Joy for Life
This gentleman is 87 years old blind in one eye and he will take you down the river in his boat for one hour for $2.00 US , I wasn’t game enough but was happy to give him $4.00 for the shot, I think I got the bargain but you can see by the smile how happy he was to receive it.
Thank you for your comments and for viewing my work every one,I will view your art work soon.
I like to spend more time in your portfolio than reply to each and every comment I hope you don’t mind.

tsk tsk…why must humans be so judgemental? why say what is so obvious?......it’s funny everyone has sumthin to say about his teeth when there is so much more to say about what’s in this photo, joy, appreciation, compassion…i bet you felt a lil heart tug after seeing that smile…things like that are what really make life worth while…
Kathryn Potempski
