PhotHunt: lick

Of course the most obvious picture would have been photos showing our cat licking but he has been totally lacking in any co-operative spirit since our house move, so I've had to look elsewhere.


Cars on a snowy motorway/autoroute in France, some going at a fair lick, or lickety-split.



A small sheet of British definitive stamps, all of which need to be licked before being put on an envelope.  I wish they produced more self-adhesive ones.



An upturned boat on the beach, waiting for a lick of paint.

  1. I love the choices you came up with. That boat is very appealing to me even if it does need a lick of paint. Wishing you and yours a Happy New Year!

  2. Song with "licketty-split" in the first line, and fitting in nicely with the first pic.....

  3. Obviously you are right... it's tiring waiting for the cat to lick the whole day... LOL! :P

    Happy New Year 2010!

  4. What a great collection of unusual ways to think about this week's theme. I confess I wasn't nearly as creative.

  5. What great contribution to the theme - like always from you!

    Happy new Year to you and belated happy BD to your husband :-)

  6. Very Clever. I think you covered most of the uses of lick and did it well. You certainly licked me in that part of the theme.

    Have a great 2010. You can check out my licks here.

  7. Whoah, you don't want to go lickity split on roads like that.

  8. I like the boat, too. Here (off to the left of the UK), to lick means to beat someone up. I'm glad you didn't get a picture of that. I haven't licked stamps in a while. Don't miss it, though. A delightful post. :)

  9. Try rubbing some fish oil on the spot you want the cat to lick.
