Those fresh Maryland blue crabs I showed you yesterday? They were not the only highlight of the day. The boys of Morning Bray Farm provided the entertainment and, as usual, stole the show.
Bernard provided all the comic relief.
He is such a character! And he knows it and flaunts it, which makes you love him all the more.
If Morning Bray Farm were Saturday Night Live, Bernard would be John Belushi.
Ellsworth is the leading man, so very dignified...
...say nothing of handsome.
Not that Bernard isn't distinguished as well.
But his good looks are overshadowed by his bad-boy behavior.
Nigel is still trying to figure out his role. He wants to be a star like everybody else...
...but he still suffers from a bit of stage fright.
Now where does that leave Fergus? Like all good supporting actors, his role may have gone unnoticed but it was critical to advance the plot. Sorry, little buddy, you did such a good job of being my tripod that I wasn't ready for your close-up. Next time.
What a neat series of pictures and I laughed over your descriptions of the boys. Sounds like a wonderful time was had by all!
ReplyDeleteThanks for another glimpse into one our favorite herds of donks. Of course our other "equally so favorite" is your herd of fellas.
ReplyDeleteI so want a burro, I so want a burro...
What a great combo--great food, you and your camera and great models.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they were eager to show off.
I agree - Bernard is such a goober! And Ellsworth is absolutely leading man material...Sounds like ya'll had a great visit - and good food! I love me some blue crabs...
ReplyDeleteGood story, Carson and excellent photos. Wish I was there!
ReplyDeleteBest always, Sandra

ReplyDeleteThis is such a great follow-up to your repost about Ellsworth and Bernard. Ellsworth looks ever so much more healthy and happy. Thank you for showing us around.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea burros had such interesting and fun personalities until I began reading your blog. They are sooooooo cute.
ReplyDeleteThey look like a fun herd who will keep you amused all day long.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like they all have a beautiful place to live now! That makes my heart sing.... especially after seeing where they came from.... and, knowing how many more are still out there....
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place they have. Fortuneate animals.
ReplyDeleteLots and lots of great burro photos today! And it's so fun to read the post over at Morning Bray in addition to your own post - Carson at work, that's not something we see too often. Looking assertive there, the burro whisperer herself in action!
ReplyDeleteAww that Ellsworth looks so cool, I love his ears!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures Carson! My mom already has the fifth picture (of handsome Ellsworth) set as her desktop photo. Thanks for everything... we're so glad you were here. I'm dying to know if you got any good pictures of the princess and the toad... :)
ReplyDeleteCharacters...all of 'em.
ReplyDeleteOh my...as much as I love crab, the donkey boys totally would've stolen the show and taken the cake for me! What incredible shots. The ones of shy Nigel make me melt.
