Click to enlargeTo "foo" is Hebrew-kid slang for blow (air! to blow air - get your minds out of the gutters) - children foo their food when it's too hot, foo the candles on their birthday cakes, and foo the "grandpa flowers".
.
As always, more monochrome shots can be found at Aileni's. Be sure to check out his highlights from last week's entrants as well - there are some truly wonderful photographs there.

Totally interesting and a beautiful photo of Miss Maya!
So sweet. I loved the surprise in your last post - there's nothing like making your kids that happy!
I liked to foo as a kid and also used the buds that are not open as a paint brush. Wonderful picture!
Excellent subject....:-)
I like to Foo when i get hot...lol
I think it's my age...:-/ :-)))
I learn something new every day. Thank you, for teaching me about foo!
The perfect "foo" shot. She's a cutie pie!
Wonderful photo and gorgeous girl!
Lovely shot of Maya.
What's a grandpa flower?
A dandelion gone to seed :). The gray seeds (they are seeds, right?) look like the gray hair of an old man.
Foo is a new word for me. ;-) Fooing dandelion seedheads is fun!
I really want to photograph people.
Beautiful and great post.

What a sweet shot and it translates well to monochrome.
Great shot and I love that expression (to foo).
Lovely portrait of Maya .. what are grandfather flowers?
Wonderful portrait. Really lovely shot.
What are grandpa flowers? Are those what we also call pussy willows?
As for your question as to where my (my monochrome picture was taken; it was shot in the bell tower of my church. And as you can tell the structure needs a lot of repairs, but it is very rich for photography. We are planning repairs later this year.
Grandpa flowers are basically Israeli dandelions :).
Oh, I love this. I clicked to see it better, and it's so delicate. A perfect pose.
Kewl monochrome photo ... and I love learning new things. She's adorable!
Hugs and blessings,
How cool! I love your blog already. Learn something new every day! :)
Foo is also a Japanese slang for blowing (candles, dandelions, etc)! I love your photos and the stories..I might participate in your photo memes of the week when I can!
Heh. In the US "foo" is only half of a slang word. And actually, that's only if it's spelled phonetically. Technically it's "Fu".
As for minds in the gutter, you notice who brought it up first don't you!
