Personal Cow


What if you like living out in the country, with pasture land around your property and liked the idea of having some livestock without the hassle of feeding or milking them? Well, get your own personal stand-in cow.

I saw this fiberglass cow next to someone's house, just standing out in the field. This way you can have your cow and never have that, "Down Home Smell", if you know what I mean.

Robo Moose


Bennington, VT - I saw this moose by the side of the road while on my way up to Rutland so of course I had to stop and take a photo. This was the most unusual moose I've seen. Most are painted but this one is made of sheet metal, riveted on. There were also blinking lights coming from inside him. The artist's name is Brad Turner.
