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.

ReplyDeleteThe perfect "foo" shot. She's a cutie pie!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo and gorgeous girl!
ReplyDeleteLovely shot of Maya.
ReplyDeleteWhat'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.
ReplyDeleteFoo is a new word for me. ;-) Fooing dandelion seedheads is fun!
ReplyDeleteI really want to photograph people.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and great post.

What a sweet shot and it translates well to monochrome.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and I love that expression (to foo).
ReplyDeleteLovely portrait of Maya .. what are grandfather flowers?
ReplyDeleteWonderful portrait. Really lovely shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat 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 :).
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this. I clicked to see it better, and it's so delicate. A perfect pose.
ReplyDeleteKewl monochrome photo ... and I love learning new things. She's adorable!
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
How cool! I love your blog already. Learn something new every day! :)
ReplyDeleteFoo 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!
ReplyDeleteHeh. 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".
ReplyDeleteAs for minds in the gutter, you notice who brought it up first don't you!
