Gritty, the Philadelphia Flyers hockey mascot winding up to throw a cake at a person in the foreground. She stands with her back to us, arms akimbo. We can only see Gritty’s right eye, his hockey helmet, and part of his bright orange jersey. The sky behind him is bright blue and there is a crowd surrounding the spectacle. 1/3
Gritty rises up as he begins to take his swing, cake in hand. His right eye is higher and more obvious that in prior picture. The volunteer/victim in the foreground remains arms akimbo. 2/3
The cake has been thrown at the face of the volunteer/victim. She remains with arms akimbo, but the frosting wraps around one side of her head and chunks of cake wrap around the other. Gritty’s right eye is visible and focused on his target. 3/3.
Spouse & i did our 5th #Gritty5K Aside from the
#CakeInTheFace that the offspring & I got one year, this sequence of shots from this AM are some o the best I’ve gotten: beady #Gritty eye, frosting wrapping around her face, her arms akimbo. Thanks #flyers 4 a lovely annual distraction from real life
