Hairy legs

A contribution to Smurfie's Freaking Friday Theme: legs.

Here the hairy donkey at Ile de Ré in France. This donkey does have a really bad hair day throughout the whole summer, poor animal. Took this image near St. Martin de Ré while Corinne (Coquelicot79) kept me company during my short stay in France.

Anybody complaining about her/his (but mostly her) hairy, legs or poor clothing? Well watch this adoring animal and see what difference does it make with you :-)

My weekend has started yet.....hope yours too!

selam dear Hans...
bunu önce bir hamama, sonra berbere götürmek lazım, bakımsızlıktan ne hale gelmiş eşek...
selamlar

This guy badly needs a haircut .. hard to tell if he's a hippie or a rasta donkey.
He's either covered in dreadlocks or what we Kiwis call daggs.
Hard case shot Hans.
Pretty cool!
Cheers

Bonjour Hans,

Il est bien joli ce petit âne avec son long pelage, on a du mal à distinguer ses pattes mais il est charmant!!!

Oh the poor Donkey, he must be suffering with all this lot on him/her... I think all the woman here will be thinking of this next time they shave/wax their legs Hansie..lol..

Excellent choice for the theme, my friend.

Oh cant get over that matted hair on the back!!!

Cheers
Dawn

At first glance at the thumbnail I thought this was a Heilan' Coo!

Nicely spotted and captured, Big Man - but curious about the f11? This is an interesting photo, I keep coming back for another look.

i want to cut the hair of this donkey so bad, Hans.. a lovely finding and suit well with this week theme.. remind me of the Puli dog.. tfs..

regards, terry

Hi Hans

Fantastic capture of the hairy beast! Perfect dof /sharpness, & plenty of space at right, for it to 'move' into. Well done!

Very good donkey picture, but I feel not happy, when I see this long hair and certainly he suffers very much in the summer.

This is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
I love all the colours
Great POV

Hello Hansie

Aww bless what a lovely shot, really cute POV but those legs definatly need waxing lol. Nice sharp clear detail and neat framing too

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

An interesting looking specimen Hans and now I am wondering if it is naturally like this or not been looked after properly. A good submission to the theme,
David

well yes, our donkeys of poitou are hairy, this is a very special race that nearly disappear from our country. We shouldn't brush or mow their fur will fall gradually, it's natural for them.
They are donkeys "Rasta", Bob Marley, their idol.
But where are their legs under this thick fleece, very good portrait this race so special donkeys, a good way to make them known.
Good evening my friend, good weekend, relaxing for you, I hope. See you soon, your friend
