Johnny




My friend John loves to talk
about farming when he comes
for coffee. On his last visit
I persuaded him to allow
me to take a photo of him
so I could draw his portrait.

Calf At Upper Canada Village






I photographed this calf at Upper Canada Village last summer. He looked so beautiful in the
bright sunshine, knee-deep in the long grass and
wild flowers of the pasture.
