Friday Shoot Outs

Friday Shoot Out
This weeks theme:
Domesticated Animals
Chosen by Sandy
I must say I wasn't sure of what animals were considered Domestic so I looked it up and was very surprised at what I found. Honey Bee? Guinea Pig? Hampster? Corn Snake? Fancy Rat? What the heck is a Fancy Rat??
Go here to check out the whole list.
Mo
Molly








Have a great weekend.

Interesting!! I noticed that the lowly Pig was listed only for meat, but when my oldest brother was a little boy, our grandfather gave him a little piglet. Our parents allowed him to stay in the house as a pet. Eventurlly, of course the pet pig became an unmanageble HOG.

So my mother and brother took the hog back to the country to an uncles farm to be raised with the other hogs. When hog killing time came around, the pet pig(hog) was slaughtered with the rest of his kind. By the time my mother learned of the slaughter there was very little of the meat left for our family.

Moral of the story: You can choose your pets but not your family.

Now who said that? Maybe I just did. True story though, I heard my mother tell it more than once.
Love,
Papa

Mo and Molly are very cool. I like all of your photos. The one that really cathces my eye though is the one of the bull or whatever the thing with the horns is. If you take away the horns, the expression on his face is so peaceful, like you could just walk up and kiss him on the nose. I also like the pig and the elephant. They are so cute.

Bagman and Butler said...

Great pet shots. Does the elephant sleep on your bed at night?

Sarah Lulu said...

Your photos are always beautiful.

I didn't think of elephants!!

But there aren't any roaming around here anyway ahaha...

Have a great weekend my friend.

Pauline said...

A Scattering said...

That is one fashionable rooster! Great shots.

GingerV said...

All are nice but I like very much the rooster, the colors and the tilt of the head. very nice.

Unknown said...

The animals are wonderful. They all look so alert. I love the brown cow. The shoot out was great, even the elephant. Well photographed! Thank you.

Gigi - our bunny has a litter box in her cage and she doesn't go anywhere else. The first day we had her she left a gift in someone's lap but hasn't done it since!

I love your first chicken shot - he looks regal! The first cow looks like she is posing. Love the elephant.

Kerry said...

Gigi, I'm liking the chickens.

Jama said...

I love the picture of the rooster!

Amanda said...

I think you should have put 'dinner' under the farm animals. Good pics.

Unknown said...

love the chicken shots! Great job!

aurbie said...

Mo and Molly are adorable. I am partial to the cat, though.

You covered a lot of animals, but I really like the rooster. You captured him perfectly. Nice light, as well.

CB said...

The rooster rocks!! Thats my favorite although the cat in the very first picture has a look that is hilarious! Animals can be so expressive.

Mikki said...

Great shots! I love the piggy with his tongue sticking out. So cute. I love the bull too. Those horns are pretty awesome. I really love that shot of the hores and carriage too, I just want to be right there in it.

I love your shots. My favorites are the buffalo taking a nap and the chicken because the colors in the photo are so bright and vivid.

Sandy said...

Great pics. I have goats and they really do make great pets.
