Camera Critters #187 - Barbados Donkey - November 5, 2011

While traveling around the beautiful Caribbean island of Barbados, I came
across this donkey, tied up and waiting patiently in the heat, for someone
to come along and pay attention to him.




I am participating in Camera Critters, #187 - put up your
favorite critter photo and join in the fun!

  7. The donkey is counting, "one, two, three, four, ...."

    There are visitors coming, and the sixth visitor is commenting.

    I doubt that people pass along that road very often...we were in search of the sugar cane growers that provide the cane for Mt. Gay rum, by favorite.

    That poor old donkey seemed so sad and lonely. He was glad to have company and gladly ate the apple we had in our box lunches!

    It was so hot there in Barbados, especially inland along those sugar cane fields. We were glad to get back to the beach!

    That poor donkey seemed so happy to have visitors. There wasn't anyone home at the house where he lived.


    Kate -
    Actually, our hotel had prepared box lunches for us as we all gave him our apples which he happily chomped.

    Most of the critters I saw in Barbados didn't look very well fed.

    The beautiful scene in my header is only about three miles from my home. I just love that spot. It is glorious when those daisies, which seed themselves every year, are in bloom.

  12. He does look a bit skinny, but clean and well cared-for. Poor old thing. Or maybe not so old.

  13. Hi Carmen,
    l'asino è un animale dolcissimo... ma questo animale è un peccato vederlo così mal nutrito !
    Buona serata.
