Photo Shoot Extras

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
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!

  6. Anne, 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.

  7. 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!!

  8. P.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!

  23. Hi Anne,

    I'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

  26. LOVE 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....
    Can't wait to see the photos. Have a great week.

  47. 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.
