    hee hee, this is hysterical. I feel her pain!
    Sometimes I want to pay street performers to stop performing.

    Perfect timing!

    Nice shot, Richard. I particularly like how the bored woman's outfit could almost a modern-day mirroring of the old man's costume. thumb.gif Maybe that's what she's upset about? rolleyes1.gif

    Nice shot, Richard! I think you should invite viewers to submit captions (or thought bubbles), the winner to receive a small edible prize, perhaps mwink.gif

    She's loving them, but is lost in thought: "I should have disobeyed my parents and run off with that traveling minstrel 20 years ago when I was beautiful..."

    Nice fun, thought-provoking (?) capture.

    Take care,
