The Fair
Labor Day means The Fair in my town. Yes, I know that was LAST weekend - I am behind. I've been to The Fair nearly every year of the 28 years I have lived here, yet I do not think I have ever taken any pictures. So this year I hauled the camera along. I have just uploaded the photos to my computer, and some I just had to share. This is my favorite:
This ox was massive and stunning. I believe he was over 6 feet high at the shoulder, and had a deep chest and neck. He stood very still, and patiently assessed the many people passing by. He seemed to possess a true dignity.
There were sheep, and pigs,
rabbits and mountain lions (sadly in a cage).
The 4-Hers groomed and showed their animals, and food stands dressed up in their gaudy advertising.
I can't believe it's September already!
