The Word Press Photo challenge this week is the word ‘texture“. I thought a good response would be the textures on view at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto.
The softness of the hair known as the feathers on the horse’s legs and the hardness of the steel horse shoe.
The derriere of a Belgian heavy horse.
The elaborately decorated harness on the Percheron horse.
The folds of fabric decorating the boxes in the stadium.
The grooming of the sheep for showing is meticulous. I can almost feel that soft wool.
The winners in the wool division.
A cow takes it easy while waiting for her turn in the show ring.

Great photos. Love the one of shearing. That is hard to do. Sheared a sheep or two in Ireland and was afraid I was going to do more then shear it.
