A-Z Blogging Challenge 2025 - E is for Entertainment

As I travel the world I take many photos that pique my interest, these could be lumped into a "peculiar category" ie. they are peculiar to my interests and may be different from what one usually sees in a collection of travel photos.

For the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge in 2025 my theme is Peculiar Pics. During April I invite you to join me for an online tour of Peculiar Pics from my digital albums. These will be sourced from my travels between April 2024 to March 2025.

Travel provides us with many opportunities to be educated, enthused and entertained. In this post I'll concentrate on some of the performances we have enjoyed in the past year.

A-Z Blogging Challenge 2025 - C is for Cocktails and Coca-Cola
