Like a canvas painted with the colours of human ambition, the dog show is a spectacle that captures…
I organised a visit to Clumber Park yesterday and invited members of the Royal Photographic Society East Midlands Region. It was the first trip of the year, and it was a blast. As I drove to Clumber from home, the skies were blue, then grey, then rainy, and then blue with a rainbow. I felt …
