I met Charlie and friends in May on a drive through the remote Clay County, Indiana, countryside. Charlie’s the mule (in the center) without the jackass attitude. He was quite curious, allowing me time to get a couple of good photos. Big Dan the Clydesdale, on the other hand, was a real horse’s ass during the whole visit.
I learned their names when the rancher stepped out on his veranda (thankfully without his rifle) and yelled, “I charge a quarter a picture.”
Photo of the Week series: Every Sunday in 2012 I will either share a photo from my archives or something new I just can’t wait to get feedback on for future art shows/exhibits.
Blogger participation: My hope is to receive enough input on each week’s photo to later post a Bloggers’ Choice of the Month and wrap up 2012 with a Bloggers’ Choice of the Year.

Loved the photos….specially the first…
Thanks, bulldog! Have missed you. Just returned from vacation. Hope to catch up with you and others soon!
love your photos too! and the one from Big Dan grazing I think I like best
Thanks, Joanna. I tried to get Big Dan to look up but he would not oblige.
What beautiful animals
Yes, Karen. I can’t take all the credit on this one! Charlie was so friendly; the smaller horses played hard to get; Big Dan was a handsome piece of horse flesh (and I think he knew it, ha!).
Horses! I love them! I love the first picture best! 🙂
Thank you Preety! They are handsome animals!
