    The livestock in flight is so cute, Hugh! There was an old TV show in the 70s (Alice) that featured a diner. The waitress, Polly Holliday, always quipped, “When donkeys fly!” Cracked me up…but I don’t see a donkey in your image. I guess when they added the sheep and cows to the farmers market, and someone asked if they would add other kinds, someone said, “When donkeys fly!” ;)

      I’ve never heard of the saying ‘when donkeys fly’, Terri. But I have heard of the saying ‘pigs might fly’, which refers to a sarcastic remark used to indicate that an event is very unlikely and/or to question the credulity of someone. I wonder if ‘When donkeys fly’ means the same thing? I think it may.

      Glad you think these animal images are cute. You can’t help but look up when walking into the market hall where I found them.

        Yes, they mean the same thing, Hugh. Both sayings are funny!

          I remember my mother saying, ‘Is that a flying pig just gone past the window?’ after a response to her question ‘Have you finished your homework, Hugh?’ while I sat watching TV after school.

      Well, I did hear about the cow that jumped over the moon, but nothing about flying sheep, yet. But who knows.

    This made me smile! There was a year when an artist crafted cows for various businesses in Durham (for example a cow with a crutch and a cast outside of an orthopedic hospital). They are still around and I love checking up on them!

      I’ve seen similar outside businesses, although they only tends to last a season before being auctioned off for charity.

      Here’s another I(although not Wordless)

    Outstanding! I immediately looked for the moon …. It must have been daytime so no moon. Farmers markets are awesome for this type of creative scenery, Love it.

      Thank you. No cat or fiddle either, but all the other farmyard animals made me smile. Thank goodness I looked up.

    I have an Etsy shop called When Pigs Fly Creations. If you ever read Mary Brown books then you’ll know flying pigs too.

      Mary Brown isn’t an author I know, Jennifer. But after seeing these animals, I now believe that pigs can fly.

      I agree. Although the farmers’ market only takes place on Tuesday, but the animals stay there all week.

    Feel like this picture could have done with words – figured it must be a farm themed event or Farmers market which the other comments confirmed 😄

      Wordless Wednesday is the perfect day for readers to ask questions, James.

      Yes, this is an indoor market which has a farmers’ market every Tuesday. But the animals stay up all week.

    Haha, very appropriate for someone living in a cow. :-) I bet each time we pass through a small village or indigenous town here, our cow is not something they see every day either.

    It’s not often that people look up when they visit places or go about their way. I bet they did here!

      You can not help but look up when walking into this indoor market, Liesbet. I’ve never seen anything like this before, so I was very amused when I saw all those flying farm animals.

    They’re not real, right? 😅 Where was this taken? I’m guessing this is a market place or a shopping center? 😂

      I think they were cardboard cutouts, but could be made of metal.

      Taken inside Abergavenny Indoor market. On Tuesday’s it’s a framers’ market, but the animals are there all week.

      It was quite the shock seeing them there as I walked into the market. I never believed pigs could fly. But now I do.
