Wanda08_18_04.jpg

OK, it is another "Wanda's Weird Wacky Wednesday". Of course we did something just a bit different. Wanda is PADI certified diver. She is very well versed in reef ecology and biology. She is also my favorite dive buddy.

John, You will LOVE Clive's novels. I like to read them over and over again in chronological order. Although Clive is pretty good about referring back to previous novels so that you still get a sense of the story line and history of the characters. Dirk Pitt is MY fantasy man. (dreamy eyed look) Wanda

Don't slap the back of my head Wanda, but I have to admit, even though I am a VORATIOUS reader, (averaging about 1 & 1/2 books a week,) I have never heard of Clive Cussler or Dirk Pitt before. Since this is about the third or fourth reference to them while reading the Pad comments over the last few weeks, I guess I'll just have to see if there are any of them to download for my Kindle Collection and give him a try.

The truth about this image is that we were curious to see how many "Dirk Pitt" fans would notice the "NUMA" hat and the special edition Doxa dive watch. Clive, if you see this image, know that you are My favorite author! Wanda

Isleman, I agree that Tom Selleck would have made a good Dirk Pitt. Sahara filming is done and in post production due for a spring 2005 release. I'm not sure that I can really get use to Matthew McConaughey as Dirk Pitt.

"Inca Gold" to "Sahara" they are all a "Treasure". Always thought Dirk Pitt should have been played by Tom Selleck. A huge fan here also. Guess that makes you Loren Smith.

I happen to like Weird Wanda Wed. And I am sure this image was far more technical than anyone has suggested thus far. I am sure finding a balance between flesh tones and neon plastic and a shiney watch and a shimmering reflective surface in the background (the pool) was not that easy to get. Nice one you two.

This picture was done as a tribute to My favorite author, Clive Cussler. Thanks to Clive for creating "Dirk Pitt", MY hero! (grin)

Those wide-open eyes caught me right away. Nice clarity.

Wm. Bates		19-Aug-2004 20:22
We don't snowboard...lol

Geez, guys ... is there anything you DON'T do? LOL!

This is probaly the first shot of Wanda where her eyes are not that stunning blue she is so famous for!

Gary Blanchette		19-Aug-2004 13:41
I really like the colors in this photo Bill...

Guest		19-Aug-2004 13:03
Honestly, I don't like the wired Wanda, kind of scaring...I like the sexy and pretty one.

Bill Schoeneman		19-Aug-2004 10:29
I so look forward to seeing your photos even the wierd ones

Guest		19-Aug-2004 05:28
nice shot!

83% odd? 100% FUN!! Wanda, those goggles are SOOOO cool, wouldn't it be amazing it they lit up at night??

Guest		19-Aug-2004 03:53
wow even though this is very goofy... it's also very provocative in it's own way, Wanda's eyes and mouth have a certain sensuality.... Maybe it's just me

Cheryl Hawkins		19-Aug-2004 03:49
It's Wednesday, Wanda's day to pick a pose! A fun shot and your eyes are awesome even behind the mask.

Guest		19-Aug-2004 03:40
Bill, I gotta say... This is weird. Same Wanda, same Bill, but like 83% more odd.
