animals

Today the boys and I went for drive around the area to scout out some neat photo locations. We were on our way home and I decided to turn onto a dirt road that I have never been down before. About 1/2 mile down the road I noticed a bunch of cars and people standing along the fence. Turns out the Budweiser Clydesdale Breeding Center is just a few miles from my house.

Such beautiful creatures. Huge too. Unfortunately there were 2 rows of tall fencing so these photos are the best I could get because, well, I am short.







The fence is over 5' tall. I am 5'4" and could barely see over when on my tip-toes.


Just a few days ago, the sheep were back in town. Every spring we get to see the sheep grazing on the rolling green hills of the valley. Again, cars were lined up the street with people taking pictures. There are hundreds of sheep in this flock.









You'd think I lived out in the sticks with all these animals around, but I don't. Notice the tract housing in the top left of the picture below? They were right on the edge of a 6 lane main road.


This little dude was crazy. He was running around like a mad man, and ramming into other sheep.
