I was looking for an old photo to share with you today, and I came across this gem: driving on the Boulevard in Washington, D.C.’s Potomac Park, c. 1908.

And, although this photo has no horses or carriages in it, it offers a fascinating glimpse of the growing D.C. skyline, c. 1931.

Continuing on from yesterday’s post, here are the rest of my Sunday-morning-drive photos …

Today and tomorrow, I’m going to share a whole bunch of photos from last Sunday’s drive through the Kentucky Horse Park and neighboring Walnut Hall Farm: the presentation-pleasure drive for our CAA Carriage Festival. I got photos of nearly, but not quite, everyone on the drive, and I’ll share them here in the order they drove.
