Collecting eggs in the Hickory Nut Gap Farm henhouse. The chickens were very inquisitive - one even jumped onto my arm as I was taking the shots and decided it liked the vantage point.

One lunchtime at the Flying Cloud organic farm proved to be a little more special than normal, as it was Larry's birthday...
