Nice Day for a Picnic by graemestevens

Nice Day for a Picnic

We went out last night to a friends place (yes, somewhat surprisingly I have some) for drinks and a pot luck diner...a marvellous time was had by all, and some of us may have over indulged. All of this means that I have woken up this morning feeling slightly hazy, as dry as an Arab's sandal and not exactly on an emotionally stable plain of existence. I believe that on days like this one should pack ones rusty old ammo case and head out for a "picnic" - exertion and indulging in a hobby is a great way to take my mind off my...mind...

Sandals with socks?
September 28th, 2014  
@gigiflower Yep, and a corset. Nothing else though.

Sam
@graemestevens The cushion and skivvy gone missing?
September 28th, 2014  
@gigiflower The skivvy is too tight now and the cushion is in the wash...
September 28th, 2014  
you scare me
September 28th, 2014  
I love that this is your go-to box of photo props… I just acquired a mirror today and was excited to add it to my collection of sheets and black poster board… a far less exciting group of photo props :) Excellent capture my friend!
September 28th, 2014  
@northy I scare you? Sometimes I scare me.
@maishanny Thanks very much - I have a much larger ammo box as well but I'm not at liberty to say what I keep in it...
September 28th, 2014  
It looks like an interesting kit. For some reason I imagine there is a stick of lipstick in there too. Either way it looks like you have an interesting afternoon ahead.
September 28th, 2014  
the serial killers toolbox - I am trying not to picture you in your corset sandals and socks minus cushion ( glad it is in the wash though ) and I really must say this is awesome detail and focus on things that if in a horror film would scare the duck out of me :)
September 28th, 2014  
@karlow75 The corset is folded at the bottom too...
@annied Thank you kindly - I always have this kit the car, one never knows when one will have to mutilate a commoner.
September 28th, 2014  
@graemestevens or extract information
September 28th, 2014  
@annied I never bother with that. They have nothing I need to know....why clutter my already cluttered mind with more information?
September 28th, 2014  
@graemestevens good point - I like your thinking
September 28th, 2014  
@annied why thank you. Many don't, which I just can not understand.
September 28th, 2014  
September 28th, 2014  
Haha! That knife or is it knives sure get a good work out.
September 28th, 2014  
I see no less than 3 means of imminent harm in this ammo box. Where I'm from, if you can't get the job done on the first shot out the door, you might as well not go out the door. *shrugs* just sayin'...my advice for the day? Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. You'll get shreds of your mind back more quickly. With this collection of goodies, you may need some semblance of organized thought at some point. Only a tad, mind you.
September 28th, 2014  
Picnic??? Are you planning on killing your lunch...?
September 28th, 2014  
@harbie I'm planning on catching my lunch...
@voiceprintz I've been hydrating...hair of the dog and all that. As for my array of weaponry, I don't like to have a set modus operandi so the more ways of inflicting harm the better ;)
@lwain That knife is a favourite knife...perfectly weighted...
@annied I know! I'm often outraged by it.
September 28th, 2014  
Pink Floyd's song " Careful with that axe Eugene " springs to mind but thankfully I see no sign of an axe. Enjoy your picnic :))
September 28th, 2014  
@graemestevens I would be too - in fact I am!
September 28th, 2014  
You just put all these articles together to get some great comments from your friends! I refuse to be party to that! .....though I kinda like the gas mask!
September 28th, 2014  
Is your blood iron down?? If not, I'd pass on eating any of that lot on a picnic, or any other time.
September 28th, 2014  
Have you ever considered replacing the cushion with a large feather fan (pink preferably) it may heighten your senses! The box of goodies must be hidden away until you want to strike.
September 28th, 2014  
Nice focus, scary picnic basket!!
September 28th, 2014  
@hermann LOL, a great song for the shot, wish I'd thought of that!
@maggiemae But this is my standard "stepping out" kit...
@golftragic This is what I wear and use to catch my lunch...
@ceilidh It's always in the back of the car - hadn't thought of a fan, might be worried about potential injuries when I fold it away
@ounooi Thanks very much :)
@annied Excellent, I am not alone
September 28th, 2014  
this is why I have to look at the 'responses' on 365 from you!
September 28th, 2014  
@graemestevens no you are not :)
September 28th, 2014  
Love the tools of the trade shot! Awesome!
September 28th, 2014  
@creativefool Thank you kindly :)
September 28th, 2014  
like the composition, not sure about contents of box, glad I am not picnicking near you, especially with your choice of clothing
September 28th, 2014  
@pinkpaintpot Thanks very much...yes, no one ever picnics near me...
September 28th, 2014  
:o)
September 28th, 2014  
Where are the sausage rolls?
September 28th, 2014  
nice kit here Graeme....
September 28th, 2014  
You've captured the extremities of the dynamic range extremely well here Graeme... and it's more interesting than the average 'still-life' ;-)
September 28th, 2014  
It will be with a certain amount of trepidation that I 'log in' tomorrow to see what the outcome of your 'picnic' was .....
September 28th, 2014  
Very interesting basket indeed! I'm torn between gratitude and dissapointment ... that you're not incuded in the shot... in your picnic attire ;)
September 28th, 2014  
Yes an interesting an varied collection of stuff to take on a picnic every eventuality covered me thinks.
September 28th, 2014  
@chippy1402 I do like to be prepared...
@lisatown I couldn't face another "selfie" today, what with the hangover and all...
@motherjane LOL, I don't think there's anything to worry about...
@vignouse Thank you very much - shooting in RAW has made a huge difference...and I don't do average, normal still life's ;)
@tellefella Thank you kindly, it comes in handy
@newbank Once I catch the filling...
@eilert :))
September 28th, 2014  
Bon Appetit !:)
September 28th, 2014  
@joemuli It will be most enjoyable...
September 28th, 2014  
Ha ha self inflicted lol Awesome shot. I really like how you have the knife so much brighter than the rest. It really stands out. As long as you had a great night......then it was all worth the pain the next morning :-)
September 29th, 2014  
@leanne333 Thanks very much - 'twas a good night. I think,
September 29th, 2014  
Lol, never you fail to amaze me, like Annie sais a serial killer´s box is what comes to mind
September 29th, 2014  
@susale We all have one, whether it's real or not ;)
September 29th, 2014  
Sue
Awesome shot ... although I glad I'm not your neighbour, it could be a little frightening :P
September 29th, 2014
