the audience by jantan

the audience

I walked around the perimeter of our land this morning to check the fences following yesterday's nightmare with the hunt rampaging through our fields - fortunately not too much damage.

At one point I looked up to discover that i had attracted an audience.

It was a bit of a surprise because 20 minutes earlier I had left them 200 yards away at the bottom of the hill eating their morning hay, and I assumed that they were still there.
What sweeties, they're making sure you're ok.

The whole hunt thing sounded teriible Jan :( Love this photo of your donkeys keeping a watch on you :)
February 16th, 2012  
Love it. Fabulous composition with the diagonal line.

This makes me think of that saying "Every picture tells a story." This picture could tell one heck of a story, that's for sure! So glad that all is well!

Oh how lovely, I feel like this is an advertising poster for some wonderful film about animals being clever and saving the world.. ok a bit strong, but you know the ones I mean??
February 16th, 2012  
this is a fantastic photo, you are so lucky to have such fab donks to photograph x
February 16th, 2012  
This is fantastic. What a crew! Great composition!
February 16th, 2012  
Some of the best photos are the unplanned ones.
February 16th, 2012  
Great surreal composition with the donkeys and that random goat!
February 16th, 2012  
Haha - great moment!

@jackiew Yes Jackie, that is Cashew the pygmy goat (although I am seriously beginning to think that he thinks he is a donkey)
February 16th, 2012  
@jlhopgood Sort of Jo, I foster them for the Donkey Sanctuary (not the goats.... obviously.....)
February 16th, 2012  
@islawight Yes it is a bit surreal isn't it. That is Cashew, I love the way in this shot his horns give him a similar outline to the donks. Did you spot his friend Cory (my nemesis) behind the fence post?
February 16th, 2012  
@jantan - ah no I didn't - cunning camouflaged goat.
February 16th, 2012  
i really like this... something about how they are all lined up, standing and facing and looking the same way... (ok - it's a bit spooky in a way - but it makes for a wonderful picture!)
February 17th, 2012  
Wow. Great Picture.. There is even a goat..
February 17th, 2012  
Great shot Jan, everything is good about this photo, even the sky is playing it's part.. You should have an exhibition of donkey photos...
February 17th, 2012  
I love donkeys. They are so curious and yet so individually minded. Great to see so many!
February 17th, 2012  
This is great - I love the perspective - so unusual.
