The camera I am using now was a Christmas present back in 2006 and I have taken literally thousands of pictures with it. Not to mention the pictures I haven't kept- for every good picture I take, I've probably taken 15 not-so-good-ones. I usually delete the dark, blurry, or random ones off the card before they ever get to the computer.
Some have fallen through the cracks along the way, though...
For example-
Silkie, exit stage left.
Apparently I saved this rare photo of a headless bird for a reason.
(I think it's head was turned. I hope.)
This next picture defies any logical explanation I have.
In the first place, why was I holding a dead snake on a pitchfork.
In the second place, Why did I take a picture of it?
Do I have issues?
It always helps to move the screen door out of the way before taking a picture.
Here are some random pictures that need to be filed under something.
Wool.
Wabbit.
Wainbow.
I'll just file them under... "W".
This picture of little Edie when she was just 6 months old has a funny story behind it- I grabbed my camera to take this because she was standing so still I thought she was posing for me. Turns out, her head is stuck in the fence. (Look closely and you'll see the little square around her neck.) The sad thing is, I snapped about 10 pictures before I finally started wondering why she wasn't moving.
*Sigh*
"Yoo-hoo! I'm ready for my close-up!"
There are times when you take a picture but you don't see everything through the tiny little lens....
While posting about how cold it was last winter,
I took this next picture of me breaking the ice out of the sheep's water.
Once I saw it on the big computer screen, I decided it would be best not to include this one.
Although I've taken lots and lots of bad or random pictures, each one has a little special memory attached to them- and I guess that's why I take them in the first place.....
Even if it's of somebody's rear!
Happy Friday, everyone!
Love those pictures. So funny.
ReplyDeleteWell let's see. This being the Spooky season, I'd say that headless bird was Ichabod (Crane).
ReplyDeleteI normally delete all bad photos right away.
OK, Paula...the picture of that snake gave me the heebie jeebies! BLECH!
ReplyDeleteThe headless bird almost got me, but...coffee out the nose! Edie! Bwahaha! Poor Edie! Snort,snort!
ReplyDeleteLOL cute photos....you should come on over and link up to my Farm Photo Friday linky party!! Have a great weekend and do stop over and say hi!
ReplyDeleteI just loved these photos! Quite entertaining this morning! Have a great weekend Paula! It's a cold 45 here in NW Florida this morning; but I'm not complaining!
ReplyDeleteCute pictures! Me, too - I've got to go through and cull about 3/4 of my pics. It's going to take 2 years to do that!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the sheep poop til you pointed it out.
Love the headless bird - good Halloweed pic! Have a wonderful weekend, Pam!
a very cute collection of randomness!
ReplyDeleteWe love looking at all those nutty pictures you save for some reason
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
LOVE these "rejects!" They tell such great stories!! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou keep on striking a pose, Daisy girl! Even your "rejects" are good. Enjoyed them all, Paula. Thank you for making us all smile on Fridays!
ReplyDeleteLoved them all even if you did not want to post them! Have a good weekend. blessings,Kathleen
ReplyDeleteI tried all summer to get a good shot of some hummingbirds, and didn't get one good one! I have lots of flowers and sky and a little bit of their tails as they flew away. It is hard for me to delete anything.
ReplyDeleteI was smiling for every picture! Wow-Edie is one beautiful sheep. But my fav is the last one-of course-feathery butts are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is funny! I've been trying recently to "trash" photos when I download instead of keeping every one of them on my computer. I love the story of the black sheep. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are all interesting!! I take the worse pictures! or forget to put the card back into the camera before a shoot.
ReplyDeleteToo funny.. loved every one of those pics, had me laughing from the first to the last...
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to visit The Fraker Farm!
Blessings N Hugs,

Great post, loved all the pictures, each one left me smiling and maybe a chuckle or two!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures. Daily life.. and all that goes with it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
p.s. I wouldn't have known it was poop, until you pointed it out :)
This post is so funny to me! I sifted through a bazillion photo's just like them about a week ago. My friend Alexis(backacherfarm.com)wanted some pics and what I found were: poop, chicken bottoms, blurs and various other weird shots.
ReplyDeleteP.S.
I LOVE those fuzzy bottoms. :)
I love your 'W' file and all your lovely sheep... you have me laughing... I also have a lot of deletes that sometimes I find in the recycle bin and say, "Hey, why did I delete that moment!" Oh well...
ReplyDeleteI had a goat last month that did the same as your sheep, getting her head stuck in just such a corner.
Happy Wainbows for you dear!
Hi Paula, Thanks for the smiles! The closeup of Daisy might be my very favorite! Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha!!
ReplyDeleteI have tons of these things toooo! I REALLY need to sit down and clear mine out as well!
Love them All!!

Love the blooper pics and especially of the headless bird. I too have one of those (my parrot).
ReplyDeleteYour miss Lily and her sunbathing on a quilt, what a pinup shot.
Ha..ha you so remind me of myself...lots of goofy pictures...but we must do this to get those great shots...lol I too have an outside storage..even though I try to clear bad ones off after I view theme..I still have zillion of them..lol thanks for a fun write up! Made my day!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Gert
LOL you are so funny...I love the captions you put on all your pictures. You gave me a much needed laugh this morning.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, LOVE this post. That headless bird is something and poor Edie! That sounds exactly like something I would do.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great post!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this post! Oh, how many pictures are out there that deserve some mention for some funny or odd reason and we just never include them because we think they aren't "right" at the moment! Your comments under each are just priceless. Love the precious little wabbit!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by my blog and for saying you had been wondering about me...yep, I'm still here. Things have taken a good turn for us, plus we moved to AZ to be close to the kids, and well, I am blogging now much more than I have been able to in quite a while, at least consistently. I had missed you! Glad we are connected again!

Oh, Paula, I love those photos. The close up of the animals peeping through the fence is adorable. I like these photos very much of your farm. The peach tree blossoms are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI think that snake found his faith correctly. Richard from Amish Stories.
ReplyDeleteYou always make me smile....
ReplyDeletePoor Edie!
ReplyDeleteEven the rejects tell a great story!
Love them all......

you have very similar photoalbums to mine - I have goat poop in many pics and dogs running past the camera lens - but same personality and flair to our photography - the delete button is my friend.
ReplyDeleteI found my way over here from Winona's blog, Cat Lover and Quilt Maker, and I'm so glad I did! Aside from all the beautiful photos scattered through your blog, this particular post was hilarious! Have a great Sunday! :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I used to raise sheep, those darn things were always getting their heads stuck in the fence--and we were kinda dumb about it. One night, a ewe bawled nearly all night long, next morning, we realized her head was stuck in the fence, and... we had heard coyotes the night before--she would have been easy pickin's!
