Serendipity struck again this afternoon! I first saw this man from the back while walking behind him on the sidewalk and was very taken by his gorgeous mane of long, wavy white hair. I called after him, "Señor...," and he turned around. It was then that I saw his SPLENDID eyes! I asked if I could take his picture , and he agreed, saying, " That way you can always remember me." (Todo en español, claro.) After a series of several shots, during which he changed his pose once, of his own accord, I got his name: Ramón P.

This man embodies dignity and wisdom, to my eyes...as well as great beauty... He has a gorgeous smile, too!

I hope to see him again around the neighborhood!
