Now, for something different

In honor of the new year
52 photographs

A more or less random compilation of photos, most of which I haven't posted on the blogs. They aren't my best, however some are interesting or pretty to (click to enlarge) look at, and all can be used by anyone as screen savers. They are all taken near where I lived in Middleboro, Massachusetts. Some are in Boston, the Cape Cod Canal, and on Care Cod.

More goats at Willamette View

Eating their favorite delicacy, blackberries, for yet another day. On the banks of the muddy Willamette River in Portland Oregon, 20 goats make fast work converting a tangle of prickly blackberry bushes to organic fertilizer.

Every goat has a name. I rather doubt there's a "Billy," or even a "Gruff." I'll have to ask the Goat Girl

Goat Girl by Tanya Donelly
See my child, my past
Hoping yours is a blast
I park my heart in your driveway
Now I'm healin' hell
I wanted a lion but I ended up with a man
Who wanted a gazelle
But I am a goat girl, I am a goat girl
I am a goat girl, I am a goat girl
And I do my brutish best
See my child, my past
Hoping yours will last
I park my heart in your driveway
Now I'm healin' hell
I wanted a lion but I ended up with a man
Who wanted a gazelle
But I am a goat girl, I am a goat girl
I am goat girl, I am a goat girl
I am a goat girl, I am a goat girl
Thinkin' goatish thoughts
Dreamin' goatish dreams
Diggin' up tin cans
Chewin' on your sleeve
And I do my brutish best

DONELLY, TANYA
