LOL!!! This - very unknown tourist - seems to be taking off at any moment now. HA! I love it, Sis!!!!! You should enter this one under 'Weather forecast' category!! #7688476Jyri Vissak June 29, 2009
Great timing! Very funny. #7688516Laura E. Swan June 29, 2009

Oh this is hysterical... I love the turned out umbrella with the yawn expression...ha ha... he needs a nap, & definately would be carried away to dream land. What a beautiful memory for your album.....!!! and awesome setting...LOOK at that background... 8o) #7688644Stephen Zacker June 29, 2009
You are funny. This made me laugh L.S. #7688721Jack R. Perry June 29, 2009
To funny! #7689088Nancy L. Green June 29, 2009
This is a HOOT!!! Wonderful capture of this candid moment!!! <>< #7689256Julianne Bradford June 29, 2009
Great portrait Laura. Looks like a well trained model! #7689887Max Aureli June 29, 2009
Great shot Laura!! LOL Is your husband??? #7689989Laura E. Swan 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!

Karen Engelbreth June 29, 2009
LOL - cool portrait, Laura.... #7690170Christine Lobsinger June 29, 2009
Too Funny Laura... maybe you can send this shot into your local weather station - lol... love it!!Christine Lobsinger June 29, 2009
Sis, I forgot to ask..."In Memory of Marg/Roger Harvey"...?Laura E. Swan June 29, 2009
Chris...go to my newest entry...scroll to the bottom. I tell you all about the plaque. :)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 :))) #7691148Karen 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
Laura E. Swan June 29, 2009
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"...
Laura E. Swan 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

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! :)
