Once there was a word, and the word was ‘Gallery’. And from this word there came a theme. And whence Tara of The Sticky Fingers spake the theme, they did come.
They did come in their tens, in their hundreds, in their millions. They did come to bear witness. To weep, to mourn and to laugh. To learn, to dream and to buildeth a new world. A new world of friendship. Of humble sharing, of declaration, of CONFESSION…(gulp)
So yeah, for this week’s theme I give you my Dad, who in one photograph pretty much covers all of the Seven Deadly Sins. Honest!
Let me explain;
Pride – Grandad was so proud of his colouring skills he got a little grumpy when Miss M decided to add a scribble flourish of green to the lovely pink bit he was shading so beautifully
Wrath – When I say a little grumpy, I mean he was angry, you know wrathful, in a small, tiny, kind of ‘only visible to family and penguins’ kind of way
Envy – He really wanted the green pencil. You can see that right?
Lust – I mean, he REALLY wanted the green pencil (sorry Dad)
Greed – He actually wanted all the pencils. Tsk.
Gluttony – In fact, he wanted to eat the pencils
Sloth – There is actually a small sloth sitting just beside my Dad’s right elbow. (Ok I cheated a bit on this one but I don’t think anyone will notice…)
Sighhhhh, so my dad is sinful.
Miss M of course is a little angel, as is Miss E who was giggling beside me when I snapped this pic on my phone. It’s not the best shot but I really love it.Now I suggest you head off to lovely Tara’s to get a peek at all the other sinners out there. I’m really looking forward to this one.

That is just absolutely perfect. All in one photo (with a little cheat on the sloth). Pretty good!

Very impressive – all 7 in one photo! You can see by the motion blur that Miss M is really going for it!

That is brilliant. I’m sat at work and managed to pretend that the snort of laughter I just did was a sort of sneeze/cough!
Brilliant post!

This is great! I love inter-generational stuff. Her green pencil is moving so fast it’s blurring!!

I bet your dad is now lusting in all of the female attention he’s getting here
Lovely interpretation, it won’t be long before they both have to have their own pics to colour in!

This made me giggle….and I like the way the sunlight bathes them. :0)

I would suggest that there’s a little cheat on gluttony too…. unless your dad has some *very* odd pregnancy cravings…
Made me laugh though! Thank you!
