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~~~

G'day Jams - hope your week went well. Mine was a shocker. Son #1 wrote off two cars and son #2 sprained an ankle and blew a car engine.
But, life continues and I think I shall get out more family photos and scrap them this weekend. :)
And a fine looking man he is Jams. Where's his bullhorn? Have a good weekend.
Lovely photo of your Dad. I too posted up a pic of my Dad, but at a different stage in life :) Have a great weekend Jams!
