I LOVE CATS

Late afternoon at Main & Broadway

Pretty, pretty, pretty good.

A bald man wearing a very beautiful thrifted slate-blue Donegal tweed sport coat

A kind, gentle & stylish man walking away from the photographer through an alpine meadow in late summer or early fall. Blue sky; rolling grassy brown ridges; scrubby green high-level trees. He's wearing a wide-brimmed canvas hat, a checkered flannel workshirt, worn brown cords, battered hiking boots, and carrying a misshapen old-school canvas backpack on his broad shoulders. Hands in pockets, strolling along through warm sunlight. His face isn't visible but I imagine him smiling, enjoying the warmth on his freckled skin as he strides forward into history.
