That Sunday Feeling by graemestevens

That Sunday Feeling

Well, it's been a busy day - the sun was shining and it definitely felt like an early spring day. After the dogs were walked it was straight back home to gather grapefruit (third crop this year), prune the grapefruit tree, remove a dead tree (which subsequently meant playtime with both the chainsaw and wood chipper), followed by mowing the lawns and another walk for the dogs. All of this and excessively handsome, witty and intelligent as well...it's so difficult being me that I now feel something like the old wreck in this shot. And yes, "they" actually let me use a chainsaw...
I'll bet you used a farming doohickey.

Graeme, it's hard for me to explain why but this shot talk to me a lot. It's if I have the chance to know you better. There is a bit of everything I think I know about you through your project. Maybe you know or not but I fell this shot is you. And I love it!

Great shot - sounds like you've got your energy back after having 'man flu' - you place will be spick and span.

"Oh lord its hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I cant wait to look in the mirror
I get better looking each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
Oh lord its hard to be humble
But I'm doin the best that I can."

Did you not manage to climb that cool snow covered mountain in the background on the same day ? Love the sepia tones :-)
August 24th, 2014  
love that old truck and also that background....
August 24th, 2014  
It all looks worn out. I don't think you can ever feel that! It doesn't suit the image!!!
August 24th, 2014  
@brigette Thanks, I'm just hanging around the saloon twirling my six shooters...
@terryliv Yep...nail on the head there!
@hermann Thanks very much - thought I might leave the climb for a busier day!
@tellefella Thanks very much indeed
@ceilidh Some days I could give it a run for it's money!
August 24th, 2014  
Really suits the sepia tones.
August 24th, 2014  
No end to your talents by the sound of it...dog walker, grass mower, fruit picker, chain saw mover....all this & a model man too!!
Love your sepia type photo & yet Egmont rises in all it's glory with its snow capping top!

"What a man, what a man, what a man
What a mighty good man"
love the image - am disturbed by the thought of you with a chainsaw - must admit I am disturbed by the thought of most people with a chainsaw
August 25th, 2014  
@annied Thanks awfully - I'm very careful with the chainsaw...sometimes
August 25th, 2014  
@graemestevens I have watched way too many mobster movies LOL
August 25th, 2014  
@annied Yes...and I keep my chainsaw in a violin case...
August 25th, 2014  
@graemestevens oh I knew you did hahahahaha
August 25th, 2014  
When I hear woodchipper the only thing I can think of is the movie Fargo! I am sure you were up to no good!
August 25th, 2014  
@panthora I'm always up to no good...
August 25th, 2014  
Remember not to stand on the thing you are cutting through/off is all the advice you need! Oh yes and don't run with it! Lovely shot although that white lump in the background is a distraction! :-)
August 25th, 2014  
@yrhenwr Thanks very much - advice duly noted!
