In Germany today is Vatertag = Father’s Day. What would be fine, if a father would be able to give it to us? Money, a house, a car, a gun? Some chromosomes for thinking, good memory, empathy, good rites of friendship? Power, not anxiety? Courage? I’m always amused by the “man on a horse”-series of Eduardo Amorim. Though myself: If a horse wasn’t calm, following my will: then I often fell down to the ground. An armchair, is what I prefer.

me, looking into the future with my third grandson:
websites: 1 - my daily wordpress blog "flickrcomments" , 2 - photo pool at frizztext, 3 - flickr group BLOG IT!, 4 - photography news, 5 - twitter etc.
…who wouldn’t?! Happy father’s day, Frizz!
thank you, Marina! And good luck to all fathers in Greece, having difficult times there to feed their families …
Great pictures! Wonderful read, enjoyed it a lot my friend! Cheers from Canada!
hi there in Canada,
I often was amused by another contact in Canada,

featuring some (father-) disasters …
Hi,
Happy Father’s Day, and I like the photo you chose as well, and I agree, an armchair sounds good to me as well.
me and myself in my armchair:
the only problem: this furniture isn’t easy to move …
version, made by my friend Luigi Frappi,
who knows, that I like to play guitar:
P.S.:
often I am surprised, watching my two
daughters and my three grandsons: I am
the guitar man for them …
Happy father’s day to you. Hope children spoil jou
grandsons:
Very cute!
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! Fathers are our backbones, a strong source of strength in the family. We lift up you and the fathers of Germany in prayer today.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
my latest (third) grandson:
it takes time, till he can play guitar
Reblogged this on Ann Novek–With the Sky as the Ceiling and the Heart Outdoors.
thank you, narhvalur, for reblogging – may it help, to support the efforts of all fathers of the world to be a good ground for their families to stand on …
I love the last photo, very sweet.
Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day, Frizz!
The armchair is safer. I enjoyed the photos of your grandsons. Happy Fathers day (and grandfathers day!)
Happy Father Day and Grandfather Day (that is implied, but still is good to hear!)
Believe it or not, Frizz, my own father actually rode a horse much like this in my childhood days. He set quite a profile against the sky in the eyes of his adoring young daughter, he did!
congrats to such a father, Rose! My father was a baker and he rode early in the morning only his bicycle to bring the warm bread (German: Brötchen, Semmeln, Schrippen) to the houses …
Inspiring thought for this special day …
Happy Father’s and Grandfather’s Day, Frizz.
Hapy Father’s Day Dietmar!
Happy father’s day my dear friend. It was good to have one and good to be one!!
Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day! Sweet photo of your third grandson

hallo Wolfgang,
wusste gar nicht, dass das schöne GRAZ auch solche Graffiti Ecken hat. Und Tatoos auf den Häuten auch?
Hope you had a Happy father’s day!
