Now you are making me jealous – sooner summer comes the better. Just heard on the radio that there’s snow heading our way – oh joy.
Do you need an odd job man at all – I can work right through our winter then take my hols during yours – minimum wage plus food – what do you reckon?
PS I know what you’re thinking, I meant a man to do odd jobs, not an odd man to do jobs – oh well, maybe you’re right.
Take care – great shot

Yeah once upon a time me too!...... lovely shot Cathleen love the colours and simplicity of this. Neat shorts.

Fantastic, fun filled capture, lovely!

Absolutely wonderful shot – oh, to be a kid again . . . good work!

P.S. – love those polka dot shorts !

Beautiful, brilliant amazing image full of energy and life just love it

Sounds good to me, I don’t care if you’re an odd man that does odd jobs making odd noises… if you’re cheap, you’re in. That goes for you too Sean :)

What a great shot, makes you wish you were right there at that exact moment, love photos that can do that!

good action shot i miss doing cartwheels.

Some people call it odd noises – I call it singing

Ok, you can still come but bring earplugs for me. Thanks for the comments everyone :)

Wonderful work & Congratulations

This would look wonderful in the Good News Group

I like the affect you gave to the legs/feet. Makes that part of the picture seem to morph into a painting/portrait which fits the snapshot of summer theme I took from the picture quite nicely.
