Excellent portrait,looks like he may be wrong about the weather just a little bit,LOL,nce work on this one,Laura! #7689622

Julianne Bradford June 29, 2009

Great portrait Laura. Looks like a well trained model! #7689887

Max Aureli June 29, 2009

Great shot Laura!! LOL Is your husband??? #7689989

Laura E. Swan level-classic June 29, 2009

Hi Guys!

Last to first:

Max- I admit nothing. (He is much more handsome when he is not screaming with fear!)

Julianne - This particular model is UN-TRAINABLE. He DOES work for FOOD however.

Walter- It was a nice day and then all of a sudden these huge gusts came from no where (well..okay, they came from the sky), and almost blew him away. It was very frightening and we almost lost him.

Nancy G. - I am glad you were HAPPY on your BIRTHDAY. This model wasn't.

Jack- :) Thanks!

S.Z.- You are funny, too.

Mumj- He wasn't yawning. He still has blankets wrapped around him, like a burrito, but he is not sleeping. His eyes wont close and he keeps screaming "NO! NO! NO!" as he jerks back and fourth? Should I be worried?

Hi Early Pearl. You're tops! Thanks!

Special notes: Brett...great idea. Oxygen! I think we have a tank of it around here somewhere. I'll use it on him....Or is that a fire extinguisher? Humm...well, I'll try it anyway!

Kiki - YES. This (VERY) unknown tourist almost DID take off. It was horrifying.


Thanks all for you deep concern and kindnesses. I will tell him you care if he ever snaps out of it!

-Laura #7690140

Karen Engelbreth June 29, 2009

LOL - cool portrait, Laura.... #7690170

Christine Lobsinger level-classic June 29, 2009

Thanks for the fun and Thank you also Karen! :) Glad my model made you guys smile. #7690288

Tammy Espino June 29, 2009

Certainly made me smile! I agree a great shot to send in to the local weather channel :))) #7691148

Karen Kessler June 29, 2009

Hmmm...this tourist looks vaguely familiar! Now where have I seen him before?? It seems like he had a horrified look on his face like he was surprised or something??

Funny, Sis! Looks like y'all were having fun! :) #7691336

Lorna Shutter June 29, 2009

Thanks, Stephen! :)

LOL! This tourist is almost as scary as the tourists who were snatched up by my ghost building!!! He looks like he's in agony! Wonderfully funny capture with a gorgeous background! Nice work, Sis! :) #7691412

Sister Lorna...How did you know my dancing model Stephen? He works cheap, too. (For rides down to the senior center).

Did you see the latest shots from inside of that ghost building of yours? Take a look! STRAIGHT from the digital monitors. They are still trying to blame "light sensors" but obviously they are the "Tourists"...

Photobucket #7691543

Laura E. Swan level-classic June 29, 2009

As for the rest of you fun visitors:

Sister Karen...yes. This model does like to scream. You have likely seen him B4! ;)

Tammy & Christine, (And Kiki!) Maybe you guys are onto something with the weather channel???? :) #7691556

Mary K. Robison June 30, 2009

Really fun capture, Laura, but where's Gene Kelly? Guess he only shows up when it actually rains...
The yawn with the bent-back umbrella really IS cute...looks like you had a lot of good times on your trip. #7691733

Laura E. Swan level-classic July 06, 2009

Last to first:

Wm, I think you are right. He was. Not that me and the "3-Seagull" were spying on you guys.

*

GOOD TO SEE YOU IRENE!!! I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!

*

HA! Thanks Nadya! Stop in ANY TIME! Let my images BLOW YOU AWAY! (My poor model.)

*

Wm, Does Diane know about your UFO windshield image? Humm...HOW DID SHE KNOW TO SAY THAT?! She must know 3-Seagull, too!

*

Cassie, HAHAHAAHAHA! I know! I know!

*

Sherrybear so fun to see you dropping in like Mary Poppins. Sorry that I have no viable means of transportation for you to make your exit. (My poor model).

*

Mary...Gene Kelly WAS there. It had been raining JUST PRIOR TO THIS...but alas, he gets paid HUGE BUCKS and I couldn't afford him as a model...This other guy "worked for food". So I cooked for him. (My poor model).

Thanks for the fun all! :)
