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.

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
that rooster is surely keeping a eye on you! all are awesome shots. great shoot out! have a wonderful weekend.
Ohhhh so many wonderful shots..I loved them all..but the brown cow - is divine!!! And the hen - oh they are all wonderful as always!! GReat shoot out hon!! Sarah
fabulous shot of the fowl! and that water buffalo reminds me of my cat, somehow, in the way he's got his chin out while dozing.
Great shootout! i didn't know you had so many domesticated animals at your emoire ;-)
Awesome photos...Mo and Molly are so sweet looking!
I half expected to see a fancy rat - LOL!
I love all your animal photos.
:)
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.
Great pet shots. Does the elephant sleep on your bed at night?
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.
xx
ooooooo - great shots...really great!
I like your piggy with it's tongue sticking out :)
Wonderful photos, every one. that pig looks wonderful in black and white. Why didn't I think of the pig?
That is one fashionable rooster! Great shots.
All are nice but I like very much the rooster, the colors and the tilt of the head. very nice.
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.
Gigi, I'm liking the chickens.
I love the picture of the rooster!
I think you should have put 'dinner' under the farm animals. Good pics.
love the chicken shots! Great job!
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.
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.
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.
Great pics. I have goats and they really do make great pets.
