Love your mule shots. Something about those ears.
One of the few things I don't like about blogger is that the posts and replies go by the wayside, nothing to bump them up. I wrote in another mule post about the animals that were taken away from a man who kept them out in the same area as these ones I take photos of.
I wouldn't take photos of the others, they were so malnourished, but someone did and the animals were taken away.
The people who owned these and the other mules were such nice people and he told me "Most of these animals belong to me or I take care of." referring to the horses, mules and donkeys out there. I meant to tell him that I could tell the ones he took care of; they were in decent to good to great health, all of 'em, and the other's care was nothing short of a sinful shame.
