Some of the handsome faces at Markham Fair. I should have made a note of the different breeds.

| This one was "too chicken" to have her portrait taken so she fluffed up her feathers, turned her back, and gave me the evil chicken eye. |
Lovely photos. Greetings from Montreal. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your series of photos from the Fair. It's always so interesting to me, as one of those city boys, to see all the various breeds of each animal. Until I do, I tend to think of each one as a sort of generic type; all one color, same fur or feathers, etc.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are GREAT! Sham....I love Chickens and to get such wonderful close-ups of these amazing Birds---well, you did yourself and the chickens, proud!!!
ReplyDeleteFun shots. Did you happen to see any of them cross the road? ;)
ReplyDeleteChickens are strange looking creatures, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteProof that chickens are actually handsome birds!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Shammie!! I love the camera shy chicken, but they all seem to have funny little attitudes.
ReplyDeleteYup, sorry, I've been a little absent in blogland. A mix between busy and lazy.We've been away the past 3 weekends and then when I'm home, I've been too lazy to upload photos to the blog. But we had an amazing fall adventure this weekend, so hoping to do a post later today...you've inspired me to get back on it!
That last chicken seems to be saying How rude!!
ReplyDeleteLove it and the interesting faces you captured. I didn't make it to any Fairs this year. My camera is suffering withdrawals.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours today.
Great pics! I like that you used an Oscar Wilde quote, too. He had very different values than I do, but I think I would still appreciate hanging around the man--just for his incredible wit.
