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,

These are all so wonderful Poppy’s is dramatic and full of expression. Such a wonderful portfolio. Children’s book authors/novelists should be clamoring for you to supply book covers and illustrations
I’d go with the snowy scene with the barn for #1 choice as it is your farm or the man walking. Both classic, universal, and timeless.
Maybe Pan should pick a number /name out of a hat or off a clothes line with pages clipped by clothespins?
Celi ~ how in the world are we supposed to choose just ONE!!! I live for your pictures!!! I love the idea of a picture book!! I think it would sell very well with your fabulous portfolio of animals in real life!! I’ve looked at these pictures many times this morning and I love all of them! I love the kitties, piggies, cows, Godot, Peghorn, the Kids, Elsie the Horse!! ~ all of them!! OK ~ #13 and #22 steal my heart! #23 Godot! #4 the Kids!! How many can I purchase??? and who draws the name? put everybody’s name in a hat, shake it up and roll ’em out on the floor and see which one Boo picks up!! Great job Celi!!
Good morning!
I really love all your photos, it’s one of the highlights of your blog.
I loved the “find your voice” from yesterday…I can so relate to that girl I feel like I go into a tube when I speak in public, my ears burn and my voice is weird….
Anyway I really think photo # 3 is just beautiful.
Have a great day!

It is such a hard choice ..but! I love the barn chickens! 😀
# 4 dogs and pig…..I instantly smiled out loud. perhaps the Cadet could have the privilege of doing the draw : ) Thanks for giving us a chance at a gift. and I love a pig with a secret.
Your photos are gorgeous and such a testament to life on a farm, but your farmy, of course! Couldn’t possibly choose a favourite photo, so pick someone else…
Nr1 , the cute kittens and Nr11 puppy
Godot and the train, but it’s so hard to pick just one – there are quite a few jostling for my number one. Some folk have suggested the Cadet to make the draw: I second, third, or fourth that! I was going to suggest Poppy, but she doesn’t look like she’ll need any extra treats… Will Tima be kinder to Tane once he has all his equipment?! I expect there are loads of reasons why you might not want to sell your pics, but if it ever takes your fancy SmugMug does all the selling, collecting the money, and sending out for you – I expect there are other similar sites. Might make some pin money for dear Sheila. Anyway, thank you for all these treats today.
Number Four: Tima takes the dogs for a walk, please! Hard, hard choice, but you know how I feel about the naughty girl… Fingers crossed hard for Poppy’s Big Secret!
It has been a long day in my world, and I eventually land here to discover Poppy has a secret. Wonderful! Fingers, knees, toes & elbows all crossed for her. The photos are wonderful, I can just imagine them all hanging in a gallery…… Maybe, one day!
I thought it would be Number twenty three for me – Godot and train, but having scrolled down and up several times… The eyes have it with FOURTEEN: Kitten in pot.
Hard to Choose, they are all amazing. I like # 8 because it reminds me of the first 32 years of my life in Wisconsin. I saw this view many times as I traveled about in my home state. I also like # 21 because it’s as if the Almighty has opened up the heavens for us.
I’m so torn between Two Kittens and Old Peghorn, but I think I have to go with Old Peghorn because of his beautiful colours!
Like Maggie I have to go with Tima the love of my life…. but that’s hard too.. so many gorgeous shots, especially the greys of the snow and mists and barn and man walking… just love them all…
Wow, hard decision. But I like #3 Snow on Barn the best. Very dreamy, romantic, hushed.
