'....and sit!!!'

Apologies for having been missing in action for so much of this month, but do you have any idea how long it takes to train a donkey to sit on demand? Hours, no days, no weeks I tell you.

OK, OK, so I haven't really been missing because of donkey training activities, but a combination of lack of time, inspiration and self-belief, together with some pretty dismal weather have conspired against me doing much other than the odd look at 365 for a couple of weeks.

So, I thought that I would take a few shots of my favourite subjects, the donks, to hopefully get me back in the swing of things. So here is a pic of Lilly getting up after a good old roll in the mud to get me started.

Aaaw this is priceless !!! Love your whimsical donk !! A big fat fav !! :0)

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Welcome back. This made me smile. Thank you.

[Jennifer]

Hehe, brilliant! Great expression. Hope you get back in the swing. We all have these peaks and troughs but this is a great one to come back with,

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Great to see you back with your fab shots Jan and this is no exception. Think we all have weeks when we feel the same, you wait, the snow will bring back a flurry of inspiration. Fav

[Pam Knowler]

This is brilliant!! What a wonderful capture!! Fav!!

[Louise]

A brilliant capture, this is great! Love the 'expression' and pose and the lights and colours are great too.

[Maggiemae]

Nice to see the donkeys back here! You can do a donk photo a day if you like!

[Judith Greenwood]

I love her - fav from me to get you back enthused!

[Cathy Donohoue]

Well done! So harder than a dog, I take it.

[Hazel]

Brilliant shot, priceless and so nice to see you back again.

[Pat Knowles]

This is so funny Jan....her pose is not showing her off to her best side....a bit like me when I get out of a car perhaps!!!! Lilly is looking very cute& nice to have some sun on her back!
So easy to get out of the 365 routine & I sometimes think after a slow few days when I haven't been very active, is it worth it but once I get into it again I do love it. I have missed your interesting shots & newsy chat.

[elkehochban]

Welcome back! I love the look on her face!

[Lisa]

I am supposed to be going to bed without looking at 365 tonight... but just had to comment on this shot!! Such a fab shot Jan, made me smile! If you can do this with a donkey just imagine what you could train a dog to do...
Welcome back! : ) FAV

[Lin]

Great capture - she looks like she enjoys having her photo made.

[Cathy]

Looks like all those weeks of training have paid off! This is just great!

[BeckyS]

So cute. If you don't smile when you see this shot, there is something wrong!

[bernadette mcelligott]

I needed that smile, thankyou.

[Leia Smith]

Love your donkey photo! Does he/she get a treat for sitting on command (like our dog)? :-)

[Sally Ings]

Such a classic pose! Great timing. Donkeys have the most amazing expressions

[JH]

I've missed the donks! And your waffle. Have another fav and come back! Your pics are so consistently amazing that you've set yourself a horribly high benchmark.

[Tremerryn]

Yay, welcome back - love this shot of your donk!

[ZambianLass]

Love this --- so cute, have to fav

[Sarah]

Cute shot! Love the donks!

[Issi Bannerman]

Beautiful!

[Padlock]

Great shot, thought I hadn't seen you recently. Agree weather is crap and the dark nights, but as you say take shots of things that mean things to you. Keep your chin up and keep clicking!!!

[dh (delena)]

Welcome back. I was wondering where you'd gone. This is funny. You can't go wrong with a donkey shot.

[Debra]

adorable.
