I don't know this fella's name, but he was smiling and he made me smile back one day when I was taking a walk that just happened to bring me past his residence.

That's about it.

It'd be easy as shooting fish in a barrel to over-analyze and speculate about this photo, what with the sesame street diaper bag...the worn glider... cowboy boots kinda missing the toes (from kneeling in prayer?)... the white plastic chairs arranged in a way that suggest recent company...the seemingly home-made shutters at the windows, but------OOOPS----- there I go again!

This one, I didn't want to say a whole lot about...except that this guy just seemed like a sweet person who simply brightened my day by smiling at me - and he kept smiling, even when I brought out the camera and snapped his picture.

Thanks, Smiley Man!
