What can I say? This photo speaks for itself. She is sad and her ears look unsure because Rhys did not answer the video call. If Rhys had, I bet all that mopiness would have turned to excited curiosity. Photo prompts are by me and for me. #OTR50 223 Days to go. © Randi Sumner […]

More reviewing photos from Ireland . . . In the land of Irish Whisky and the home of Guinness, I tried a different Hard Cider almost every night. What can I say? I’m not a fan of beer and I like my whiskey mixed with a hot cup of tea and honey or a full […]
