We visited the Scottish Games in Forest Park, yesterday. Predictably, I was interested in the sheep and shepherding.
Shetland Sheep in Multiple Colors
"Keep that wolf away from us!"
"Is he still back there? Go with the man..."
"Run away! Run away!"
Less predictably, they gave bird of prey demonstrations. The bald eagle was impressive, flying in from above to land on the glove.
"Brace yourself. I'm coming in."
"Flaps down. Landing gear out."
"Where's my treat?"
It is amazing to get this close to the birds
The hawk approached from below the glove...
...and enjoyed his treat.
"Scottish Games" apparently include golf
One of the weaponry demonstrators fitted Mitchell with a helmet
"How do you hold your head up in these things?"
"Can Momma knit me one of these?"
"Oh, the sweet smell of haggis!"
"No, I don't want to try the chain mail."
"Yes, I'm a Scotsman!"
Life is sweet!
