The ears slay me!
-
“Hey my brotha man! Wassup? I see you got hooked up with a pro-fession-allity camera so you’re at the right spot, believe me! What’s that, a Canon? A Nikon, huh? Damn, I’m soooooooo sorrrrrrrrrryyyyy! But see these ears? No ‘sale and slaughter’ suckers in this cell! And when I blow this cracker stand for the BIGTIME, you’ll wanna say you knew me when I was just a goat without a goatee! Hehehe! Know that Mr. Ed guy all those years ago? Fake to the fetlocks with that, ‘Wiiiiiiber!!!’ crud! Boy couldn’t speak a LICK of English! But listen to me, bro! Am I talkin’ or what? I mean, can you feel me??? Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about! When I get my agent on the horn, I’ll be ready to lock and load on my rap development deal with Mootown Records. Wanna hang wit the Big Dogs? Ha! OK, I see you gotta jet. Thanks for the chat and watch for me in the news. It won’t be with some silly voice-over mess straight from the horse’s mouth, see? (That freakin’ Mr Ed! I KNOW he be a halfass nitwit!!)” BTW, These goats were behind a blue sunshield so ALL of them had this bizarre blue colour cast I couldn’t get rid of without turning everything monochromatic. Bummer. Kindly featured in Funny Kritters. :-)

“Yo!”

California makes happy cows. I guess the cows make the goats giggle. In turn, the goats make me laugh, especially when they try to bump ‘noses’ with the camera. And I pass the laugh right along to anyone reading my blurbs under pictures of happy goats. Cool, huh? You only need to bump noses with one goat before you don’t wanna do it anymore. Damn, their heads are HARD! It feels like it’s about 2 inches thick and solid steel. And then there’s the lumps. I was concerned one of the first goats I saw looked a bit ‘roughed up’ but that’s what all of them look like. I wonder if there’s a pattern to the bumps like a Klingon forehead. Can you walk into the barnyard and cop a feel to tell which goat was butting you? And where did the word “butting” come from anyway? They’re using their HEADS not their butts to encourage you to move along. Another one of those silly Americanisms. Oh yeah, the goat. He was just standing there with his eyes closed like maybe he was resting those weird looking eyes or something. He certainly grinned like the highly rare Cheshire Goat… BTW, These goats were behind a blue sunshield so ALL of them had this bizarre blue colour cast I couldn’t get rid of without turning everything monochromatic.

(NCF)...Sue. Paul Simon would have sued the Vice President of the United States of America for using his song against his wishes! You think I’m stupid enough to test him in Red Bubble??? Not gonna happen!! :-D

In my continuing face-to-face series, here’s one of the alpacas from the Nevada County Faire. They are far to skittish for me to get this close by calling them or offering anything of interest. In fact, this was the biggest animal I’ve never been able to make much of a connection with. They noticed me and moved away. The biggest reaction I got was from the accidental camera flash and that reaction wasn’t one I was aiming for. LOL! To get this shot, someone walked up behind Al while he was packing food (Groan! That one even made ME cringe and I have no shame whatsoever!) and basically scared him into focus at my end of the pen. The Nikon D80 was pre-focused manually and I’d already gotten enough good shots to know how to set the rest of the camera for the exposure I wanted. I didn’t get it all perfect any of the times I tried but this shot came closest. And since posing for close-ups isn’t an alpaca’s strongest suit, I took what I could get and bowed out of the shoot. I’d clearly bugged the nasal fur off the two critters but the two extremely patient and accommodating handlers were most gracious and I thank then sincerely.

This horse was staring at the girl reflected in his eye. I imagined he wanted her to ride him off into the sunset.

Actually, there’s nothing wrong with Dusty posing. It’s just that it’s so flippin’ weird. The eyes make you think someone passed gas or something. The ears are…. well, strange. The smile is rather forced and he didn’t wipe the slobber off his chin first. But Dusty wanted to be in Red Bubble so Dusty is now in Red Bubble, funny face and all. Honestly, I don’t even know if the name Dusty is for him or the critter in the other pen but this guy knew his ears weren’t adorned with ‘tagged for dinner’ earrings so all was cool – this year…

(Piglet bonding) Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe / hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe / hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!!!!!!!!!! The necessary stuff: / - Nevada County Faire, Nevada County, California / - Nikon D80, with 70-300 telephoto lens, focal length of 270; MANUAL, ISO 320. F: 5.6; 1/40, and Photoshot Elements 3 for resizing and cropping / - Not sure of their gender. / - The pink part is their skin/hide. / - There is no actual anger depicted in this shot and no piglets were harmed in the shooting of this image. (They were nudging each other out of the way for food, i guess) / - Yes, their sneer does look a bit like Elvis’s sneer but this is not Elvis – in fact, neither one is, to the best of my knowledge. / - Mom was right there and approved of this picture of her under-aged piggies. /

Last alpaca shot, I promise! Hehehe! PS For those who saw the original picture in this spot ~~ I had to change it because I left a glaring perspective error that had the trees all leaning inward. It was a 10 second fix in Corel, but I forgot to do it since I did all the rest of the editing with PhotoShop Elements. And Elements is absolutely terrible with the perspective tool, assuming everybody wants to change perspectives proportionately from side to side. If I’d used it on this photograph, the trees on the left would have been tipped backwards with distortion.

(NCF) If so, I am silhouetted by sadness.

“Too Kewl For Skool” was just hanging out and being too mellow to even show off those weird goat eyes. In fact, he looks a bit too chilled out. Another case of brownies before bedtime???? News at 11!

(ncf) This is also SuperPiglet, the pudgy little guy who showed the most individualism and curiosity. If he was in a pet store with cats and dogs and birds and lizards, I’d take him home! Then I’d bring him back before his 300 pound mass stepped thru the floor of my one-bedroom apartment…

This big guy was completely covered in his wool and was also wrapped in a sheep coat-thingie in weather that approached 95 degrees. I’m assuming the 4H kids know what they’re doing but it looked darn awful to me. He had so many characteristics of a 100-year old man that I felt as tho I should have addressed him as ‘sir’ when I asked to take the shot. And yes, I asked. There were a few animals who were skittish of the camera in their pens at first but I managed to calm all but the Alpacas who couldn’t be calmed by their owners either. LOL!
