mickle by summerfield

mickle

for today's mad minute word, mickle, which means 'a large amount; much; a very large amount'.

coming home from the garden centre, i spotted this sparkling new off white ford mustang. "by god!" i told partner, "finally, a convertible driven by someone with a mickle of hair!" "a what of hair?" partner asked. "a mickle of hair! you know, i get disappointed whenever i see these fancy cars being driven by old fogeys who are bald as a baby's butt! now i want to see if he is good looking"

so partner chased the mustang so i can get a head shot (no pun intended) of the driver. why, i'd even include the lady beside him as she looked quite elegant in that pretty little hat. so the mustang and our rusty caravan went side by side. and i took a pic from partner's side. got it!

i rarely ever would chimp after taking a shot but i wanted to see how this guy looked. "oh, shit!" and i laughed out loud. "what?" partner asked. "well, it's another old fogey! only he's an old fogey with a mickle of hair!"
Well done! Nice capture of the wind blown hair in the convertible car! I do like the ladies hat!

You know, if Jeff was driving me around in a white mustang (well, ours would be blue- but if he was driving me around in a mustang) and I was wearing that fashionable hat, I would be SMILING! Fun story!

People who drive those cars really dont seem to enjoy them. Nice capture of a very prude looking lady and her mickle of hair driver.
