Oh! Thanks a lot. I found the photo and knew it had to have at least 50 words in it! Just cracked me up! Imagine the photographer who got that perfect shot!

Thank you, Rebecca. Truthfully most ALL of my fiction ( short and long ) begins with a great found photo. Meg Oolders of Stock Fiction does the same. The wheels of words just start turning...
