Long-suffering husband, Aylesbury old town by dulciknit

Long-suffering husband, Aylesbury old town

This is Lester in typical pose, waiting for his dotty wife to finish feeding her photo taking habit. He passes the time interacting with chums on Facebook and Melodeon.net via his iPhone, propped up against a wall, post, fence - whatever makes a good back-rest.

We went into Aylesbury today to do a bit of shopping and collect my new specs from the specsticians. The ones for the computer are good except my eyes ache, but I'll soon get used to them - there's plenty of opportunity for practice. :-)

This was taken in the old part of town. That's the retaining wall of the churchyard on the left.
Those houses on the right look interesting. The three rows of cobbles are curious. I think Lester may be looking glum because his feet are dressed for summer sun, weren't they frozen, its raining and cold here.

@jennywren It's raining and cold hewre too but Lester doesn't feel the cold very much. He starts wearing sandals in March and usually goes back to shoes and socks around about November time! The cut-offs' season is a little shorter.

He's a 'natural' subject - looking relaxed and not looking at the camera! lol

A good composition. I agree with Hamble it is a very natural shot.

Looks like you've got a very patient husband! Bless him.

I'm so glad to finally see Lester! I really like the composition - the curve of the road and the person walking away. Nice job!
June 8th, 2012  
so patient :))

Love the composition of your picture - and my husband enjoyed my reading him your comment about Lester! Aren't we lucky to have patient husbands??

I love it. It look like a perfect place to stroll and not a bad place to wait the wife out while she indulges in her favorite pasttime.

An interesting viewof the street, makes me want to know what's round the corner! It's husband's role in life to wait patiently!

Fab street scene & great candid! I agree with Brian above, your hubby is well trained! Mine is not as patient at times when I take too long snapping a shot/shots. He has shoes just like that! Tevas, right?
June 10th, 2012  
Great capture,he looks quite relaxed about it!!
June 10th, 2012  
Hello, Lester! Love that he patiently waits for you to get your photo fix!
June 10th, 2012  
Ah, this is a familiar scene. Pity the spouses with photographer partners.
June 11th, 2012

@netkonnexion Lester is very fair minded and regards it as payback for the time I've spent being his Morris camp follower. :D
