September 16, 2022February 1, 2023 Megan Bean

A furry gray donkey with a white nose and belly and a dark stripe down its shoulder stands in a snowy pasture. It turns its head toward the camera and pricks its ears.

Through their branches the sky shows a bright cloudless blue. Some trees off-screen to the right streak the snow with shadows.
