They actually do this to real donkeys in Mexico. Very sad actually. So....where exactly in your yard would you put something like this.....

My daughter started collecting a series of porcelain (ceramic maybe) painted ponies a few years ago. The series is called "The trail of the painted ponies". Artists from around the world contribute to the series, and collectors vie for the ones that are retiring. It can get expensive keeping up, but at least I know what to buy her for birthdays and Christmas.

This reminds me of the "Party Animals" they had a few years ago.  There were decorated donkeys and elephants that were displayed in public places then auctioned off to raise money for local charities.

Thank you everyone for your comments and this is not a real donkey, I think it is made from wood. It is a very large donkey and this photograph was taken in Lincoln New Mexico.

VB ;o)

Robert - Toronto has more than it's share of moose ... perhaps Sylvie can be encouraged to do a moose post

Hey Kathy - the whole time i was in Toronto I only saw two of those "Moose" - one at the CN Tower and the other enroute to Niagara.........where are the rest!  I did a post on Orcas in Vancouver - cool how every city has something!

This little donkey just sends me right over the "I love Mexico" cliff. Had to comment.

And BTW Bob, visually, you are everything I want Las Vegas to look like :)

I'm just sayin'

Namaste!
