Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
A calisthenics exercise perhaps? Really cute expression on the younger fellow's partially covered face. ;D
Hmmm, about the 'about' page ... I debated for a long time whether to put my face there and instead, posted one of my favorite photos, however I do have one I'll think about.
13 Aug 2008 6:49pm
@Judy: I think he got pushed outta bed with lots of protest lol thanks so much, you're a sweetie ;)
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
I love this image. The expression is priceless. If Judy won't post her picture, I will. I have a really lovely one of her. She is a delightful, lovely person. You can find me somewhere in my portfolio. It is a self image that I kind of painted. But you have probably seen it.
13 Aug 2008 7:22pm
@Marion: Hey Marion, thanks so much, oh I'll look for it, I know what Judy looks like, lord there are beautiful people in the world ;)
Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
You know you can go to my 'about' page and see me there... always enjoy your sarcasm... hehehehe... you are a girlie after my own heart...
13 Aug 2008 8:02pm
@Fliss: I know Felicity, I've checked, you're a hot blond with lovely streaks in your hair, and what eyes!!!! ;) also saw your good-lookin' husband :)
Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
Who spreads love, gets love, you reminded me to change my portrait in my about from a 5-year old boy in how I look like now. I just did it please have a look. What are these boys doing? The picture shows, apart from the question what they are doing, nice kids enthusiastically playing, great kids action picture!
13 Aug 2008 8:17pm
@Illuci: You can bank on that Erik :) and thanks so much, my interpretation of it, and I could be way off, is that dad got his two boys out of bed for some morning exercise...LOL
@Helma: merci Beaucoup Helma ;)
Rui from Leiria, Portugal
My first reaction when I saw the photo was laugh. The kid's expression is simply great... "My dad is crazy"... Was my only thought! Remembering my son when I do something weird or "crazy". Fantastic shot.
13 Aug 2008 9:58pm
@Rui: I know it cracked me up too...the kid wasn't ready for the outdoors yet, thanks v. m. Rui :)
Nina from Hamburg, Germany
A wonderful image, Lorraine...filled with activity and emotions, very well in b/w! :)
13 Aug 2008 10:17pm
@Nina: I thought they were wonderful, thanks so much Nina :)
dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United States
ooh -- are they learning how to dive into a pool? a wonderful shot -- very intriguing! what's the boy doing without shoes? :)
13 Aug 2008 10:32pm
@dj.tigersprout: Hey Dj my take of it is that the kids were shaken outta bed and urged into morning exercise, but I don't know thanks somuch ;)
Gary from Cochise County, United States
Alot going on and I'm having trouble figuring it out. Is this some crazy game you play in Canada? It certainly challenges the imagination.
14 Aug 2008 2:04am
@Gary: You're not the only one Gary, but my take or my guess is that Dad woke the kids up for some morning exercise, I gather that the youngest protested the loudest lol thanks so much!
akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
I don't go often on the "about" picture but reading your comment made me click on it for the first time and there is a nice picture of you... Here all the chidren hide a bit their face and Dad(?) face is not visible :)
14 Aug 2008 3:39am
@akarui: Hey thanks a lot Olivier, I think dad got the kids outta bed for some exercise, and the little one protested the loudest lol
Barbara from Florida, United States
A fun capture Lorraine. Looks like the father & possibly brother are bribing him by behaving strange until he gives in. Or just getting him away from the computer to get some exercise or he will end up looking like all those American kids. (that's OK I said it)
Hmmmm I too have thought to put a photo on my about page, like Judy had one in mind but I will have to dig one up. Oh gee wouldn't want to scare anyone away.
It is a great idea you bring up though.
14 Aug 2008 4:03am
@Barbara: Thanks so much, I think so too, either away from the computer, or from bed, and the young just wasn't up to it lol...you wouldn't scare a mouse, I've seen you, you're an attractive, intelligent looking woman, I saw you with your art, you can't fool me ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
Hey that is a great photo of you. Fabulous and wonderful smile. Love the beads and how they match the design on your dress. It all makes me think Native American or is it Native Canadian?
Gosh how can we match a portrait like that!
14 Aug 2008 4:05am
@Barbara: Thanks very much, the beads are Tchek, I think, I bought them at Giant Tiger for 99. cents, I was just looking for something colourful to put around my neck, 'cause it was such a beautiful summer day...You can match this EASY ;)
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
Well....everybody seems to have something against the own face in this shot....most are hidden or we see the "other face" we have ....on the backside!BUT.......I DID look, just now, at your "about" and what did I see there.......a blooming face!!!! I like the shot, Lorraine! Maybe...Dimitrios is right, something Greek in those lines!
14 Aug 2008 12:14pm
@Japanalia: Thanks so much Sweet G., but you've lost me, Dimitirios think I look greek?
@bluechameleon: Thanks so much Blue ;)
@Porcsin: Thanks a lot Porsin, it's been a while ;)
@Porcsin: Sure, twice is always better than once ;)
@[terrorkitten]: Most definetely, I'm still waiting for more ;) Jannie sent me the photo of you her, and her friend, she is so pretty :)
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
