Hi Debbie
I enjoy your many posts and read them all. I don’t know how you are able to so consistently post such clever and high-quality work but am glad you do. Your fisherman pointing on the boat is excellent. When I saw this week’s Sunday ‘Point’ challenge, the Great Blue Heron’s bill poking out came to mind immediately.
Here’s my offering for your challenge:
Best, Babsje

Great European scene:) Yes, pointing was one of my options too, but when I saw this fence all I could think of was points, points, points! In Holland all these points would have been filed down horizontally, Jesh

I’ve got a pointing finger too, but this one is rigid. Thanks for the simple mention.

I like the feeling of this shot and the idea that things are still being delivered by boat. Mine involves water but the rest is very different. 🙂

I’ve been waiting for weeks to make this point: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2021/05/16/a-moo-point/
after I got muddled up with the preview of prompts. Have you ever tried sitting on a pun? Agony, I can tell you. 😉
I love your scene from canals and rivers, it’s so different to anything around here.

Very good, I also have fingerp pointing for directions, but is that the way for the tumbrel? : https://suejudd.com/2021/05/16/point/

I wondered who else would go pointing finger, and observant Sue caught a great one 🙂
And ooh la la, um peu de French Resistance with the tumbrel? It took me a while to work out what you meant, but yes that’s a great interpretation of the mural.
