kelly,
photo was taken earlier today near our illinois home. there is a place where the people raise sicilian donkeys a bit north of us. i have often seen them kicking each other in some rather wild fights. today i turned the corner heading past their pasture to a wildlife park and another guy hopped out of his car to feed them carrots. i got out and took quite a few shots. they are really beautiful animals. the cross on their backs bears spectacular significance to the christian and i have always been interested in them. oh yeah and btw if a donkey could talk i think it would sound exactly like eddie murphy in shrek.
God bless.

Being of such Italian heritage - I claim delight in the beauty of this enduring species.

Quindi, in modo piacevole ...Bello come un $ 1500 Siciliano Ciuchino!

LOL - I'll think of Eddie Murphy every time I see a donkey now!. Didn't know that about the cross on their back. Lovely pic.

I love those handsome donkeys. Once I conquered one by offering him strawberry chewing gum. He followed me everywhere. :)

Handsome is right - they have beautiful faces, and you took a great photo of them!

I used to own some miniature Sicilian donkeys. They are docile, patient, calm, intelligent animals. Your photo makes me miss them just a little less.
