Once again a very difficult subject.
So many parts, so few photos. I rarely take images of myself.
So this week, after much reflection and cogitation, I chose a very important part of myself.
Without this part I would be unable to do many of the things which makes me human.
My opposable thumb. Grasping at the intangible.

I knew I had forgotten something! LOL
Hands tell a lot about a person.
Great shot.

That’s a great take on the theme. Have a great weekend
I knew there would be lots of hands they are so who we are
That’s an excellent photo! I love the clarity of light and shadow against the distant trees. Never mind the importance of the (vital) opposable thumb, this is a great shot.
Great job! And so true about needing a hand for so many things in life. Have a good weekend.
Very thoughtful post. And great photo.
Great idea!!
Hope you have a very wonderful weekend.
That’s an original idea. Cool shot. Happy weekend.
Cool idea… this is the most important part of mine too, Without them, i would not be able to photograph a lot of interesting stuff

Absolutely essential I’d say, the old opposable thumb. Another freckled person like myself, I see.
It is very interesting to see who posts a photo of themselves in the whole, so to speak, and who and how others of us get around doing that creatively.
This is the most original post so far! I love that you took a pic of your thumb. lol
great shot Archie! thanks for the visit.

@ everyone else, thank you for visiting, I think I got around to everyone’s entry
Rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise and it looks like the south side of a tail-less horny rhinoceros facing north that’s missing one important part of its anatomy. I’m outta here.
