Cam & I had a fantastic day at the Royal Adelaide Show. This agricultural show has been going on since the 1840s. We spent the entire Saturday & had loads of fun. Mostly it was looking at all the animals, some of which I captured on film.
First up were the little piggies. Not just five, but a dozen were taking a snooze in between a feeding frenzy. I love how the one in the middle is eying the camera as if I was going to move into his territory.
We watched horse shoeing on the way to the wood chopping. There were really tall totems next to this line of men, but we didn't see them cut those down. It took merely a few seconds to cut through these logs.
On to the sheep & goat shed. The shed reminded Cam of Tony's new one at the farm, except instead of being full of Websters or machinery, there were sheep. We've seen sheep sheering before (after all, we were at the sheep shoring hall of fame last year) but this was for a competition. The men were quite good, but generally seemed a bit mean to the animals. Sheep really do just go and can get spooked easily. This goat got the prize for "best scratch!"
One of my new pastimes is finding cutouts & snapping photos. This one really does wonders for my neckline. Next two posts will also cover the show throughout the day. Till then.
