Anne, of Something Over Tea, in today’s post World Donkey Day 2025 enjoined us to honour a donkey today.
Here are just a few of the 455 images that I am honoured to feature scattered among my posts.
I read more of ‘Anglo Saxon England this afternoon.
Early this evening I was visited by a representative of Hampshire Police following up my recent ransomware experience, which will be added to their information. The policeman was very helpful and encouraging, gave me good advice, and left me useful reading material.
Later this evening we dined on baked gammon with a mustard sauce; new potatoes, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower, with which Jackie drank more of the rosé and I drank Washington State Limited Edition Merlot 2022, with which we toasted our American friends.
That’s a lot of donkey photos, Derrick! great photos!
Thank you very much, John
You’re welcome! ☺️
I love your donkey photos–I can’t pick a favorite!
I’m glad the police are following up.
Thank you very much, Merril
You are surrounded by donkeys. Great pics.
Thanks very much, Peggy
Good donkey day tribute.
I am pleased to find that the police took your criminal assault seriously. Just because it was digital shouldn’t make a difference.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
Love the donkey pictures, Derrick.
I thought you might, Pat XX Thanks very much
That’s a lot of donkey photos and probably of many generations of donkeys.
Thanks very much, Chrissy
It’s good that the police are following up on your ransomware experience.
Thank you very much, Rosaliene
Delightful, and Yeah to World Donkey Day, Derrick 🌏
What a delightful tribute to World Donkey Day, Derrick! They are lovable members of the equine world, and have shouldered more than share of mankind’s load. I think I recognize some of the photos are being your own children. Is the littlest human on the rocker Elowen?
Yes, Ellen, Lavinia. Sam and Matthew are the other two. Thank you very much
I love all the donkey photos. It looks as if Jackie is a donkey whisperer?
She was on that day, Liz. Thank you very much
You’re welcome, Derrick.
I love this! The shaggy ones are my favorites. Maybe one day, I’ll get to know a donkey in person. Until then, I’ll continue to enjoy your photos. That eye close up is superb!
Thank you so much, JoAnna
What a beautiful tribute to such gentle, often underappreciated animals. There’s something so soulful about donkeys—their quiet strength and calm presence. Your words and photos really capture that essence. Thank you for reminding us to see the grace in the humble.
Thank you very much, Tate
Sweetness! ꨄ
Thank you very much, Cindy
You have a good police service. Ours is very corrupt, sadly. Wonderful donkeys. I love the baby.
Thank you so much, Robbie
I am a great lover of donkeys. They are sad, stubborn and resilient of everything that man throws at them. Thank you for the photographs Derrick.
Much appreciated, John
Lovely. Hope you digital work/information is safe.
Thank you very much, Rupali
Lovely tribute! Yay! World Donkey Day! I love donkeys! 🙂
I studied about donkeys years ago…I learned that donkey’s are not stubborn so much as they are very intelligent and have great memories. Their IQs are analogous to human IQ 100. So if they are balking, for example, and not wanting to move forward…it’s not stubbornness, it’s that something is something wrong up ahead and they are trying to communicate that.
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️
A useful addition to the post, Carolyn. Thank you very much, XX
You have certainly honoured donkeys with this varied selection of photographs! Thank you too for mentioning my contribution 🙂
Much appreciated, Anne
455 images of donkeys? Ransomware? I’ve obviously not been keeping up. Hope it all goes well.
