Sport: to play or frolic. Two children having good sport jumping over waves. This was the south of France two days ago - lovely and warm but occasional heavy clouds.
Sport: an active pastime or recreation. I first spotted a number of classic cars going through a service area on a motorway in the south of France. I eventually caught up with them two days later. They were taking part in a rally which follows famous routes - Sulle Tracce dei Famosi. In this case they were to follow the route taken by James Bond in Golden Eye, down the Moyenne Corniche and then to the Casino in Monte Carlo.
Sport: an organism that shows a marked change from the parent. This picture was taken in the Camargue two days ago. I was very taken with the contrast between the few grey flamingos and the mass of pink.
Yes, I know that young flamingos don't really count as sports because they all start off grey and don't turn pink for a while, but I'm hoping you'll be good sports and let that pass.

Nice shots. I wondered for a sec if the Mini was off for an "Italian job". I diddn't realise sport had that alternative meaning. Happy weekend
ReplyDeleteMonte Carlo rally. That was so big in the 60's! Full TV coverage and everyone knew all the drivers names. No one cares now.
ReplyDeleteI guess someone's been looking in her dictionary -- and produced a great blog entry as a result! :b
ReplyDeleteNice shots!^^
ReplyDeleteThanks all!
ReplyDeleteI happen to know the odd definition of "sport" because once upon a time I thought I might be a biologist. That was before computers took over my life. Little difference between them. :)
The Monte Carlo Rally, I'd forgotten about that too. It all seems to be about the Grand Prix these days.
I will....I will be a good sport...that flamingo being brown/gray at infancy, I didn't know! I learned something.
ReplyDeleteMy Sports entry is HERE
Hope to see you over at Hootin' Anni's today sometime. Have a great weekend.
I used to sport a moustache-thank goodness they went out of fashion!
ReplyDelete@Mike, I couldn't come up with anything to illustrate that. I'm glad they went out of fashion too, from the receiving end. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the different take on the theme. Nice shots! Here's my entry. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteGood job!
ReplyDeleteI only went as far as to know why the sky is orange and blue.
You have some beautiful photos. And cat javelin sounds like a fun sport to watch!
ReplyDeletevery nice photos, a.! oh, how i would love, love, love to be able to travel to france with my hubby & baby! but i guess travelling will have to go tothe back burner for a while. there are other pressing things we must attend to first. (i'm so jealous!)
ReplyDeleteit is only through your blog that i discovered another definition for "sport." so nice to still be learning things :) thanks!
Very nice entry, I love the flamingo, the car and and the beach scene!
