During an evening wander with a few members of Kelowna Photo Walks,
I saw this beautiful young woman
just chilling with her book, a coffee and a cigarette.

Instead of trying to get a quick sneaky shot,
I just asked her.

I love the results.

When in doubt,
it is best to ask.

Me,
now 60 years old.

One of the some 35 million (and growing) lottery winners.

Thank you all,
blessing to our times,
blessing for today
and each day to come...

At birth I feel like I won the lottery,
but that is no reason to pull up the draw bridge,
and become oblivious to the world around us.
