Sock Love

If you will permit me a wee bit more hubris (although I don't think that is what it is) I had Sue take a few more photos along with the grey and white, beard and sweater pics that I posted yesterday.

Knowing that our town's Pride event was impending, Sue's sister had given Sue a number of Pride-related items when we last met with her. Among said items were bow ties, ribbons, and socks.

While I didn't feel that I could use the socks as such, I can always use another wrist protector. When I work at the computer, I rest my left arm on the desk just above my wrist. This gets a little uncomfortable, but we have found that a little sleeve over the wrist affords some protection. A sock with the foot cut off seems to make a dandy sleeve for this purpose.

Ever since Sue cut this sleeve/sock for me, I have had a notion to make a photo. Of course, I should have the photo taken for Pride Week, but there are many shouldas in my life. 

We tried a few poses. When I converted to mono, I decided to keep the colour in the sock in order to highlight the message.



This next one is the one that I like best. It is the one, or at least close to the one, that I initially had in mind. Mind you, to get this result, I had to crop quite a lot.

Very cute...yes, number 3 is very striking. It's the facial expression! Going to drink to that...with my coffee.

Love that second one!

My favorite is the middle one, but they are all great, as is the message.

Love is not love which alters it when alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove
O no! It is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken.
It is the star to every wandering bark whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Learned it at school. Never forgotten.

I approve of the way you wrote "should have". That's correct. Many people write "should of" or "would of" or "could of" and it drives me bonkers!

I enjoy your annual Pride celebrations.
This is a good idea. The arm sock.
Fun photos!

Great sock and sock photos! I need a fingerless mitt on my left hand/arm at night because the CPAP I use blows cold air on my forearm and wrist all night. Life is so interesting.

What a clever idea and an inspiring sock. ;)

These are wonderful! I have got to learn how to do that with the black and white and color.
