In the Portrait categories (Colour and Black & White), both of my photos came second.
And I was very happy indeed to see that I had won the Farm Scene category!
It was so hot I didn't really pay much attention to what I was photographing, leaving me pleasantly surprised when I got a few got shots!
This little lamb was called Tiny and was only a couple of days old.
This Blackface ram was huge!
My show companion for this year was Fly. She made many friends.
Little goats!
We wandered around, baking in the sunshine.
Fly made even more friends.
Fly was entered in the dog show. She didn't win anything, but she was my winner!
A fellow dog show contestant.
The best behaved dog winner!
Towards the end of the day was a cattle parade. This bull went on to be the champion of champions.
There was also a sheepdog demonstration - with ducks and geese!
It was Fly's first day out at a show like this. She walked well on the lead, took the bigger animals and the noise in stride. She was a bit snappish with other dogs but an angel with people. For a first timer I think she did very well.
By the end of the day I was hot, sweaty and had a spitting headache, but at least I had some prize money home with me.
