Last week when I was at the big St. Jacob's Market, I saw this elderly man sitting on a bench away across the the other side of many of the venues.
I call this photo...
ALMOST A SMILE?

This elderly man was sitting waiting for his family at the St. Jacobs Farmers Market and after I took this photo of him from a great distance, he proceeded to straighten his cap and his collar! Once a police officer--always a police officer! He didn't miss a thing!
He was a delightful gentleman. I went over to chat with him later and he had a Police Assn. cap on and he was retired from the Police and is 92 years old!
Here's the same photo in B&W.
Which do you all like best?

You know I like the black and white the best. It seems to give age to the photo.
It would be nice if you had got his address, his family would have enjoyed a copy!
He certainly looks healthy and vigorous for 93. I hope I look that good when I'm that old.
