I say “Twenty ten,” by the way, if anyone is wondering. I saw an article about “Twenty ten” versus “Two thousand ten” or “Two thousand and ten,” and the faux-debate made no sense. What’s the most important Strunk and White rule? “Omit needless words.” Twenty ten.
My school projects have been whittled down to thesis work and one class, so of course that means I’m procrastinating. I drove around in search of random small town photo opportunities the other day, and my favorite discovery was a yard full of donkeys. Well, there were three of them, and when you don’t see many donkeys in your travels that qualifies as a “yard full.” One donkey was friendly and ran over to meet me at the fence. Another started off friendly, got spooked by my camera, then came over anyway. The third sat across the yard and never moved. They had such soft fur and expressive faces…they looked like big stuffed animals. For some reason I feel better for having met these three.

Was this out towards Yemassee? Or was it from somewhere else? They have 3 donkeys in Yemassee. Kind of between Sheldon Church and the Le Creuset outlet…. don’t ask how I know that, I just do.
Good call! It’s right near Harold’s…I was out there to take some pics of Sheldon Church and whatever else turned up.
There not a whole lot else to see out there, — although it is one of my favorite places. I’ll have to look for the donkeys now.
Funny — we live next to a canal (dry now) here in Ouaga, where people actually bring donkeys to feed, so we see some almost every day!
There is a lot to see out there! I found a lot of interesting abandoned buildings, that maybe weren’t so abandoned. Kind of spooky.
Robin — that’s like Nashville, only it’s people bringing C&W songwriters out for an occasional feeding, then taking them back to their hidey holes.
