Oh no Young at Heart. This could end up a health and safety nightmare. Us oldies are gonna be out doing stupid crazy stuff to try and win one of those hand warmers (we feel the cold more) like extreme tree watching, staring into space and maybe even hiking with no poles. There's gonna be a lot of folks lookin for hugs from their Mammies when they hurt themselves. :D :D :D

I sort of had something I thought might fit the topic but couldn't find a decent resolution copy. Didn't have time to hoke through storage hard-drives. Bah. 6:1 good odds too this month  ;)

Well done mudgoat.  I liked the photo because it captures something that we all do without thinking too much.  But when I looked at the photo I found myself thinking - It's a fair drop down / Those rocks could be slippy / I wonder if his boots are grippy?  It captured the "Young at Heart" theme (the grey hair helped)  ;D

Thank you, it's great to win something. Thanks to those that voted, and commiserations to the other great entries (picture 2 was my favourite). Yes, I think the grey hair may have helped, though I am currently working on a new bald look.
