I am expecting lots of cats and dogs (particularly Tara’s gorgeous hound) this week. And had we been at home then it would almost certainly been my picture too. Either #Fatcat, Cheeky Dog, or Bob the grumpy cat. But since we are away I have been able to feature something else. And not something that I photographed, but that Ellie photographed when she went for a walk last week.
Our French Gite is at the end of a lane, and passes by some farm buildings, piles of logs and hay bales. And just before you reach our garden and the house there is a field with horses in it. One of them a very grumpy Shetland pony, the other a very friendly donkey.
We shall miss them when we have gone.
But not the horse flies. Have you ever seen a horse fly up close? They are terrifying.
And a bit too quick to photograph, thankfully.
Unlike this fella who seems to be rather enjoying the attention
And sugar lumps
And carrots
Fab photos. It must be so lovely to be spending that time relaxing in France, no wonder you’ll miss them when you go back home.
Fabulous photos. Who knew that shetland ponies could be grumpy! Just as well you had a donkey who was only too happy to pose.
Ah he looks very sweet and lovely to have near your Gite, have a wonderful rest of your holiday and watch out for those horse flies!
Oh I miss him 🙁 he was adorable xx
Awww what a cutie! Thanks for sharing his photo. Lovely to look at this afternoon =) #TheGallery
