Hi Captain Laketrees,
Did you finally catch Charlie the Tuna? ;~))
haha Miss MP...
I wonder if DD gets fish this big visiting around her way :)
it's a remarkable photo isn't it.....
Ha Ha Captain Laketrees,
DD's mouth isn't that big to catch large tuna! :~))
The Photo is stunning and I hope his wife doesn't mind his stunning smell! ;~)
hmmm.... yes he would be a bit on the nose Miss MP :)D
I wouldn't like to be doing HIS washing!!!!
Hello Kim,
Great photo. It's like putting to life, or death, the old Mafia saying "sleeping with the fishes". This refers to rotten fish wrapped in old newspapers sent to the family or "associates" of the victim - together with the victim's favorite jewelry, or watch, or piece of clothing. It means he is lying dead under the sea.
This photo looks like the victim was fished out. LOL! :-) --Durano, done!
It looks funny... I like the video of Procrastination.... This is so creative.
Hola Kim! I have a very special award for you, congrats!
hi Durano..
you're so right!! I wonder if the photographer was aware of this when he took the photo... very perceptive of you :) :)
hi Atniz..
I found it easy to relate to the person in the video... I have days like that :)
hi Mariuca..
I'll be over this morning.. :) :)
That is going to stink to high heaven.
Hi kim,
I've got something over at our streets, I do hope you like it :)
Hi Kim! How's by you?
The video is hysterical and I think it very much resembles MOST of the human condition, at least from where I stand.
As for the fishy photo, let's hope that one's an aberration! lol....
you can say that again.... Artfiend ..;)
hi Metz..
I'll pop over :)

Kim, it is amazing to see how we procrastinate! I think I do it at times just because I thrive under pressure and perhaps love the rush. Scary.
Nice creative photo that almost startles you into thinking what it means.
hi Boyd..
ah yes you could be right :)
lately I've been at odds and ends with my work and unable to get anything to completion...so I've been procrastinating endlessly...and I haven't even got a tidy desk to show for it ..haha..
the photo certainly makes one ponder eh :)
That is a great photo. I'd never seen that show until the other night.
The internet is a great tool of procrastination.
yeah Cooper..
I certainly think it would have been difficult picking a winner ....
Great photo! A good sense of humor!
glad you liked it Magda :)
I love this picture. It is so interesting to see what the artists mind can come up with. I would never have thought of a taking a picture like this.
it's a unique perspective Renee...
almost like a bird's eye view :)
a new meaning to shooting the chef!
i have some stuff to do. however, i played the procrastination video four times to be sure this video was not about me. i looked at it one more time to be sure before i hit the "post comment"
i am now going to look for tutorials on how to do this animation.
ROFL... Prand
would you like me to help you with the search?? :D
great video isn't it!!.... he is so dry :)
hi kim,
I have been away for so long that I missed out on this one.
Oh my I am starting to learn that photographers really do go to any length and any place to get a good shot.
Oh my this one is an excellent piece....filled with humor, creativity, and a little nutty too..LOL!!
Definitely a winner!!:-)

Hi Kim,
Thanks for dropping by last night and for your wonderful comment.
Coming from you truly meant a lot from me and gave me a lot of encouragement to keep traveling down this road.
I am so new at it but I love it. Could please stop back by and leave me a link as to where to sign up for your directory.
I thought it over and if you think I should then maybe I should....but I can't find it.
Thanks bunches and no hurry!!
hey Jackie..
I'll pop over to give you the details :)

That photo gives a whole new meaning to the term "Chef Salad"
I wonder if he got caught up in the net while he was trying to get the "freshest" fish around ;)
