Emphatic!

Do you think he's made his point?  I do, but don't remember what it was!



For this shot, I pre-focused on the background and waited for an interesting hand gesture.

2022_CLondon52w8: Domestic

From the C.London website: Open for Interpretation

As I've reflected in this blog previously, watching our grandson is one of my greatest pleasures.  It is also one of my domestic responsibilities.  So with Presidents Day closing his child care, we were called into action on this holiday.  Unfortunately, the little guy was a bit under the weather so a trip to the pediatrician became part of the plan for the day.  After the visit, while Mimi was reporting back to our son, Pops was firing off a few photos in the waiting room.

This image is the first 2Fer of the year, fulfilling both challenges with a single photo.

Lazy Ass

What's the story in this image?  It's a Friday, I've been awake for 4 hours and burned a whooping 47 active calories.  The title says it all.

Anger

52Frames - Week 51 - Black and White Minimalism

Covid, Inequity, Violence, Hate, Trump...plenty of things to be angry about this year.

Now with two vaccines approved and some leadership entering the White House, I'm confident we can turn a new page on January 20th.
