Photo Hunt: Practical


prac·ti·cal (prkt-kl)
adj.
1. Of, relating to, governed by, or acquired through practice or action, rather than theory, speculation, or ideals: gained practical experience of sailing as a deck hand.
2. Manifested in or involving practice: practical applications of calculus.
3. Actually engaged in a specified occupation or a certain kind of work; practicing.
4. Capable of being used or put into effect; useful: practical knowledge of Japanese. See Usage Note at practicable.
5. Intended to serve a purpose without elaboration: practical low-heeled shoes.
6. Concerned with the production or operation of something useful: Woodworking is a practical art.
7. Level-headed, efficient, and unspeculative.
8. Being actually so in almost every respect; virtual: a practical disaster.

I had to look at the definition of practical to get some inspiration on this one. I have conflicted behaviour in this area. Sometimes like this, I help the kids change and get sand off their bodies and sand off their clothes before before getting in the car and going home, I am very practical and fit most of the definitions 1 through 7. At other times I just pile them in the car and go home and face a big clean up everywhere and my wife thinks that I meets definition 8 a practical disaster area.

We will be doing this more now that the weather is getting hot. Which practical part of me will win out?

Happy Hunting Everyone!

If only the weather was getting hot for us Brits but we need to be lighting the fire on an evening and not washing sand from our feet!

You did it. Great idea. I think this is a very hard theme and I haven't actually taken my photo yet so best be off.

Instead of water use baby powder or cornstarch--before and after playing in the sand--it falls right off. :)

Great shot.

Great job this week! There won't be much sand for those of us in Ohio anytime soon.

Very practical of you to help clean them up. Saves you a bit more work in the end. Good choice.
