Sheep shearing at the Del Mar Fair

San Diego is such a big urban city I sometimes forget about all things rural.  Once a year I revisit those memories by going to the Del Mar Fair and watching the kids with their animals.  Sheep shearing is pretty tricky and certainly a family affair.   The 2009 edition starts June 12, 2009.

The garden displays at the fair are always creative.  This display creates a scene from summers long ago.
