The "Brit a Day" series

What does a months-long parade of attractive British men have to do with fiction, you might well ask? These gentlemen have inspired some lovely scenes, part of the life I live in my head. Over time, some of these scenes reach out to one another and begin to form a story. For the present, each one of these pictures provides a writing prompt for me, a way to keep me writing with a sense of passion and narrative, even when the stories are not yet fully formed.

A Brit a Day [#75]

You are certainly encouraged to click on this picture to see it larger. Based on some of the qualities Harry Potter exhibited, I decided that Daniel Radcliffe should be a veterinarian in today's post in keeping with this week's theme. This photo is clipped from a promo pic for 'Equus' a few years back, but it is amazingly appropriate. Decades ago, before they had special clothing for the purpose, large animal vets would strip to the waist before they got down to business with....a large animal. I learned every thing I need to know about large animal practices from the James Herriot books like 'All Creatures Great and Small.'
