As I walked out on the pier in Cape Coral Florida I came upon this elderly gentleman sitting on a bench displaying various toys he had made. He had a bag at his side filled with wooden toys and magic tricks. First I thought he was selling them but after a brief conversation I realized he was not a seller, just a WWII vet who likes to sit in the sun on the pier and chat with anyone who would listen. It seemed the hand made toys were a way to catch peoples attention so they might stop and chat with him. He had a very strong southern accent softly spoken and seemed somewhat lonely in his demeanor. I talked with him for awhile then asked if I could take his picture. He was happy to oblige.

Wish I hadn't cut of his feet but I only had my 70-300 lens and every time I backed off far enough to take his full image people would get in between so I had to move closer.
