Coz I'm Worth It

Father's Day has been and almost gone and if it wasn't for the kids giving me a card that said "DAD... someone told me that you were an OLD FART" and makes a "PARP" noise when it opens, I wouldn't have noticed any difference from any other Sunday. Well the kids thought it was hilarious and it did bring a smile to my face!!

We made another visit to the park for day two of the Carnival to take some pictures at the Classic Car Show Some of the pictures can be seen by CLICKING HERE The kids soon became bored though and when it started raining again it was time to head home in time for lunch... except there wasn't any. So we then had to go shopping, don't you just hate shopping, especially on Sundays, and that's where we bought these. A present to me, bought by me, just for me... to photograph by me for my PotD!!

Happy Father's Day, belated. I'm glad you didn't get a new lens, then you wouldn't have gotten these beautiful flowers for yourself, and us. Nicely done.

There are some moments, you have to return back in time and become a kid for a few minutes and give it a big laugh, unless you are an old fart, for sure.
Don't stress yourself by taking everything serious. If the chidren found it funny, do the same. It came from there heart anyway and nothing is more innocent then a child.
Nice photo and very smooth rendering you made of it.

I am with Ray... you are ana old softy.. and I'm laughing that the kids rag you, and I like your flowers, and I hope you had a good day. The image is quite strong.

I guess you deserved both - the joke and the flowers :-)
Excellent preservation of the perishables here.
