Good friends are hard to find:-)

Posted by Linerberry (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 3 October 2008 in Animal & Insect.

This is my 100th post on AM3:-)) Thank you to all my friends out there for your visits and comments and for your constant support. I have had real fun getting to know you all and following your blogs. You are a splendid bunch of photography lovers and I'm honoured to be a part of that!!!
May the fun continue for a hundred more:-)))
Thank you once again my friends X

These 2 lovely creatures I see everytime I walk over the hill. As far as I know there is a lady who lives on the hill looking over the sea and she has taken to adopting donkeys...I have only seen 3 of them. They run free and graze on her land and the footpath takes you through her pasture. These 2 this day were just so full of fun... They were inseparable and I stood and watched as they played, it was a lovely sight:-))

Don't forget****** "Silly Tuesday" ******where you can post anything that is silly, funny, daft or just makes you laugh!!!
For those of you that don't know the origin of Silly Tuesday here is a bit if a run down....It started on this day. My thoughts were as follows......
Monday is the start of the week...
Wednesday is the middle of the week.....
Thursday is nearly Friday and Friday is the start of the weekend:-)
I know some people work weekends as I am one of them:-)
But its still the weekend BUT......
What is Tuesday???? Its just a Silly Day that means nothing....so thats where ST came from:-)
Join in the Silliness:-)
Love Silly Mama:-)

If you post on ST then leave a link on my page then others get to see your silliness:-)

100 posts is quite an achievement Liners, well done! What a pair of cuties! The one on the left is whispering into the ear of the one on the right, quite possibly saying "dont look now, but we are about to have our pictures taken!"
Looking forward to the next 100!

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

That really is a lovely sight, and that's how it should be. I hate to see donkeys overloaded and made to carry heavy loads. I hate to see Bears being made to perform tricks, or any animal caged. These donkeys are enjoying their freedom.

Lovely shot.

@Observing: My thoughts exactly Mike:-) It was a lovely sight to see:-)
