Goats

 


In a post last year I talked about the local herd of goats that wander around town eating overgrown vegetation. There seem to be 2 groups of them, sometimes they are together and other times they separate. Last week I managed to quickly get a shot of a group of them near the railway bridge in town. The baby ones are so cute.

Edited to add: Yes the train tracks are still used but not all the time, probably twice a day and the goats are not in one spot long enough to get hurt, they move around the town.

In Lahti, Finland we have sheeps in the fields doing that. It´s in a place where one of the first humans in Finland lived. Some 10 000 years ago. I visited the place few times. Blogged some photos at the time too.

There was a neighbor near my former home who rented a few goats to thin out the undergrowth on his property. I thought that was clever.

I hope you have good fences and well secured gates around your garden.

As long as they don't wander into someone's garden uninvited then it's a great idea.

That's very cool. There is a town here that has a herd of donkeys at a lake to eat vegetation.

Looks like they're living quite a dangerous life close to roads and railways!

We see goats sometimes on our travels that appear to be "wild" -- they are always fun to watch. we call them brush-eating goats because that's what they seem to be doing.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
