I really struggled today to get a photo that I was happy with, so I've settled for this out of about 7 or 8 potential shots.

As for the odd looks...more than likely, I had to call on my years of yoga training to get the right angle!
Yeah, lets bring some culture to proceedings :-) I'm planning to sprinkle in some BMD photos - I found another one on Sunday night while dropping my son at work.
