Recently we took a drive one evening to see if we could spot the Goats that had been released in what is someday supposed to be a Mall here. It's been vacant for several years now & over grown with brush and just looks horrible. So the city brought in a herd of over 300 goats to help clean up all the brush and plants so they can begin to start working on the mall again next year.
Here is one of the pictures of those goats.
On the way home we spotted some deer in a field nearby so we pulled into a parking area and I took a few pictures.
It had been raining and after we saw these deer we spotted a lovely rainbow in the sky.
Finally just because I think it's pretty I'm sharing a photo of a Golden Chain tree and some Rhododendron's that I took recently while out driving.
What a beautiful season it is!
Also my new header today is some Chalk Art that Coleen drew last night in our driveway. I converted them to Impressionist type photos on, www.befunky.com and used PicMonkey to create the banner.
Hello, I hope all those goats will have enough to eat. Love the rhododendrons, the deer and the pretty rainbow! Great captures. Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteColeen is an artist for sure. great job with the chalk.. and also with the wide angle of the rainbow... they are both so beautiful as are the deer and I LOVE THOSE GOATS... i bet they will clean that place up quickly and have fun doing it
ReplyDeleteWhat a large goat herd! So fun to see them clearing a vacant lot. They have used goats for that purpose here in Portland too. Nice rainbow!
ReplyDeleteYou see beauty, because you have a beautiful eye & soul, Ida
ReplyDeleteFun chalk art and looks like a very nice drive!
ReplyDeleteI noticed your new banner...very nice! I love it and need to try something like that. LOVE the double rainbow you saw and all the animals! It's a busy time of year! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting view to see so many goats herded! Maybe I'm not understanding how the goats are connected to the Mall that will be built? Oh the deer are always precious:) But the rainbow is stunning! Many thanks for sharing that in SEASONS - so that means it has rained in your neighborhood? Have a great rest of the week!

ReplyDeleteWow, I'd think that many goats would have it cleaned up in no time! The last photo, with the rhododendron looks like a painting, a beautiful capture. Love the chalk art in your header, too. Great rainbow shots.
ReplyDeletewell that is a brilliant way to clean up a natural area! Bring in the goats! Ha.
ReplyDeleteThey will probably love having all the stuff to jump and climb on too.
Love the rainbow shots!
