Recently I've been looking through the online archives of our local State Library, searching for pictures to inspire me with an idea for a short story, and I came across this one, with the intriguing description, 'country family with city man'. What story lies behind this photo?
However, what I found most interesting were the two dogs in the picture. I wonder what they could tell us about life on the farm?
What a lovely photo...you could stare at it all day and wonder what they werethinking, doing....
ReplyDeleteI have always been fascinated with old photos...and now, in the future, I will look for the dogs tucked away in them!
Hope Penny is recovering from her swim...
Hi Parlance,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good words! And my, that is a well-found photo. (Let me guess who the "city man" is.) I find the dogs interesting because they look more like pets than working dogs. Though, if they are spaniels, they might have done a bit of upland bird hunting.
Tina and Teddy, thanks for the visit. Yes, Penny seems much better. I'm hoping to take her for a walk in the bush tomorrow, with some doggy friends.
ReplyDeleteCurator, they do look like pets, now that you mention it. I hadn't thought of it.
