Discarded things.

Discarded items was the theme Lena gave me. Now this one puzzled me. I mean, rubbish sneaks into photos from time to time but mostly it is something to avoid in photos.

Well-groomed horses doing things

Joee gave me the topic “Horses”, which reminded me of these photos from 2004. The National Trust house Clarendon has an annual fair, and in 2008 we held a stall there.

In search of snow

(Keyword for post: Snow) No snow here, despite packing kids and dogs into the car and driving halfway up a snow covered mountain. This is the car park halfway up the mountain, where there is no snow and no power in the car battery as it turned out. No snow to the right. No snow…
