Is that a zebra?

I was driving to a family lunch before Christmas. Along the way the passengers in the car said "look - a zebra! To me it looked like an ordinary pony club function until I got out of the car and took a closer look.

I still wonder. Are those stripes natural or are they painted on?

I had nothing on this morning

About 6 am I participated in the photo for the Birthsuitshoot calendar.
I initially felt hesitant to undress for the occasion, as I thought about the legality of appearing naked in a park at the edge of the city centre. Clouds were obscuring the sun, and I missed the warmth of the sunrise. I put my concerns aside and began to enjoy the excitement of joining in with dozens of other participants following the directions of the photographers. I felt relaxed seeing other men and women alongside me, though found the lawn we laid down on to be a bit prickly at first. The photos seemed to take a long time, as I began to feel cold waiting for the last photo to be complete. I am glad that I participated, and look forward to doing it again except would bring more warm clothes for afterwards next time!
I look forward to purchasing one of their 2006 calendars as a memento of the occasion.
