Project 365 - Day 100 (wow!) - My Garden Gnome is a TFC supporter....

So, yeah.  We have a little bit of a problem.  It would seem that if there is a TFC logo on something, it has to end up in this house.  It's not a serious problem, not like we're missing mortgage payments or anything like that, but it does seem to get to a point where we don't have a lot of room for the things we - ahem - procure.

I thought at first that it was only my problem.  But there was a recent incident at the Team Store in BMO Fiield and a couple of pairs of socks ... let's just say they weren't men's socks. 

We originally bought this guy at the end of the 2011 season.  That was the first time we saw him.  We thought " This would be a good gift for the family gift grab" as we knew that there were members of the family that would want this little guy.  The plan, of course, was to work together to end up bringing him back home with us again.  Well, that plan didn't work out and we ended up losing him.

So we bought another one, and he lived in our "green" room - aka the Den - for a couple of months.  But you know, spring is here and he really belongs outside.

The red of his uniform is a stark contrast to the "blah" colours around him.  I used a wide aperture to blur the background and used natural light.

Here's the shot:

 

24-70mm lens, at 40mm.  1/250s shutter and f/2.8.  I warmed it up a bit in post, and cropped for content.

Roses are red

So is my gnome 

He's got a soccer ball

Nothing rhymes with gnome
