Pig day

Melbourne, Australia

Although celebrated in March I couldn't resist to put the picture I took of mother pig yesterday in this awareness gallery.
Pigs should have the right to live in a muddy paddock.
And she has such beautiful eye-lashes.

The purpose of Pig Day is "to accord the pig its rightful,
though generally unrecognized, place as one of man's most intellectual and domesticated animals”

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS
1/320s f/5.7 at 100.0mm iso320 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Pig in the mud where they love to lie. I think he's adorable. And yes, they are very intelligent. This is a fantastic photo of this happy hog. :) V.
