Inspiration: When I am able to do so, I love to shoot skateboarders. The problem is that skateboarders are faster at skating away than I am at getting the shot! By the time I sort out my camera, he or she has skateboarded way too far down the road to make for a decent photograph. That sort of happened here. I was trying to get his face, but ended up getting his back . . . but at least he is not so so far away.
So, Cristi of thatsorad just tagged me with the "Over the Top" award. I have to answer these questions with one word (er, sometimes not so feasible) and then hand the award over to others. So here goes:

barney's....my preference, also.
judging from your color blog, i could have guessed red was your favorite.

Weirdly enough, I rarely wear red even though it has been fave color since I was a little kid.

Sofiasophie: I know . . . and with one word answers too . . .
la flore et la faune: You are welcome! I love your blog.
Jowy: It was hard. And I think that I cheated a bit too, or just ignored the rule.
