Our friends not only have miniature horses, they also raise miniature donkeys. This little guy was born early this morning and is even tinier than the horse colt.

and I’ve got nothing to say or share. Come back tomorrow, maybe a creative streak will strike!

I know and I agree with you, she is unbelievably beautiful!

This dove better learn better hiding techniques before the first of September cause it won’t be a camera aimed at her then. I hate that too even though I grew up in a family of hunters and I’m married to one. I am glad to say my hunter has mellowed some as he’s gotten older and it won’t be his gun pointed at her when the season opens!

14 days have passed and the kittens now have their eyes open, but are not yet playful. I’m sure by this time next Sunday, they will be more mobile. I’m looking forward to photographing them when they are not in a pile.

I felt just like this windmill today.

Let me explain… moving hay all day makes you feel as if you are going round and round in circles and not managing to go anywhere. In truth, you are actually accomplishing something, but the monotony of the same round trip does tend to “get to you” after awhile. The best thing about all that circling is the fact that we are finished, done, ALL THROUGH moving hay for the year until it is time to start feeding. Hopefully, that won’t be until late this fall or early winter. We still have plenty of grass. It’s green, it’s lush and totally not normal for August, but I am not complaining! Just to remind you (and myself) what it was like last summer, go read this post from last July.

255 definitely was a challenge! I managed to create a flying saucer with aliens provided by rennysniche.com, a funky globe and a traffic light of all things. Can you spot the challenge object in each one?

The miniature colt is now one month old and still living up to his name! Babe, his mom, takes very good care of him. When she decided I was too close taking photos, she got between us, but was too late, I got a very good one of him from behind.

Lynne informs me I need to stop posting cute pictures cause the urge to get a four-legged creature increases. I thought I had better warn her not to look. And Lynne? To help you decide against getting a pet, they do grow up and wreak all kinds of havoc… in your home as well as your heart! But, if you’re serious, I’ll work on determining the best way to get the black kitten to New York!
