A few blocks from where I am staying was this farm which I watched evening after evening as the locals came by for a visit with the cows, sheep, geese and emu. I decided to go check them out and I met a very sweet cow (did I just say that?) Norman. Norman it turns out is about 10 months old and a little greedy when it comes to being fed. He was so adorable how could anyone resist though? He is featured on the last 2 photos. This was a pretty unique experience for me because A) I'm a city girl and B) This was a real farm. It was so neat to meet the man who owned these guys and chat for awhile. Turns out he raises the animals organically which made me feel good but then the thought of them being eaten made me sad so I skipped thinkin bout that. These guys are just too adorable. I don't think I could ever be a farmer, I'd get too attached. Funny, I'd never known how affectionate cows and sheep could really be until this afternoon. Animals are just so special I guess, each having their own sweet personalities. Oh yeah, the Emu was shy and not interested in my bribes with bread so I don't have any pics of him. At least not digitally. Yes, I shoot film also : ) Old school but I luv it!
