Wednesday Walk - Back at the Farm Again

We are back at the farm again for this #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay

When we get bored and the baby needs a place to walk we visit a historic living farm that's nearby.

There are plenty of interesting still life objects to take photos of. Here is a vintage lightning rod that sends electricity into the ground via the metal cable. If only there was a way to harvest such intense energy.

Here is a lantern that has been converted to mosquito catching.

Finally the main purpose of visiting the farm. Lots of animals like this drafthorse. Soon it will be going to a competition to pull wagons in a town farther out in the boondocks.

There was even a baby calf, my daughter really enjoyed petting its ear. I think the cow just thought she was another type of annoying fly trying to get at his hear.

The sheep here beg for pets, they bleat loudly until you go over and pet them.

No petting of these stinky pigs. We did get a stick and scratch one's back though.

The ultimate energy absorbing activity for a toddler is to chase fairly tame chickens. The chickens were just out of reach and they helped wind her down for a nap later on.

Now for something completely out of place. A local artist has put these in various areas around the suburbs. This strangely painted Olmec head somehow ended up at the farm. I might have to go around and collect photos of the rest, they look a bit graffitied to me. I would prefer they would have just kept them stone colored like the original Olmec heads and focused on different shapes instead of gaudy colors.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
