These photographs were taken on my first evening at
Blessingbourne House as I walked around the lake. The
horse, called “Toy Boy” belongs to Coleen, Nick’s wife and she rides it as
often as she can. There is a short video of Nick, the owner when he is taking the cows and calves that you saw on yesterday's post when I walked though the farm yard, out to pasture.
Coming nose to nose with the live stock!!
Toy Boy waiting for a scratch.

ReplyDeletenot only good fences but beautiful fences. all of your photos are so very beautiful.. makes me ashamed of my ugly fence today... i have a passion for cows and the video is wonderful. love that little white baby
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra You fences were not ugly today at all and I loved the light in the shots. I am glad you liked my post and the reason I have so many is because I am in the middle of showing my photographs from Blessingbourne House. I am still showing photographs from the first evening!!!!
Deletejust a lovely place! love the cattle and the curving fence, and of course, toy boy. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking through the stone pillars makes me think of a Jane Austen story. Love the beautiful purple flowers, too! Beauty all around you today! Sweet hugs from Florida, Diane
ReplyDeleteThese photos of some great fences are just out of this world pretty. You are sooo good with your camera and you had some lovely country to play in. :)

What a super place to visit and your photos are wonderful, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteStunning photos, Margaret! I especially love the tranquility expressed in #3....just so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe lake is beautiful, and I enjoyed seeing that you got up close and personal with the livestock. The gate is pretty, but I really like the wooden fence along the lane.
ReplyDeleteVery entertaining post Margaret, from all these lovely photos to the video. I have always loved cows and that beautiful horse profile, well, he's a sweet horse.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos... YES---they do NEED those fences, don't they???? When we were traveling out west one year, I noticed that the cattle were wandering all over the place --with no boundaries nor fences.... I had never seen that before... We had to be careful not to drive too fast for fear of them crossing the road in front of us... ha
ReplyDeleteHugs,

ReplyDeletewow, what a gorgeous estate. i love the cow nose. too cute. reminds me of my childhood. my mom her family had a cow farm. i got licked all the time. that is an experience you will never forget. ha. ha!! have a great day. ( :
ReplyDeleteEverything about this post is so beautiful; including, the mountain bike cattle herding :)
ReplyDeleteI like the variety of fencing you've shown here. Toy Boy is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love those cows all in a row. Cows are curious! Never saw anyone snap the whiskers, how cute! The lake is beautiful, and I love the shot of the garden through the two pillars.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely dock- all I would need is a comfortable chair, a cool lemonade and a favorite book. My camera too, of course! Love all your shares today.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Looks like a very relaxing place to spend a few days.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the video. Lovely place to roam and relax.
ReplyDeleteAn entertaining post of fine pictures. I like the fencing which included some beautiful flowers. Boy Toy was a special treat. Looks a great place to visit.
ReplyDeleteI agree with those who said your fences were not just good ones, but absolutely beautiful ones. I enjoyed the video as well. The cows are eager to come back for their evening meal. At least, that is how I interpreted their happy trots as they came up to the gate. Your photographic eye is evident in every shot you post :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place. That pond looks so like the one down the street from us. I LOVE that cow nose! Lovely captures.
ReplyDeleteNice fences, gates, and cattle snouts? :) Gorgeous flowers tumbling about.
ReplyDeleteI've exceeded my bandwidth for the month. Too many kiddy videos and photos. This took forever to load! But it was worth it!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the photo with the curved fence. Makes me want to follow that path around the bend to see what's there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my Good Fences Post.
I love the old whitered (?) fence. It´s lovely.
