Back before digital cameras were invented and we only used film, we would have to wait days to get our photos back, only to find that they looked like these, all perwhacky.

Longhorn treats. You feed her. I’m fine where I am, thank you.

And we’d throw them away, right?

Now that I have a digital camera, I take these types of photos on purpose! Go figure.

Photos are from our visit to Cripple Creek Critters in Paige, Texas.

Judy and I went on a field trip to visit Cripple Creek Critters in Paige, Texas, where they breed registered miniature Mediterranean donkeys.

Two to tango?

Big ears and tiny hooves. And just as cute as can be.

The other donkeys were curious; watching to see if Magellan got any treats.
