Free range Spanish pigs that enjoy a diet of foraged acorns. The Iberico ham is most famous but I discovered these baby back ribs which are exquisite. Cannot be prepared like ordinary ribs, they'll be ruined - no complex rubs, no sauce; just salt and pepper with a light sprinkling of garlic, jalapeño, and balsamic vinegar, then smoked for only two hours instead of the usual 4-5.
Ten years ago I saw them jump ditches for the first time in the Eempolders, I couldn't believe my eyes, but I was able to take a picture of it that you can see here (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/17051018457/in/album-...). I wasn't completely satisfied with the quality, my camera at the time couldn't do much better either, but since then I have made several failed attempts to achieve a better result.
Until about 4 weeks ago in the same Eempolders I saw a bunch of hormone-addled hares running after each other very close by. As everyone probably knows, you are a bit less careful under the influence of such aphrodisiacs, and you forget to look around you. So several ditches were jumped, and unfortunately I missed all the opportunities (I thought) because too far, wrong light, too late etc. etc.
But eventually one hare came strolling back and then I was in the right place, camera ready.
And when you see them jump you have to laugh. They are like springs, from a standing position they effortlessly jump over a ditch of about 4 meters wide. At a comparable size, Armand Duplantis would pale if a hare were allowed to participate. From a standing position over the obstacle, without a pole, and effortlessly jumping 8 meters high. Bob Beamon would not even put on his shoes anymore. If a hare participates, it jumps at full speed over the sand pit and probably ends up in the water pit of the steeple chase.
The title might be a little bit strange, but older people might know what I am referring to.
Another image from a productive day out to Nottingham visiting family this week.
DB Cargo Tug 60039 'Dove Holes' passes through the station and disappears east with the 12.20pm Toton Sidings - Boston Steel 'pig-pens' (6E02). Meantime, Cross Country unit 170114 stands at platform 4 after arriving with the 9.45am ex-Cardiff (1M60).
Bay platform 5 is to the near right, and currently empty. Once a through platform it was turned into a bay during the track modifications made a few years ago intended to increase the station's capacity.
I couldn't resist exploiting the shape and rippled texture of those 'pig-pen' wagons, and who knows how long they'll be around.
Apologies for the obscure title - those in the know will know, maybe.

When you visit this town you see plenty of pig statues everywhere. The locals believe that the name Schweinfurt came from a long time ago when wild pigs crossed the river. Some historians do not think this is correct but it is a good folklore story and it still continues today.

Usually there's a giant rat placed at these non-union construction sites but this one had a big inflated pig.

And a Minecraft pig celebrating in the dirt after all the rain we had recently gotten in Oklahoma.
Always remember, a cat looks down on man, a dog looks up to man, but a pig will look man right in the eye and see his equal.

There has been nothing but grey skies for the last couple of weeks so when a chink of sunlight came out late this afternoon, we headed out into the Forest. Phill was taking a picture of the Empress when she came up for a bit of a fuss.
The pig trough boat was once the working tool of the Mosuo people, traveling between the islands of Lugu Lake, traveling between water and land, fishing, fishing for shrimps, and collecting aquatic plants on the lake, also is love boat, countless sounds of love sing on the boat.
Free range pigs are released by the commoners throughout the forest during the period sept - oct .
This enables the animals to eat the many acorns and so allow less for the ponies to find as they can be poisonous to these animals

I am not sure what they are used for, too shallow for planters. I still want one.

Anita and I saw this fabulous creature near a Flea market located somewhere just off of route 11 in Virginia (USA). At first we couldn't decide what it was supposed to represent but finally agreed on pig due to the curly tail. LOL Hope everyone is having a fabulous day!
This is from the shore of Svínavatn which translates as the delightful sounding ´pig lake´. This lake is completly frozen over but the river still flows from it so there is the occasional loud rumble of ice moving and cracking.
Thanks for stopping, comments are much appreciated.
Always fascinates me the way that Warthog kneel in order to eat.
