Most of this hike is through rural Ohio, on back roads. Not everyone is a farmer, but there are still plenty of places to see some handsome farm animals. I have yet to capture what I really consider a pastoral scene, but this one isn't too bad.

These three handsome donkeys were so friendly that they came to the fence and wanted their noses petted.

And I've seen quite a few horses. But this one agreed to help me make a very pretty picture, so it's the winner!

i agree, that last one is a winner! i love the action that you captured!
Yes, the last picture of the horse is just beautiful. Harmony in nature!
I have been a city gal all my life but would one day love to experience rural living. The horse is gorgeous.
Great shots! I am a rural living gal. My village in Cyprus is very rural and I love it.
That is a really nice post with great pictures. I just am totally in love with donkeys- they are so cute looking! The horse is a great picture too :)
How Pleasant. I really miss living in rural America. We use to have cattle and horses. Love all the photos.
I love seeing farm animals. Growing up in the city but having parents from the country gave me a longing for farms.
Betchai- I'm glad you noticed! The horse was moving.
Icy- there is peace and harmony there, isn't there?
Shutterbug- I can hardly imagine what a life in a city would be like.
Glynis- Your village sounds wonderful. You've taught me so much about Cyprus.
Bemused- The donkeys do seem quite special. People seem to keep them as something between pets and guard "dogs."
Auntie E- Glad I gave you some good memories!
Ratty- Sometimes I think everyone has some inner longings for the country if they know how to recognize it.
