I'm sensing a theme....What could it be? :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I've always loved that Raeburn picture of the ice-skating reverend. He looks so serious while he's striking that funny pose.
Ha! How very perceptive of you! I love the Raeburn as well, you can see why the Nation Gallery of Scotland adopted it for their logo/mascot.
ReplyDeleteI love that ice skating one!
ReplyDeletePlease forgive my pedantry for my first comment on your blog (and edit it if you think it fit). Chausseur is a shoe-maker, not a hunter (chasseur). A funny mistake, but maybe you do not want it that way. Thanks for the interesting posts.
ReplyDeleteHa! A Cobbler in the Woods
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing it out, I surely wouldn't have noticed otherwise!
