Sneaky Kiss by andycoleborn

Sneaky Kiss

Visited my parents down in Hampshire this afternoon ahead of going to see Portsmouth take on Bristol City this evening. I took them for a little drive through the countryside and down to the beach for a few hours.

We started off by driving up to Portsdown Hill which has fantatsic views across Portsmouth, the Solent and the Isle of Wight. I was taking some pics with my Dad's new toy, a Canon 1000D when I turned and spotted him grabbing a sneaky kiss.

Despite being in their 80s and married for 61 years, it's good to see romance isn't dead...

Both are doing well and Dad's recovery from his recent serious illness is really pleasing to see.

After spending a few hours with them, I met up with my mate and watched Pompey play really well and win 3-1... A good day all round...
Great Photo

@uneven365 Erm not sure... It was a blind date and my Mum and her friend, were due to meet a couple of Capt's. But my Dad and his mate turned up instead... Mum is fond of reminding Dad this :-)

lovely moment. lovely pic.
October 1st, 2010  
don't think the tinting to the edges is necessary. the car would give away that the picture is fairly new anyway.
the focus, the concept and outcome are lovely
