I love the way his tie is so straight but flying around, and he manages a nice smile in spite of having to hustle to get to his destination. My post for this challenge:

I considered a couple of street scenes, then motorsports and then the plant family. And then went with none of them:

That tie looks like a sword! Are you brandishing your tie, sir? What a great capture. I could have just referred you to my post from last Monday: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2021/12/06/gone-squirrel/ but I decided to make a new one for your challenge: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2021/12/12/your-guess-is-as-good-as-mine/

Ah yes, a well wired tie! But cleverly done. I loved your squirrel almost-capture. And the new post would be a good prompt for a short story.
