A little animal magic down on the farm.




During our weekend of local sightseeing we stopped off here for lunch. It's a working farm but like many farms, has 'diversified'. They have a cafe serving home cooked food, a farm shop, selling farm produce and a gift/ craft shop selling local hand made gifts. Just couldn't leave without a few animal photos, i did think maybe I could try a couple of animal paintings. I especially like the angus cattle.

    I think they are called Indian runners but not sure, they were very pretty little things, so black that their wings shone blue if you know what i mean

    Ahh, they're not actually black, but I've stil not seen these particular colours on a duck before. Any idea if it's a rare breed?

    Now there's a sight you'd be lucky to see on the opposite side of the planet. He'd need a short back and sides to cope with Aussie heat. Scottish bull rastie...
