I think a photograph as an excuse for a nice chat is a good idea. Got some shots of a guy doing a painting beside the road last weekend and had a good chin wag as well.<BR/><BR/>When I was a country girl I used to chat to everybody but the city drilled that out of me very fast.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-84503056748451870062009-01-21T12:10:00.000+11:002009-01-21T12:10:00.000+11:00I like the look of this guy around the eyes: shows...<I>I like the look of this guy around the eyes: shows an element of native cunnning and intelligence.

I should!bitingmidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593806233011328620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-29429428107650167502009-01-21T09:40:00.000+11:002009-01-21T09:40:00.000+11:00I like the jut of the jaw.I like the jut of the jaw.freefallinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08863000229609701796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-67657526631414122692009-01-21T09:27:00.000+11:002009-01-21T09:27:00.000+11:00Both posts today bring out the person so very well...Both posts today bring out the person so very well - and what two totally different people you have chosen.<BR/><BR/>I like the look of this guy around the eyes: shows an element of native cunnning and intelligence.
