animal farm friends
you would be much amused with the animals round the ranch
Theodore RooseveltA few days ago I walked around some farmland near an outdoor market. Along the road I made some friends. The swan followed me to the pond and stopped for a rest a couple of times — I think he was an older guy.
The animals I encountered were tame and curious, perhaps because the day was ending and they were settling in for the night.
As I made a complete circuit of the path, the light was changing and had gone from bright to dusk.

sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder
not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.
Richard Paul Evans
What a beautiful evening walk!
I feel as though I was there. Thanks.
😄😇😄
It's a very nice spot not too far from our house - I could probably walk it but well, you know....I don't :)
such a lovely little tale - wished I was there but some things are better enjoyed alone and the presence of another might have spoiled the magic. Golden photos in failing light...

Looks relaxing and peaceful. Except for that goose...they're mean ;)
That was a swam you silly goose! They too can be a little overprotective...but this guy was too old and slow. He puffed up at me a couple of times so I gave him his space.
So it is! Still big mean bird... :)
It's good to see photos of animals in a Farmland like this. I've been living in a City where all I can see is tall buildings and lots of cars that gives nothing but the air full of dust. I am wondering how it feels like to be living in a town like this. Thank you girl for sharing such wonderful photos! :) Have a blessed day... :)
It is nice to see them, that's for sure. I used to live in the city too. Then we moved to the country and then moved back to a small town. I miss the country, that's for sure. But at least I get to visit places like this.
Thanks for visiting!
The color on the neck of the duck is something very special.
btw is it a lama pic 2? :)
I think so, there were some milling about in the fenced area but I couldn't see through those opaque walls. As you can see in the last photo with the sunset shining through, the silhouetted animal looks more like a cow or one of the small horses.
Those ducks were pretty aggressive that day. I think it was mating season. But yes, I agree, their color is amazing. I loved the purple especially.
a yes its cow and something, the it On the first picture, the neck is very long fore a small horse. its going to be unresolved mystery.
I went back and looked at my photos. I would say yes it was a llama in the first shot but the last shot with the silhouette it's two small horses, one has a head down (the back end one). That's my story and I'm sticking to it!! lol
Amazing.. Lovely.. It's so beautiful
True pleasent
Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing a piece of ideal with these lovely photos.
Glad you liked them. Thanks for visiting. :)
Nice photos, I especially like the shots of the swan. I had to look up where Millgrove is because the name sounded familiar. This is in my old cycling range... I would leave Brampton and ride all through this area and down to Burlington, then back home.
Thanks so much Keith. We live just on the other side of Hwy 6 in Waterdown. So this outdoor market is a favorite place to go. It was closed and I had the whole place to myself to watch the sun go down and watch the animals get ready for nightime too.
That's a long bike ride. You must have a fabulous route in Victoria.
