This week wasn’t all about Cowichan Valley water buffalo as I spent a considerable amount of time photographing birds and some of the local farm animals. The winter brings Trumpeter Swans by the hundreds to the valley. While driving around you see these beautiful birds in the fields and lakes of the area. Alpacas are a popular farm animal in the area. This young fellow lives at a very picturesque farm on Koksilah Road south of Duncan. I made my weekly pilgrimage to the Cowichan Valley this weekend to photograph some water buffalo and Cowichan sweaters. More on the Cowichan sweaters later. These water buffalo live at Fairburn Farm, lovingly cared for by Darrel and Anthea Archer. Canada’s first herd of water buffalo, these animals (and the Archers) are responsible for production of milk, cheeses and yoghurt. It’s all very cool and the buffalo are like giant affectionate cats. Other animals were photographed as well, take a look. And a few small guys.  |
