    I like it, at first I only saw the woman and then as I scrolled up saw the figure lying prone below. Has a good story, does she know the man and is waiting for him to wake up or did she sit down afterwards and feels like he's violating her quality of life.

    John - Don't know. I grabbed the shot in passing but just spotted the look on her face. Whether that was a reaction to the slumbering gent or to something on the back of her hand, I couldn't tell. The scene just struck me a being a slice of life.

    Izzie - I suspect that he was sleeping comfortably in the arms of Bacchus.

    Don't go the way Bill is going, friend...I think he is still under his pain medication or something. He forget what I told him only moments ago sometimes...

    Yup! Apart from the ill-effect of the anesthesia, he is fine...I was just telling Benjy awhile ago about Huey jumping up on him and putting all his weight on Bill's wound then when Bill let out a yowling cry that can be heard miles down the street, he wondered why...Bill laughed it out later on and said that Huey looked at him as if saying "Ain't I a cutie, Dad?" Actually, Huey is the dog of my stepson, Bill's son...

    Thanks for asking...

    Nice to hear Izzie. Hope he is back on his feet soon.

    Kay, thanks for the comment. I find street photography difficult at home but much easier somehow when I'm somewhere I don't live. No idea why.
