I took the above photo and following photos while on a visit to Baugher's Orchards and Farm located in Westminster, Maryland. They have a small petting zoo there and I got to see goats and some other farm type animals. Goats like to climb and the goats here had a boardwalk built above and around a good portion of the barnyard.

My first photo shows a goat on a small platform right above the entrance. One has to be extra careful when walking under an area when the goats are above you. I, honestly, don't know a whole lot about goats but I'm guessing that these goats aren't litter trained and will pretty much "go" where they please. Including from an area above. Luckily, there are only a couple of spots on the boardwalk that they could possibly get you from above but the entrance is .. well .. a spot that you have to walk under if you want to get into the petting zoo so I would suggest that you enter while the goats are not standing on that particular platform or walk under it very very quickly! 😉

Oh, these are so fun! I know exactly what petting farm you are talking about and there are a couple around here too. They're so much fun and I love the goats! I love all kinds of goats but especially baby goats!

As for the pictures oh, I really do like the monochrome, especially in the first shot as the Shadows play off the beauty of the white. Well done and good luck in the contest.

Thanks so much Denise!! I'm not surprised that you know right where this is..lol. I love to see the goats and all of the other animals but one of my favorites is the Sicilian donkey. I guess because when I was younger my sister lived right by a farm that had a horse and a couple of Sicilian donkeys and I used to visit them when I would visit her. The horse didn't come up for pets as much as the donkeys did. Fond memories! 💖

These animal photos turned out amazing in black and white! Almost missed this fine post! @deerjay

The spunky little goats are huge a hit with the children and it's always a treat to watch the "two-leggeds" and "four-leggeds" interact. So much enthusiasm!

If there are bottle feedings going on, it's best to go early in the morning before the baby goats are stuffed and their tummies bloated from drinking too much!🍼🐐

Hope you have an enjoyable rest of the week!💕

Thank you so much Nina!! I always love visiting the petting zoos! The time that I went was during the week so it wasn't crowded at all. It is adorable seeing the little ones interact with the other little ones. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!! 💕
