I’m one of ten official bloggers for the CNE this year. This is my fourth blog posting about the CNE, all about a visit to the farm building.

Lots of cute baby piglets in the farm building!

A baby foal, with it’s mother:

Lots of sheep!

Cows!

Ostrich Awake:

Ostrich Falling Asleep:

Funny looking Lamas, mom and youngster:

I was generally captivated by the animals, but there are also some wares to be purchased.

Beeswax Candle:

Lots of Honey:

I’m hoping to capture some photos of the Air Show, but not sure if the weather will co-operate, if it does, will post about it, if not, will have one more catch-up blog posting of un-posted images from my visits to the CNE this year.

I’m one of ten official CNE bloggers, this is my third blog post about the CNE this year. This one is about the full games you can play.

I’m sure you’ll be able to figure out that I simply loved photographing the Ring Around the Bottle game! The repetition, the fading off into bokeh, processed in a nostalgistic way, definitely a fave!

Water gun game:

Catch the fishie!

Bottles, bottles, bottles!

Watch for another CNE blog posting soon….
