. I wish I could have used a flash, but I didn't want to spook them. The chickens were a riot. Roosters all up in your face, hens calmly laying eggs.
