The Beards are Back. by onewing

The Beards are Back.

Friday people day again and you will notice that the beards are back.

I am posting a bit early again today because we are off to the cinema this afternoon. I was planning a day at home, but as the saying goes 'all planning is flexible'

I was taking photos in Maitland recently on a very wet day and this chap walked up to me and started chatting. I think he was a little bit lonely, so I had a lovely chat to him and then asked if I could take his photo.

He was such a cheerful chap on a very wet and cold day.

Today's topic photo - Newcastle

He looks like a happy fellow

What a wonderful weathered face, bet he was really chuffed to be asked for his photo to be taken, I'd say you made his day Babs :-)

@karlow75 Thanks Kane, had a lovely time at the cinema. Don't go too often so it was good. Very windy tonight though and you could hear the wind blowing the roof of the cinema.

@hermann Thanks Sally, he was a lovely chap. He came up to me while I was taking a photo of one of the buildings in Maitland and asked me all about it, we got into a lovely conversation and I think it cheered him up when I asked if I could take his photo. I said I loved taking photos of men with beards as they looked so interesting. I think that is why I got the lovely toothy grin. ha ha.

It's a great shot and I'm sure he was pleased to get his photo taken and have a chat. Well done on both counts.

Lovely portrait! I'm sure that you brightened his day!

You sure can attract them, Babs. I think he's delighted a hot Mama took an interest. :) Don't need all them teeth anyway. LOL

Lovely happy portrait

how gorgeous - sometimes all it takes is a chat
August 30th, 2014  
Nice candid portrait. I bet he has a few stories to tell...

@april16 @kathiecb @flyrobin @wanabe @thistle @annied @peadar @eyesmile @jackie8 Thanks so much. I hope I cheered up his day. I don't think he was actually homeless, but I don't think he was far from it. I think he just wanted to chat to someone and was probably a bit lonely. It was such a wet day too. When he had moved on David appeared again as he had been taking photos in a different street and he said "Who's your friend". Then said "We aren't taking him home are we". That is because I always end up talking to rather off beat people. ha ha.
