A great many lovely images here. The old ones and the new ones. The old ones seem more important in a way. To me it because they are a record of people, and times and dogs past. The very fact that these images still exist is a small miracle. Photography was the preserve of certain class of people in it's early years. Not now of course. Taking the pictures is easy now. Storing them even easier. But the digital images can be lost within the blink of an eye. A stolen camera/phone, dropped in a river, an irate ex stamping on it, some one erasing all images to free up space. What I'm suggesting lads and lasses is that if you take photo's go to the effort of printing some on paper. In 10, 20, 30 years time they may be the only ones that you have to look back on, and in 200 years time ?

spot on ?

I see the two men in straw boaters as officer class. The man in the flat cap is PBI. Flat cap owns the ferrets and the none descript terriers. Kneeling boater owns the classy looking Fox Terrier, keeping a hold whilst the photograph is taking because it's a bit hot with ferrets. Who knows ? Thanks for sharing the image Darbo.
