Photo Hunt - Family
The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is family. Here is a photo of my father
He looks a very distinguished gentleman. His expression reminds me a little of Churchill. but of coz to us over here,most Englishman look the same :) lol
I smiled when I saw his face. I love his sharp, piercing eyes! Shows so much intelligence and the smile shows he's all bark and no bite...smiles. ~~~Blessings~~~
