Goodbye, March!
Hullo, April.
(Only a day late). Here are some of my favourite farm photographs for March. A wee anthology of the month.
And a give-away. I am shortly sending off an order for some prints so I would like to do one for you too. So let’s have another give-away! For those of you who leave a comment on the blog today you will go into the draw for an enlarged signed print of any image you choose from this collection.
Just tell me which one is your favourite. And if your favourite is not even in this collection tell me that too! Here goes.
ONE: Two kittens.
TWO: Elsie running. (Keep in mind that her black face on the black body is hard to transfer without losing definition so it may not print well – but I still love the shot as part of the March collection!)
THREE: Snow on Barn
FOUR: Dogs and Tima.
FIVE : Peahens
SIX: Chick in foreground.
SEVEN: Man Walking.
EIGHT: The Farmy is Mist.
NINE: Cats playing tree.
TEN: Lady Astor at the gate.
ELEVEN: Poppy.
TWELVE: Godot.
THIRTEEN: Playing Goats.
FOURTEEN: Kitten in pot.
FIFTEEN: Four Kids
SIXTEEN: Pan. (Though this may not print so well.)
SEVENTEEN: Old Peghorn.
EIGHTEEN: Portland
NINETEEN: Lady Astor, Elsie and TonTon
TWENTY: Tima and Tane sleeping.
TWENTY-ONE: Midwest sky
TWENTY TWO: Three kittens.
TWENTY-THREE: Godot and train.
TWENTY-FOUR: Chooks and Sheep
TWENTY-FIVE: Hazel
Looking forward to your choices! Choose the image you love the most in your comment. Now I wonder who should do the draw this time. Any suggestions of who and how?
And yes, this works for international readers too.
(Poppy has a Big secret that she is not allowed to UN secret until we are quite, quite sure. )
I hope you all have a lovely day.
Your friend on the farm,

Uhm, I choose Poppy. Or maybe, misty farm…perhaps it was Lady Astor? Yes, that’s what it was! 😉
Yes, beautiful photos. All of them. Except the running cow. I really hate it when cows run. I’ve seen them run straight through fences and down the road. My fav is the Border Collie ruminating with the cows of the same color scheme. Same direction, Same pose. It needs a caption, but I haven’t got one. I’ll ruminate on that.
After reading your comment i went and shifted Aunty Del – very very carefully.. c
thanks, rainman 😉
Oh dear Celi! There are too, too many fantabulous shots to pic a fave! You are an excellent photographer ❤
I think my fave is Lady Astor at the Gate
… closely followed by Man Walking; The Farmy In Mist; Godot & Train; and … Gee – ALL of them!
Celi, have you thought about selling them? I would absolutely buy some. I would buy high res digital copies in a heart beat! No muss, no fuss = buyers could print/canvas wherever they are 🙂 ❤
{Fingers X'd for Miss Poppy!}
Which is your fave of these ones? 🙂
Hmm.. if someone could work out how I could do that easily? I probably would? I like the idea of buyers buying them and having them printed and mailed to themselves.. When I have a moment I will look for a service like this.. wait.. I think i know where.. c
Number Eleven: Poppy. Although the Kitten in the Pot was a close second. And there were so many others that were wonderful. I have been working even more excessively than usual, so I treated myself by saving those two as screensavers. All the credit will go to you!
I am always thrilled when an image is nicked for a screensaver.. Love it!! When i print I go back and find the origonal image and they are very hi res, even better!
Oh, wow… so finding my voice yesterday was excellent timing cuz now I get to post today to get in on the give-away — what a thoroughly generous thing to do, thank you in advance!
My favourites, as much as I have fallen head over heels for the kids, are (a) THREE: Snow on Barn and (b) ELEVEN: Poppy — who could not just fall in love with her from this photo? How to choose? hmmmm… well, because the dark shadows may not transfer well into an enlargement, I suppose I must choose “THREE: Snow on Barn” and now cross my fingers 🙂
Just a suggestion, but the Cadet may be a good one to pull a name out of a hat.
hahaha… and if comments were to win the photo, my pick would have to go to Lindsay, equating a running, lumbering heifer to a wild mustang…
Again, thank you for such a great thing. Have a great day! Mame
ooooh YES! My vote goes to the cadet also – perhaps out of her cute wooly hat she had on a while back?
finding your voice was the BEST!
I love #19: Lady Astor, Elsie and TonTon! Or #11: Poppy would be equally loved…. and always makes me smile.
Ooh it took me a long time to get to the bottom of the comments! Welcome to April and I’m dying to know Poppy’s secret 🙂 I lvoe them all but especially Old Peghorn and Mist x
Now that brings out even this long-time lurker – and much as I love them all, number 7 is definitely my fav. As to who should pick the winner: how about the cats, or one of them? Little bits of paper with names at the top of the stairs, the first one that reaches the ground floor by cat activity wins?
My favorites, of course, are the pictures of the cats and the “black & white” of the cows with Ton Ton.
Such a hard decision! I’m stuck on both 7 and 8! I think if you forced me, I would choose #8. Just so peaceful and gorgeous.
I can not get the image of Camera House Balanced in Crook of Arm out of my head as I look at these photos. I love them all but would choose #10, Lady Astor at the Gate. It just brings so much calm to my soul. Who to choose the winner ?- The Cadet. How? I don’t know! However is easy for you.
Each is so special and I love the animals, but somehow the farmy in the mist is my favorite. I think it’s because I can hardly imagine such immense unoccupied space! I like to imagine what that would feel like. 🙂 Fingers crossed for Poppy!
Ooh, this is a hard one, I like quite a few! I like 10, 11, 12 and 17!
Eleven (Poppy) for sure. Especially since she may have some exciting news to share soon!
This is a tough call but since I dream about meeting the Kune, I go with the dogs and Tima. The ones of the barn and several of the cat ones are also great but I gotta go with my girl Tima.
