Aussielicious Photography Challenge

Thanks to all those who voted for their favourite bare-assed pic of me.  The winning picture (with 38% of the vote) has been posted on the Aussielicious Photography Challenge along with pics of numerous other smokin' hot men.

The original pic was posted on Aussielicious and resulted in a sudden upswing of blog traffic from many international destinations.  Exciting!  Then, a sweet, sexy new online friend from Toronto kindly performed some Photoshop magic to the original picture (and several of the other pics), first cropping it and then creating a softer and then a more dramatic look.  I've posted these pics below.  Thanks, John!!
My 16 year-old son continues to live with me so I haven't had any gentlemen callers for some time. I'm happy that he's here: our relationship seems to be getting stronger all the time. He goes out of his way to be helpful around the house and to thank me when I cook him his favourite foods or help with some of his projects.

He's a skilled welder and mechanic (self-taught) and is currently converting my snow machine into a customized-, high-performance machine ... well, as much as possible considering it's 25 years old.  My son is well on his way to a career in the trades which are in huge demand in Canada.  I marvel at his skill and self-confidence and have no concerns about his economic well-being in the future.

I'm starting to wonder if my son and my wife have had an argument because he he doesn't seem too anxious to stay at her house at this moment.  Maybe he's going through "a phase" when teenage boys just can't get along with their mothers.  I suspect he'll go back to her house in town in a couple of weeks when he gets a week off for Spring Break. 

It must be very sad for my wife to have such limited contact with her youngest child, her "baby" who she carried inside her for nine months and breast-fed for 20 months after that.

This week at school, I was looking out the third-floor staffroom window during my lunch break when I noticed my wife's car pull into the parking lot.  I watched as my son got into her car and they drove off.  How very odd!!  Maybe he had an appointment which he didn't tell me about?

Later, my son told me that his mother had texted him to come to her house (she lives nearby) because she had prepared a special lunch for him.   It was sweet of my wife to try to do something special for him and I was happy that he accepted.  She's trying!!

Below are two more pictures of hot men from the photo challenge.   Hiram is a gorgeous man but my favourite is Kelly of Rambling Along in Life.  While the view down his back to his bare ass is a thing of beauty, I think it's the wicked, flirtatious look in his eyes which wins it for me.
