When I saw the name Leonardo I just had to come and look my husband’s name is Leon and sometimes his good friends call him Leonardo as a form on endearment LOL I am sure you will understand if I say my husband is extremely handsome, it is only the name the two of them share.

    Leonardo is a charming shot of a rather ferocious looking hog. He looks like a pig with good grooming habits. LOL! It is a fine capture, too. Very painterly. Take care. Cheers!

  • Wayne Cook

    Wayne Cook

    Poor Leonardo,
    He protrudes knobs like
    Baklite radio,
    Eyes behind lightless dials,
    Broad face with no label,
    Will he blare jazz, or dance Big Band,
    Amonst the trills of classical guitar,
    Or stand there, the wall flower,
    A morning without music to soften his features.
