This is very nice Charlie. I'm usually pretty dense, but I caught on to the sling right away.

This shot and the two previous were the result of a sudden, impulsive notion that struck me just before church services. “Mysterious” and “Healing Cup” and I are in the choir. “Adornment” is the mother of “Healing Cup.” I ran home after Mass to put away my guitar and grab my camera. I returned to the “coffee and donuts” social and asked the three women to model for me. They were flattered, and a bit amused, by my suggested poses, but they all went gamefully along. The break in "Healing Cup's" arm is only about two weeks old, and her arm is still tender. But she can still sing beautifully; she and “Mysterious” did a gorgeous duet that day.

Poor lady! Hope she's better now. Anything for our "art" eh Charlie! CJ

You're a mean taskmaster! But you got the shot and that's what matters, right? :)

I have to say she was quite the trooper! I knew her arm was recently broken. But I didn’t expect that modeling for this shot would be quite as uncomfortable for her as it turned out to be. She had to use her left hand to move the fingers of her right hand around the coffee cup!

Silly me...I thought it was some kind of a handbag. I'm glad you've enlightened me, Christina.
