Hmmm, we did feet and paws last week, so I have to be careful what images I yank out of the archives for this week’s Fun Foto Challenge by Cee:

“This week our topic is Legs and Feet. If you are wondering, yes, shoes on feet count for this challenge. I so hope you have some fun with this topic.”

Making it even harder to avoid overlap is the fact that Linda G. Hill’s Just Jot it January prompt for today is Canine. This comes courtesy of Dawn. Pleas visit Dawn’s blog.

My wife and I will celebrate our 40th anniversary this year, but this is our first year without a dog in the house. I could fill the gallery with canine legs, but I have also made lots of legs out of wood and metal in my workshop.

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.

  1. I love that picture of Faith. Obviously, I don’t know her at all, but it just seems so “her.” :)

  3. Hi Dan – congratulations on 40 years (to be) … great to read about and to see Faith ready to go without boots! Legs and feet … excellent subject … mine were female Roman on King Arthur somewhat bemused – albeit statuesque! Always love your photos … cheers to you three – Hilary

  6. What a great assortment! I seem to remember a couple of these — like all the legs on the couch. I still think Maddie was trying to hold you down. I can’t imagine anything happier than a cat near a wood-burning stove. Your mention of a 40th anniversary got your readers’ attention — here’s a WOW for each of you, and may the whole year be a very happy one!

    1. The 40th mention did get noticed – more than I thought it would. I think it will be a good year, even without a dog to hold me down. I used one of those legs-on-couch photos last week for “Feet and Paws” but I couldn’t resist going back for another. We used to joke that if something happened to me, my wife would have one of my legs stuffed.

    Dan, I’m so disappointed. All those great legs but not one photo of yours! :+) Always a treat to see Faith.

    Congratulations to you and your bride on your soon-to-be 40th Wedding Anniversary! Now that’s a proud accomplishment and as my dad used to say, “something you can hang your hat on.”

    Hope this is the start of a nice week full of laughs and pleasant surprises.

    1. Thanks Ginger. Sorry about the WordPress woes. Just so you know, I will have a post tomorrow, to wrap up JusJoJan, once Linda releases the prompt.

      My avatar does have a shot of my legs, but beyond that, they’re an unlikely subject.

      I hope you have a great week. Looks like we’re in for some winter temps toward the end.

    1. I have several months to find something ruby-like, Lois. Thanks for the heads up. And, it’s not a doll, it’s an action figure. And since it’s Picard, it’s pronounced fig-gur. The gull is from one of those business visits to your state.

      1. Did you see Spaceballs? Dark Helmet is playing with his action figures (‘fig-gur’) and Colonel Sanders calls them dolls. Everything about that movie made me laugh, but I thought of that when I saw your Picard.

  21. Do those of your woodworking really qualify as legs and/or feet?

    Liked by 1 person

    1. Good question. I think they are mostly all legs. However, the cabriole legs of the table on the workbench do have “feet” at the bottom. The idea with that design, is that, if whatever has those style legs is sitting on carpet, the feet make the legs appear to float above the surface and make the piece look lighter.

Sounds “corney” but it was like the Roberta Flack song First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. We got married end of 2nd year of college and when we were done with college, moved to Denver. We waited until our late 20’s to start a family. We had some ups and downs in our 20’s but worked through them. The rest as they say is history. It truly blows our minds how fast the years have gone by.
