Kelso Races

I have never been to the races before, anywhere; so this event was both a discovery and an adventure for me.

We arrived just after midday, and purchased tickets at the gate; Charlie told me the Kelso races were special, and I learned through this observant day I share with you.

Jazz band, love these instruments!

Felt concern for the jockeys that fell from their horses, with no knowledge broadcast of them being remotely OK.

The horse and jockeys are very photogenic; today I was using my Panasonic DC-FZ82. If you want to take 1200mm zoom pictures I recommend this as a budget camera; the only issues I have other than low pixels is the operational settings seem a bit confusing.

Every bet lost but one, the weather held as I moved unmoved between the busy day. We enjoyed this day, but marked it as a special day, until next year, Kelso races.
