8th - Vegetable Man

Cheltenham, Glos

(non-album, non-released song from 1967)

Just a bit of fun today...I don't normally buy carrots with (what's the word??) those sprouty bits at the top but I had an epiphany in the vegetable aisle in Sainsbury's yesterday when I saw this lot. All it took was a quick flourish from my daughter with the marker pen et voilà!

Looks like Smokey and his friends will be getting some rather select (and photogenic!) carrots this afternoon!

LOL! He's singing a PF song. Cool shot.
I see a lot of girls this colour nowadays since they stopped sun tanning and use tanning creams :-)

Very cool shot of this happy guy, the tan is a bit orangey, but the green bushy hair is way hip. Another good use of the 28mm.

I'll never eat a carrot again - he looks so real,
what a lovely little character he is too.

So clever Doug! A fun photo with a sense of humor! V.
