Isaac - Love it! I got an image of my dad after a large holiday feast - kicked back in his lazyboy chair. :) Posted: 12/08/2025 03:14:21
Isaac - lovely image here! I guess this is after this chap had either just had his fill after a successful hunt, and/or after the excursion of hunting (either successfully or otherwise). There is no evidence on him of just finished a meal though.
