Moonlight

The chickens were just roosting and making a bit of a noise, as they do every night. I thought it would be fun to see if I could get a photograph of them all up the tree as it's so funny to see - however I misjudged quite how dark it had got so when I wandered into the chicken run, camera in hand, I fell into one of their dust baths - which sadly for me, is not very dusty at the moment but has more of a wet mud thing going on. I splattered all over the ground covering myself nicely in chicken poop and earth! I saved the camera, though. *subdued Whoo hoo*

After all that it was too dark to get any photos of them, anyway, so I took the moon, which is stunning tonight, and the lights on our outside deck - cos they look pretty!





Didn't want to get covered in poop for nothing!

  1. Oh dear...poop!

    Wonder if your chickens chuckled amongst themselves at the sight of you falling into the mud and poop lol!

    Glad the camera was safe though...

  5. Too bad, but at least you got some striking photos in any case. That moon through the trees is lovely.
