This holiday our daughter asked for a camera as a gift. She begged, she pleaded and we felt she was ready. Never a huge hiker, she now brings her camera along on our family walks and adventures. Stopping, snapping images […]
With 4 roosters strutting around our 33 hens, things can sometimes get a little amorous on the property. They all have unique relationships and their "favourite" girl, usually of the day. I had my camera and …
I am not going to "poo-poo" romance today because I get the whole "Valentine's Day thing", really, I do. But neither am I going to give you some long, romantic tale about our plans for the …
