I have been driving by this lady for several years as she sits on her porch and watches the traffic pass in front of her house. One day I got up the courage to stop and ask if I could take her photo. She happily agreed and we struck up a friendship. I don't always stop but I do honk most days if I see her front door open and sometimes she is standing in the doorway. Today was one of those days and I asked her if I could get a picture of her as she stood there. As you can see, she once again agreed.
This may not be everyone's idea of having fun but I think it is for her so I am entering this one in the people challenge too
It IS my idea of fun! I met Mr. Askew in my town. He sits on his front porch each morning and friends drive by and honk. I've stopped in a couple of times to "visit" on his front porch! Lots of fun!!
@joansmor She always acts happy to see me @madamelucy Thanks Terri I think I get more out of it than she does @lesip I think she lools remarkable for 97 and still getting around fine on her own. She lives not really near me but on a route I almost always take to go anywhere Thanks Leslie @shutterbug49 I am glad you like the B&W because I debated whether to leave it in color or not. @dutchothotmailcom Thanks Esther I may have to do that. I have before with others I have taken of her @olivetreeann It certainly does and her stories are so interesting @thewatersphotos It sounds like we both have he same idea
Gary @eudora Thank you so much Diane I am the definite winner in thius situation @marilyn Thanks Sissy. Her dress was a beautiful blue so I debated whether to leave it or not. I am happy you got to share that special connection too @monikozi I am so glad you think so Monika @ludwigsdiana Thank you Diana. She always seems as happy to see me as I am to see her. @30pics4jackiesdiamond I do stop and chat and I worried about her a lot during lock down. She lives with a daughter so she isn't alone but for the longest time she stayed inside and I wasn't able to check on her Thanks so much @wakelys Thanks Sue. Sometimes I see her in the doorway when I do and she always waves @kjarn I am thinking she has taken good care of herself to live that long.We really have no need to wear masks anymore but some people still do anyway. @louannwarren Thank you Lou Ann I hope so @linnypinny Thanks Lin It is always a bright spot in mine @juliedduncan Thank yo Julie @jacqbb I appreciate that Jacqueline thank you so much @darylo Aww how nice of you Daryl @corinnec Thank you Corinne.

What an amazing story! We hear a lot about 'kindness' at the moment much of which is self-serving nonsense, but your story is a lovely one of sharing moments and acts of mutual support.. Thanks for sharing!
A fab portrait of the day today. Fav
