Happy as a pig in......

sh*t - oh, it's not a pig, it's a chicken blip.

There's nothing that makes a chicken so happy as a good dust bath, and they are particularly proud if they can find a nice patch of freshly dug soil with some seeds planted.

We are wise to this however, and fence the vegetables, rather than fence the chickens in so they have the rest of the garden to scratch up.

Speaking of pride, it's the theme for some of us today, and actually I am really proud that I have put up 45 consecutive blips that have been viewed nearly 4000 times. It might not be much in terms of lots of the members here clocking up 500 blips, but for me, very new to photography, it's a bit of an achievement.
