"Leaves of Grass"
I chanced upon this chap today whilst walking the dog. He was sitting by the path reciting poetry. It was appropriate that he was reciting from a book of prose titled “The Complete Works of Walt Whitman” hence my title for this image ” Leaves of Grass”
October 2007
This image is the front cover on my calendar “Autumn”
rather appropriate don’t you think
