These are two babies that I photographed at a friends place. They are not tame so you have to be very quiet and still to get close. I believe they were three and four weeks old at the time. Aren't they cute!

I don't think cute sums it up on these guys, they are absolutely precious! Great shots. I have never seen one with a big white splotch on its forehead like that, way too big to be a star? Do you know, will it stay like that or will it change once the baby hair is blown? Too bad they weren't friendly I imagine you were itching to get your hands on them!

They are adorable!! Are they twins? Or just two foals?

Thanks Dee Dee, I would love to get my hands on them!! The owners are trying to tame them. They have 3 ginny's and the two foals. I have not seen them in a month or so, so I don't know if she still has the big white face.I plan on going back when the weather cools off some. We have had triple digit temps for over a week now.

Julie, they are not sisters...the smaller one is the older by about 10 days.

My first reaction is I want one! They are darling. Can't wait to see more.

Hey Emmy,

Great shots! I never thought I would be calling a donkey cute - but they sure as heck are.

Well done.
