Nose wars

(Piglet bonding) Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!!!!!!!!!!

The necessary stuff:
- Nevada County Faire, Nevada County, California
- Nikon D80, with 70-300 telephoto lens, focal length of 270; MANUAL, ISO 320. F: 5.6; 1/40, and Photoshot Elements 3 for resizing and cropping
- Not sure of their gender.
- The pink part is their skin/hide.
- There is no actual anger depicted in this shot and no piglets were harmed in the shooting of this image. (They were nudging each other out of the way for food, i guess)
- Yes, their sneer does look a bit like Elvis’s sneer but this is not Elvis – in fact, neither one is to the best of my knowledge.
- Mom was right there and approved of this picture of her under-aged piggies.

    Thank you very much, Elaine! Now, if they’d just stay that way forever cuz 300+ pounds of ‘ham on the hoof’ ain’t gorgeous at all. Trust me. LOL!

    Woo hoo! A new group for me (thanks to someone’s kind suggestion). If I wasn’t fond of goats, I’d be fond of baby pigs. But being a city boy, being fond of more than one farm animal just breaks your heart twice since I can’t have them wandering about in my apartment, :-)

    Thanks much! It was the best shot of the piglets, tho I fudged their intent a bit. (At least I think I did….)

    LOL a bit funny to think of them in an apartment ! Your landlord wouldn’t be very happy about that…or your neighbors either. made me smile ! Ü

    PotBelly pigs were all the rage here for a while and they were no bigger than some of the dogs in my complex. And did you know they can be trained to use the toilet when they have to… “go”? Well, pigs in general can so I suppose the P-Bellys can too if you either give them a ladder or a (human) baby’s training potty. How in the world someone gets a pig to do that is beyond me. Thankfully.

    The eyes just slay me. :-D I’m not sure what the significance of having nose wars is but different sets would do them over and over again. LOL!
