Happy Sunday Evening!
I've been feeling so guilty that I'm not really at liberty to share
all the pics I shot this past weekend...
have to wait and see if they're published, after all....
So I took a second look and came up with two
really special shots that I snapped at the
really special shots that I snapped at the
Willow Nest photo shoot that aren't being submitted...hope you enjoy!
Gorgeous lavabo, found on Linda and Ludmil's front deck.
And then there's these two characters just over the fence....
Little miniature donkeys. What a hoot!
They stand there and schmooze until you feed them oatmeal cookies!
Now I simply MUST go out and buy me a
pair of Sicilian donkeys! Thanks, Ludmil! ;-)
Have a great week, my friends!
Those donkeys are the bee's knees! How sweet is that picture?!?!? Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteGood evening, Anne,
ReplyDeleteI love the donkeys too. I'll check back to see what's up tomorrow!! Have a marvelous Monday ~Natalie
This is such great news Anne, but with your skills I can't say I'm surprised! And that second shot is too darn cute, now I want a pair of donkeys too!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Kat :)
Grinning from ear to ear!! LOVE the donkeys!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh those donkeys are so cute!! Great shot of them! Oatmeal cookies, my fav too!!
ReplyDeleteAnne, no question that you need a pair of these for your new abode. My close friend (and a photographer) just purchased a pair of these charmers for her property. Oatmeal cookies? I'll have to pass that one along.

Anne, I stay at a place in Round Top where they raise miniature donkeys and I cannot tell you how many times I have almost come home with one, or two!! Glad you had a good weekend - dying to see pictures of the show!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I first met Linda and Ludmil when they set up at the Fredericksburg show a few years ago. What a lovely and talented couple. So glad you got to photograph them and that they are getting published. They are as kind and gracious and they are gifted!
ReplyDeleteThose donkeys are sooo adorable, I just want to pet those sweet noses..they would surely get oatmeal cookies from me!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos...and can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE your new camera! And all your wonderful photos (even though there are never enough for me to drool over!). Let us all know when we can run out and buy a copy of the magazine. So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteevery time i visit the hill country i come home wanting goats & donkeys....and to move to fredericksburg! thanks for sharing the photos, i love them. i know you had a good time! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThose donkeys are sweet!
ReplyDeleteI used to raise Miniature Horses and ponies. They would beg for those el-cheap-o sandwich cookies....vanilla/chocolate were their favorite!
Thanks for the memories..........
that would be me and Lisa, cheering you on!!!
ReplyDeleteXOXO, (i can make big ones too)

The lavabo is gorgeous, but I am in love with the donkey photo! That would make a wonderful greeting card or framed print to hang. They are adorable! Thanks for sharing!

Capers of the vintage vixens
great shots my friend!!
ReplyDeleteoh my , what big noses they have! :)
Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you're dream is coming true. Your photography is just so lovely (like you) and it makes me happy to look at it. Things have been rather tough here lately, so I'm not getting out as much as I'd like in Blogland. God Bless, and I wish you continued success with your gift of beautiful vision through a lens.
Big Hugs,
Meri
I found your blog this week-end...nice, nice, nice!♥
ReplyDeleteThose donkeys are PERFECT for a greeting card! Just think of the funniness they could inspire :) LOVE the shots PHOTOGRAPHER GIRL :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the lavabo with the blue whatevers in it. So Linda... And as for the donkeys... re-think that one. We have a donkey at the farm & he is such a pain. He wants you to pet him alllllllll the time. Will follow you around making such a racket. And my poor son had NO luck hunting since Jack decided to sit under his deer stand & wait for him to come down....
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the photos. Have a great week.

I am crazy for the donkeys! And still laughing at Lisa's post above with the X-game reference. Don't forget to pinch yourself once in awhile so you know it's real!

Silly Debra...I can't believe she didn't recognize me and Cat Daddy in that photo!
ReplyDeleteD
Anne, I have a little jenny donkey that my husband gave last year for Valentine's day.( He really did get points for this gift!) She has the sweetest deposition and has made a great companion to our old, old horse. (Around here people are trying to give donkeys away - I see ads every week for free donkeys in the sale papers!) So now I'm a big donkey fan! Love your blog! Never miss it.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed getting to see you again this weekend and visiting with you.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are fabulous, Anne. I can't wait to see your photos of Linda and Ludmil's in print!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you! SUCH AWESOME NEWS! I too LOVE love love those donkeys! Too cute they are! I have a Lavabo also, I bought it at the end of the season and haven't decided if I'm going to plant in it or have running water. I was leaning toward the water but now with your photo...oh I can't decide! GREAT photos! ...if you have a second, stop by I'm having a fun giveaway!~
ReplyDeleteYOU are my inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThese photos....goodness,
girlie Anne with an E....
really, really special.
I love it when good things
come to good, hard working,
dreaming, believing people.
Uh, that would be YOU : )
Happy Monday!

PS: I always sensed there
was something missing at
my house. Who knew it was
Sicilian donkeys???
Somkey and Lucky say Hell-o and please bring more cookies... David will be thrilled that his floral arrangement made the cut!!!! His first. Thanks for a fun time. Love Linda
ReplyDeleteI cannot get over those miniature donkeys! I grew up with horses so I'm a huge fan of all things 4 legged but those donkeys!! I wish I had the space! :-)
