Kilted on a very windy spring day.

The trick is, spread your legs wide and let the wind blow through you. Keep your legs narrow and you build up surface tension, and your aprons act like sails. Wide stance, and the aprons buckle between your legs and let the wind pass through with very little lift.

I hope that made sense.

Yeah, Walk like a "PROUD" man!

What big hairy git?

I can only see a bearded gentleman wearing a kilt, walking his dog, obviously having been careful to co-ordinate the kilt with the dog. Now that *is* taking Hamish's advice to always co-ordinate your kilt and accessories on to a whole new level!

Did I miss something?

I'm jealous. The weather looks far better than what we had here today.

Thanks also for demonstrating how to make pictures go clicky-pop. I hadn't realised you could do that with photobucket.

Best regards

Great shots.

I think it looks great, and the pup is a beaut!

How, though, have I managed never to see you? I'm in Greenville 2 or 3 times a week, when I spend the night I'm usually at the HI Express in the background where those pics were taken, spend gobs of time milling around the old cemetary - I love old cemetaries - and on the Main Street corridor (my primary customers in Greenville are a couple of blocks down Main street and over on White Horse and Pleasantburg). I don't understand how I've not seen you! LOL

Great pics, though, and yeah, the khaki works fine.

Next time you are staying at the holiday inn, I could see you out my office window.

Seriously, contact me when you are staying there. We could get together. I might be able to fix dinner or something... Something. My diet is mostly vegetarian with the occasional bit of fish. It is not for everybody so maybe dinner might not be a great idea for you.
