August 2014 - Exhibition and Fairs are signalling Fall

Days are becoming shorter. Wildfires in the centre of British Columbia fill the atmosphere with smoke particles and sunsets turn into spectacular displays...

First signs of Autumn: country fairs! Cobble Hill Fair on the 23 Aug war bigger than ever. However, there are less farm animals participating in the exhibitions, except for youth riding programs and 4H live stock competitions, where animals play a major starring role.

The winning face...

4H sheep competition...it is lovely to see the close connection between the young people and their animals.

Young cowboy with his miniature horse. Horse-whisperer in training!

Young Boy and his Duck.

Art Exhibition of works by 'younger' masters. It looks like a portrait of my garden population.

Eager sheepdog keeping his charges under control.

Country Fair Visitor, not too impressed with the entertainment.
