Route 66 Day

Yesterday we went for a Sunday drive on Saturday –  along Route 66.

A number of towns along Route 66, which is just 30 minutes from here, hosted what they called the Route 66  Red Carpet Corridor or something like that. And as the day was sunny and still and all the animals were settled and sleeping on the farm…

.. we decided to take a drive and check out a few of the towns. Naturally Camera house came along for the ride.

And much to my delight Federico brought his camera too.  Quietly, without flare or noise but with great focus we stalked the main roads of each of the towns, photographing what took our fancy. Looking at the world through our lenses.

There was a kindred feeling.

I enjoyed working with another photographer again.

Our Driver (Our John) checked out all the stalls and ambled around and like a loose herd of young cows we kept each other in sight without too much thought as we grazed the images of the towns.

Another great find. A Blacksmith. a real one, more on that later.

We were not out too long as there was work to be done in the gardens.

Rain is coming and it is warming up so we are working as fast as we can to get all the brassicas planted and some seeds in the ground.

And look what I found when I got home.

A peacock egg. The turkey eggs are due ‘Early May’. I will see if the peahens lay any more and possibly put a few of their eggs in with the turkey eggs. I would LOVE to be able to hatch some peafowl after all this time.

I hope you have a lovely day,

Your friend on the farm,
