A-Z Challenge 2021 - Photo Shoot: D - Deer, Ducks, Denmark

 It's not just in Britain that ducks abound.

On the Clinton River in Rochester, Michigan

They know where the picnic tables are!

When we are in Michigan I do not have to look far for deer.

Just over a roadside fence

One of many that visit my daughter's home

I have delivered lots of training courses in Denmark and could not miss this in Copenhagen.

You can take a horse to water ... - Sepia Saturday

From the time I saw this week's prompt first appear ...

I been trying to get some local horses to take a drink.

However they all are quite happy to

Munch away at the grass

The smallest one might take a drink - 

If there was not a fence in the way.

He just has to be content to look at the water trough where others have been when I've not been about.

Police horses in a park alongside the Paint Creek Trail in Michigan have to do as they are told, but they do get a rest from time to time.

They even get taken to see the Clinton River nearby.

A drink for one

And them both on a hot summer's day

I'll try again with my local horses again tomorrow. If I do not succeed I know where I need to go to get a drink thanks to a special kind of horse.

The Cleveland Bay, Yarm

After all if you can't make a horse take that drink, there is nothing that says you have to abstain.

Cheers Sepians at Sepia-Saturday-271.

Multiples - Thematic Photography

There is a watery connection running through my pictures this week for Carmi's 'multiple' theme.

Multiple boats and masts, and... at Fowey, Cornwall

On the Isles of Scilly my multiples have a maritime connection.

Nature has multiples too. the first of which you may have seen before.

More bird multiples in Scotland.

Swans and their cygnets

Finally it's the turn of a magic basket.

Basket weave

There is even a water connection with this. Dirty clothes dropped into the magic basket magically reappear clean and bright in wardrobes and drawers after being washed, dried and ironed (where necessary).

For more multiple multiples you need to dash away with a smoothing iron to Carmi's Thematic-photographic-263.
