Donkey day and gorgeous views...


Not only did we get to meet old friends plus see donkeys and mules the other day, but we also got to enjoy the gorgeous views in Devon near the edge of Dartmoor.  Although the weather was overcast, it didn't spoil our day.

Overcast or not, looks like you could still see for miles. And the sweet, little fella with the garland, what is his red ribbon for?

Hi Y'all!

They make such great pets and great riding "horses" too. Much safer than a horse once properly trained.

Y'all come on by,

He had been to the church, not in the church, but was waiting outside. When folks had finished the service, he greeted them, and they were thrilled to see him.

ann @ studiohyde said...

Yes, they are amazing animals and so intelligent :-)

Such beautiful photos! Loved seeing the scenery but also the donkeys. I once had the opportunity to take photos of the donkeys on a ranch right off the freeway. Poor donkeys near all that noise from cars and exhaust smells - but they didn't seem to mind.

ann @ studiohyde said...

Thanks Sandy. Did you paint any of the donkeys you photographed?

I remember your previous posts about the Devon donkey sanctuary and I noted on my calendar the open days of the Donkey sanctuary near here. They don't open to the public until later in May, so I'm hoping to take a trip out there with the gradchildren one day this summer.

That will make a good day out with the grands, they'll love it. Donkey's are gentle creatures and loves attention. When you go there, do take pics of the donks, I'd love to see them.
