state fair

Checking out more local culture in Boise at the Western Idaho State Fair.  I don't think I have been to a fair in almost 20 years.

Bad day to be on my new "no white" diet (no white flour, white sugar, or milk).

Petting zoo - I could not tell if this poor mangy lamb was asleep on its feet or just waiting to die

the brontosaurus goat

The bunnies were so cute - then a 9 year old boy came out of nowhere yelling at me for taking pictures, saying it was against the rules, and made me delete some fine rabbit shots.  Normally I wouldn't give in to a kid, but it is Idaho and I don't know if this boy had any kinfolk waiting in the parking lot as backup.

So afterward, a nice mother and daughter who witnessed the verbal assault felt sorry for me and let me take a shot of their bunny, Nevaeh (that's "heaven" backwards).

Rooster crowing contest.  My favorite, the little man on the far left, was robbed of the title if you ask me.

Tater country

Not quite sure what this is exactly, but think it is very sweet.
