Although I live in the country and I see farm animals pretty often, the chances of taking any nice new ones between now and Christmas are not great. Here are some that I have taken over the past few years instead.

Born in England in 1957 my family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008.
We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. David passed away in 2015 and I'm here on my own now but I have Cindy the dog and Polly the cat to keep me company.
I currently co-write two Wordpress blogswith my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and a "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania.

The oxen (?) look disinclined to pull ANYTHING. In fact, they look like the moment they are free, they are going to run in opposite directions and never meet again!
When I took this picture Mickey and Major had just recently been promoted to lead bullocks. The guy who owns the team often takes them to local country shows and other events. What they seemed to like most was to stop and graze when they were supposed to be working. Bullock drays did a lot of the heavy hauling in pioneering days.
I like our ZZtop photo. 😀 😀
