A mule eating grass.
Free Picture Description
In 2012, my wife and I visited Asheville, North Carolina and I was mesmerized by the beauty of this old place. We tour a tour around and in one of the stops, I saw this mule eating grass. I stopped the car and went out to the plains to get closer and took a picture of this mule. This picture has been edited using Simon Funk's creation, Painteresque. By the way, this is my first sighting of a mule. For those who are looking for drawing inspiration, this mule can be a model for a clip art. This picture can also be used as an illustration for baby books or eBooks to represent letter "M".
