The Sydney Royal Easter show is a chance for the country to come to town and show the city people what country life is all about. Different competitions, events and showcases are run during the show. Here we have a little piglet taking timeout from the fast pace of the show….amazing that he can sleep as thousands of people try and squeeze through to get a glimpse of all the different animals…. Photo Taken: 11-Apr-2006 / Time: 12pm / Conditions: Hall, luckily this little fella was right next to a huge wide door with naural light coming in.
Hill 60 was a low rise on the southern flank of the Ypres salient and was named for the 60 metre contour which marked its bounds. Today there is a memorial on the hill and a restuarant behind which these piglets were photographed.
These two little pigs live in the petting zoo at Trago Mills Shopping Outlet near Newton Abbott, Devon. UK. / Thank you for looking.
A large percentage of the world’s honeybees have been MIA lately. Nobody knows for sure what the causes are, and we are just beginning to grasp what the effects in long term may be, but I am absolutely certain of one thing – this can’t be good news for Winnie The Pooh! This was my first project for my Digital Illustration class with David Hylton. Pen & Ink drawing, scanned into Photoshop, then colored in using different textures from photographs. Turned out to be a pretty big hit among my peers :)
This image placed 6th in the Birds challenge on May 15, 2009. My name for these little ruby-throated hummingbirds is “Flying Piglets”. They congregate at our feeders in swarms – no way you could count them. We never could afford to buy the hummingbird food sold in the stores. Every summer we use 100+ pounds of sugar and make an average of 8-12 cups of sugar-water per day to feed the crew. Around this time of the year I’m usually found pointing toward the south as the flying piglets zip to and fro around my head. I’m more than ready for them to head to the next feeding resort somewhere in Mexico or South America! Thank you for stopping by to comment on this image.

The famous Australian Landmark, The 12 Apostles. A collection of limestone stacks, on the Great Ocean Road, Port Campbell National Park, VIC, Australia. Few have fallen down now, but the name remains the same. The name was changed in 1950 from Sow & Piglets, Muttonbird Island was the “Sow” and the little islands, or apostles now, were the “Piglets”. This shot taken 10th May 2009, these formations change constantly. Canon 50D, 40mm, 7:40am. Available Large!
The ears slay me!
Well, if you’ve got uppers and lowers, and the most aggressive get first pick, would YOU pick an upper or a lower “bunk boob”? Seems that the lowers have the advantages of allowing you to lay down and eat and doesn’t gravity pull all the extra swallows down to lower ‘food stations’? Then again, the advantages of being in an upper boob are the ability to stand on lower boobers while proving your dominance and more air while eating. I think I’d go with an upper myself: more boobs available, less waiting. Hmm, I guess the photograph solves the question then: 5 of 8 piglets prefer to stand over someone to eat so the top bunk boob wins by two nipples. I wonder what happens if she lays on her RIGHT side. Is the top bunk position still on the top or to piglets prefer the same boob no matter where it is? As soon as mama rolls over, I’ll tabulate the numbers by nipples since telling the tiny bacon babies apart is still somewhat problematic…
The remarkable Vietnamese pig, Bertrina. / I was roped into feeding her for three days while the family Hetzel went on vacation. I lived in Yosemite at the time, and the house was far superior digs (despite the resident pig) to the little goldminer’s shack I called home about twenty minutes drive away, into the foothills. / Bertrina was exceptional. Very bright, allowed inside from her palatial outdoor combos of rooms and housing and pens and plants, to frolick with the family and dogs. Bertrina would roll on her back, little stubby legs in the air, and wait for belly rubs. The dog had short legs too. / I had some trepedation about this, being alone with the house and its occupants as Bertrina and I weren’t exactly friends yet and she was blind as a bat. The feedings were adventuresome. I tried to block her running into the house, keep the dog from running out, find the cat in the tree, and water the plants. But the most exciting moments arrived when Bertrina mistook my bright orange clogs for mangos and tried to eat them. You don’t want to be wearing anything ever that a pig is keen on eating. / Okay, you’ve been warned. Who else would give you advice like this.
