Mac and 6 donkeys

I know it's not technically correct but I always think of these grazing donkeys as a fleet. So here we have have Mac the bike and a fleet of donkeys. :-)

Whenever I bike through the Ahuriri Valley on Banks Peninsula, they're always grazing this strip beside the road. I biked the valley both ways today and stopped on the downhill and uphill to chat to them.

My day is the richer for it but I can't vouch for the donkeys.

Today's gratitude: For the unexpected company of friends at the cafe.
