escapees by jantan

escapees

Ten days ago the donkeys and goats escaped from their field. They were let out by somebody who was doing some work for us. That's never happened before.

Looked out of our kitchen window today to see a donkey in the middle of the lawn.

Never seen that before......

Our youngest son had accidentaly left the gate to our field open. Closer inspection of the garden revealed that all of the donkeys and the goats were in the garden. So what did I do?

Ran back to the house to get my "coat" (camera) - My god this project changes you!

Anyway, with a bit of skittishness and bucking on their part they went back to their field. I haven't done a proper inspection yet, but so far the only garden casualties have been the daffodils which are growing on the bank just outside their field.

Did you spot the black goat?
Hahaha... I love this picture, and your photographers reaction... No panic, just get the camera

Love this shot with all of the escapees. They are so cute. And I never would have seen the goat if you hadn't asked. Great shot

@markyl now there's a thought Mark....... but obviously if I had staged it I would have removed the hosepipe from the shot :0)

Yeah, that black goat looked like he was the ringleader in the hay thieves shot too. I should keep an eye on him....!!
