Crossing the road

I was walking from my house along Main Street, Ossining, NY down to the Hudson where I would have my usual Sunday lunch by the river. I was a bit early, and the restaurant would not be open for a while, so I decided to sit and watch the world go by. I found somewhere to sit that was somewhat higher than usual. I thought it might give me something different from my usual eye level (sometimes low to the ground) perspective.

At a certain point a woman drove across this crossing on a…well, I don’t exactly what to call the things she was riding on – maybe some kind of scooter. I thought it might make a nice picture. I liked the diagonal line of the crossing, and the man on the other side of the road.

A beard

During a recent walk I came across this guy and his partner/wife/girlfriend. I didn’t know what her exact status was, and I didn’t want to ask.

As I walked by, I was very impressed by his beard. Then I did something I don’t usually do: I turned around, walked back and asked him if I could take a picture. He graciously agreed and told me that this wasn’t the first time he had been asked. I wasn’t surprised.
