Now who say men can't do this? 🙂 here is a prime example for the record, whilst editing this photo with one hand (mouse) i was rocking tickles (nearly 3 months old now) to sleep (which only took 30 minutes 🙂 ) and discussing the finer points of why chaos (4 year old) should go to sleep even though she was sleepy but her feet were wide awake, ie walking around at 8:30pm – this rates up there with some of the best of a 4 yro's logic.
Here another example:
chaos: 'dad, ya know what'
me: 'what?'
chaos: 'we should get a icecream'
me: 'no'
chaos: 'but it s really hot day and it will cool me down'
me: 'nope, drink some water.'
chaos: 'i'll share it with you'
me: 'no'
chaos: 'it will help me go to sleep.'
and it goes on 🙂
anyway back to the multi-tasking…
Picture…YES…Light..
+Gerard Blacklock sensational image .. but I couldn't help thinking there's a little bit of 'icecreamery' happening in the colours here.. (or could that just be cos I agree with your 4 year old?? I mean that WAS a pretty good argument in my books!)

Just did read your multi tasking lines and have to thank you for making me laugh so much, sending greetings to you Gerard. Have a great day :))
Good shot +Gerard Blacklock
Superb capture. :-))
Great atmosphere here, superb photo!
I'd say your multi-tasking abilities are pretty remarkable, Gerard! 😉
I rarely try to combine my 3 year old Elliot with anything where I need to focus since he seems to have a 6th sense about those things and simply can't stand that I focus on anything but him, what he's doing or strangely enough, nothing at all!?
Awesome work with the photo too! 😉
Thanks +Yvonne Dawson and +Arne Lepla

you know what, she actually wins most of the logic arguments with me – she thinks outside the box…or should i say..not like a adult..
I think you are correct, there certainly is some icecreamy going on in this picture…dammit, 4 yro mind control, i'm done for.

i feel your pain, i was lucky i had the advantage due to the late hour and she was wearing down otherwise it would have been a different story…
btw, Elliot is a really nice name – thanks for the view and comment mate.
Thank +Prem Kumar Gutty have a great weekend.
Lovely picture +Gerard Blacklock and sorry but, totally agree with chaos – ice cream it's just the best treat at ANY time, especially at night on a hot day! Tee-he ;P
hmmmm +Grisel C. 🙂 its a slippery slope and i am half way down the hill….. i did give in on this occasion…after quite awhile i might add.
+Gerard Blacklock lol!! Yep, Resistance is futile as they say 😉 Mind you having said that, it IS a lovely image you (both) have produced 😀
That's is some impressive multitasking +Gerard Blacklock and a beautiful calm image to boot 🙂
i am very proud of my multitasking +John Dunne , thankyou very much 🙂
Beautiful shot Gerard but I loved the conversation (you and Chaos) more to be honest! 🙂
haha, fair enough +Nikhilesh Singh thanks for looking and commenting mate.

Yeah but I want icecream too 🙂
+Gerard Blacklock – when we chose his name we didn't think much of the meaning of it. Checking it up later, finding one explanation saying that it means "elf-ruler" certainly makes sense although he isn't very meticulous about whom he tries to rule over. 😉
Artistic !!!
