Your country needs you! by onewing

Your country needs you!

Friday people photo day again and this chap was one of the Veterans at the Fort Scratchley open day a few weeks ago.

Don’t worry our Military Forces haven’t got this desperate yet! It could be a thing of the future though as our Prime Minister is wanting to up the retirement age to 70.

Salute to the veteran and well done on a brilliant candid!

What a fantastic beard he has, great shot.
July 11th, 2014  
Great beard photo..... he looks a real character and very proud to be in his uniform.
July 11th, 2014  
great shot Babs - love the beard hahahaha

I wonder if Ed and Dave will look like this one day? He looks like a man with a purpose though!
July 11th, 2014  
you made me laugh with the commentary great shot

@chimfa Not a hope Jane. Neither of them have got enough hair on their heads for one thing and David is definitely not allowed to grow a beard because it makes him look like an escaped convict.

@hermann Thanks Sally I think he had a great time. I saw him a few times as he was dashing by, so had quite a bit of trouble getting a photo of him.

@sioux @lpot1985 Thanks, it was a great day and it was a real step back in time day with the veterans dressed up to the nines.

@jackie8 @annied How unusual that I should find a chap with a beard to take a photo of. Actually this chap was a bit like a whippet I tried a few times to get a photo of him and nearly had to nail him down to get this one.

@pittcj17 Glad it made you smile Cindy. Thanks.

@onewing hahahaha oh Bas that would have been hilarious
July 11th, 2014  
It looks like ZZ-Top has come to visit you, Babs.

@creampuff ha ha. It's Santa really doing his military service.

Wonderful candid image babs, lovely detail and lighting, looks like he was running away to me lol;)
July 11th, 2014  
Looks a great character - good capture!
July 11th, 2014  
Great shot
July 11th, 2014  
Great candid, Babs. He looks very determined!
July 11th, 2014  
Nice portrait!
July 11th, 2014  
Nice candid image. I need to go out and try this.
July 11th, 2014  
Great candid, well captured.
July 12th, 2014  
Again with the beard. Bet he didn't have that when he served.
July 12th, 2014  
I reckon he got the threads cheap at the disposal store
July 12th, 2014  
Great candid shot and love the continuation of the bearded Friday photos!
July 12th, 2014  
He certainly looks in a hurry to go somewhere else! Well done to capture him! That beard reminds me a bit of Spanish moss!

@pcoulson @quietpurplehaze @denisefuller @dolphin @kwind @almondjoy1 @golftragic Thanks so much @kathiecb @lilminimonka I know, another beard. There must be something significant there, but I don't know what it is.
@terryliv Thanks Terry, this was at the Fort Scratchley open day for the Queens Birthday celebration and the vererans were all dressed up in their military garb. I think they all had a great day. @angelat Thanks Angela, yes he was in a hurry. I saw him a few times as he was dashing about the place. It took a while to get a photo of him.
