Donkeys are the most misunderstood and abused animals around the world. -Bonnie Jo Campbell
Thanks for your visit and comments, much appreciated!🙋♀️
This darling donkey lives down the road from where we spend our vacation time in Cumbria. I discovered that the family who owns these donkeys has rescued them and given them a "forever home".
Further research led me to a charity that rescues donkeys in the UK, called The Donkey Sanctuary
I am so impressed with what these people and the individuals who provide homes do to care for these animals.

Burlington Northern GE C30-7 No. 5554 passes a sister locomotive on another coal empty on a siding just east of Donkey Creek on May 29, 1998. Empty coal trains are frequently staged here waiting to head south on the Orin Line for loading, when the mine is ready for them. Later, BNSF even built a new yard at this location for the same purpose.
We also have 2 donkeys who live in our neighborhood park. The neighborhood shares the expenses of their "room and board", in a small field that abuts the park. They are very glad to interact with people who walk up to their fence. Volunteers take them for walks in the park.
Nearby the old gnarly tree was a field with a number of Donkeys and Horses. Here's a pretty little donkey up to it's chest in Buttercups! It's been a great year for Buttercups, it seems!
These lovely donkeys have arrived in the field I walk past most days.

Seen on my recent trip to Weymouth, these beautiful creatures were giving rides to children on the beach. They were in fantastic condition, well shod and obviously well loved by both the owner and the children.
Donkeys have been used as beasts of burden for thousands of years and are still a frequent sight pulling carts and carrying heavy loads in Senegal, West Africa. These two donkeys, with a distinctive black stripe from the shoulders, are seen taking a well-earned break.
Someone thinks of entertaining the donkeys with a Sony TV that he kindly dumped near their pen. He does not know that donkeys do not have time to watch television and that if they would had hands they would be able to get rid of the television in a more rational and less polluting way.
The desert sun shines bright, yet morning's still cool,
Donkeys gather by the watering pool.
All at the same time, they drink their fill,
Seeking shade when the sun's too shrill.
Donkeys are used for carrying heavy stuff around in Moulay Idriss as most of the small alleys aren't accessible by car.
“Look you guys! Don’t you see that lady over there with that funny big eye? What is she up too?”
I ran out of fence pictures, so I had to go back into the archives and pick an old one. Here, I am attempting to take pictures of goats and a donkey! I could only get one to look at me. Apparently the grass was extra juicy! They did get interested when I was leaving though. I admire the patience of those of you who photograph animals and birds.
I don’t have to get houses to pose or stand still, so I’ll stick to that.
Happy Weekend my friends!
