Saw this old fella at the Cortez Seafood Festival a couple of weeks ago. I like his expression... and his hat.
Please pray for Bella.
Bella Update: 10/12/08, Sun. Bella's in good spirits; we had our morning walk and a squirrel crossed her path. Highlight! Bella will see her doggie cardiologist again on October 14th. As always, God's good blessings and answers to prayer are our continuing hope. Blessings to all.
Bella's miracle, the one we're all praying for, is still a day by day process; it may take a bit of time for completion. Bella's battle for life, wellness, and needed healing for her heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run. Bella and I thank you for joining her prayer "team" around the world. Each of you are truly special blessings to us.

@Mandy: Hmm, thanks Mandy. I hadn't thought about the mirror image thing before you mentioned it here. Cool idea.
I like the expression too.

Oooh that IS a cool hat. He looks very wary though. So I'm not sure he'd give it to you. Great candid shot. :)

I agree, he looks wary. Good catch!

Very nice candid shot, VF. He definitely has a face full of character, and your shot conveys a real sense of the festival atmosphere.

He has a very solid look of character and his hat really suits the salty image. Looks like the kind of man you could learn a lot from. Excellent image, VF.

I love his expression, he reminds me of Sir John Mills the actor, when he was a bit younger. A great catch VF.
