Friday shootout - Fresh

And I'm running fresh out of time. 

BAGMAN:  "How can you be out of time?!  You're retired?!'

I don't answer him.  But I was going to just skip this post this morning.  I'm also fresh out of ideas or at least any fresh ideas for my header change.   So those of you who really check out my FMSO header on Friday, you can back away from the computer screen.  There is no super-subtle change in the header. 

Hey!  Maybe not changing anything in something I always change IS fresh.

Anyhow (have you editors out there spotted how much I overuse 'anyhow' to start paragraphs?) I'm just going to post a couple of archive (i.e. un-fresh) pictures just so I don't disappear completely from this Friday tradition.


The winter before last we woke to fresh snow,
very rare in coastal South Carolina.
Conner got his first fresh look at a snowman.


A fresh dip in a pool on a hot day during
our trip a few weeks ago to Myrtle Beach.
Also a fresh (an very unbecoming) approach to portraiture.


Also from Myrtle Beach - Fresh bread thrown in the water
brings hungry creatures from above and below.


The new (fresh) experience of swimming for the first time.



A fresh new goose.

And th...th...tha..tha..that's all folks!

    How the heck did you get that picture of the new, fresh goose? That's my favorite, this time.

    Like Heidi, I, too, say the fresh goose is my favourite. Although the fresh watery portrait is interesting, too.
    As for the header picture - when I saw that the topic of this Friday's shoot out was "Fresh", I thought you were going to replace your face with a slice of lemon or something.

    Swimming would really make me fresh right now, it's so hot and humid here.

    For your info, henna is temporary tattoo, the design will fade away within days. Muslim and Indian brides would adorned the henna on their hands and feet a day before. Once the henna dried, there's reddish mark being left on the skin. The leaves of henna are grinded into paste and put into a cone tube for easier apply. Here in Asia, one can get a henna design from some shops for a minimal fee.
