Some Royal Textures

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 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.

    Anne, so sorry (mostly for myself) that I haven’t been around in a long time. These pictures are awesome! I love the different textures and colours in the animal world. You captured them grandly!

    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.

      Watching the grooming of the sheep and cows at the Royal is fascinating! It is a real art.
