Here are some pictures of some animals that have showed me their personalities.



Brian's family raises minature donkeys. Every year we go to the State Fair and root for the family. This is Daisy...the one standard sized donkey they have. She is about to be judged in the show ring.



This is Daisy after she won the Blue Ribbon. Who wouldn't love that smile...she winked at the judge to get First Place.



I love this shot of the squirrel in the bird feeder. He was very persistent as he kept sliding down the pole. He finally made it by jumping from a nearby tree.



Brian took this picture. Check out the tongue. He was after my my muffin!



While I had a buffalo in my window....He was begging in Brian's window!

Hope you enjoyed them!

These are great

You don't look particularly scared of that buffalo

My favorite is the zebra. Those leaves in the background right under his mouth make him look a little buck-toothed....

Enjoyed them,
Scott

Cool pics but I hope you are aware of how dangerous the situation with the bison was. You were at extreme risk.

The buffalo was in a wildlife refuge park in San Antonio. You buy food and drive through the park. The animals come up to the car for the food. This buffalo was young and tame because it had been hand fed for so long. There were a lot of animals that wouldn't come up to the car though. I think it was about as safe as dealing with a buffalo could be. I would never approach or coax one in the wild though. I do know better than that.

I kind of figured that was some type of park Linda. You were still in a very dangerous situation. Regardless of the "tameness" of the animal it is not a domesticated animal. You were locked into a very confined space and had that young, "tame" animal become frustrated by not being able to reach what he was reaching for it would have been very possible that he toss his head and you could very well have been seriously hurt or killed.
I was raised around livestock all my younger days and, even with those domesticated animals, have been hurt from head tossing and other sudden movements by the animal either moving from frustration, trying to shake off flies, having a tic, and any number of other things, and that while not being in a closely confined area.

Daisy is my favorite! I think it's hilarious when animals have such great personalities. I had a horse once that had a very flamboyant personality....naturally we called her Princess...lol.

Great pics!!!

Whoa, Linda! You were really up close and personal with that buffalo. I was not aware that buffalos like muffins. Great shots.

Darling pictures, Linda. LOL. I have to get used to your new last name.

Thanks Jean...I'm still getting used to it too:)

That Buffalo was eating a muffin baked for us by Susan Gibson, the writer of "Wide Open Spaces." It seemed appropriate! = )
