Just got back yesterday from Phoenix visiting my parents for about 3 days. I ran around barefoot and in a t-shirt while my parents were in jackets and long pants. Took this image as we drove to DQ for a blizzard. It wasn’t that cold for them. 🙂

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    After living in Europe and US for 4 years, when we finally returned home, we spent the first winter in shorts and t-shirts. By the following year we were back to dressing like everyone else, jeans and sweaters.

    I like your portrait. There’s a wonderful warmth to it.

    That’s pretty funny. It’s just the way that it is. In Mexico, I was out walking the streets in shorts and t-shirts, while the locals were all bundled up, heads down like it was actually cold or something. 😀 Nice portrait of your dad – on the way to DQ. Does he ever get tired of you pointing the camera at him? 😛

      He has not said anything yet but my sisters and mom have. When I picked up my granddaughter from school this afternoon there was a young lady walking out of school with no shoes or socks. She was the same way yesterday. Now that’s too cold for me.

    Well, I have to admit my cravings for ice cream tend to go down in the winter – but it certainly doesn’t last all winter! You need something to cure those winter time blues, and Scotch doesn’t always do it. 🙂

      I use to indulge, sometimes too much, in the Single Malt Scotch before bedtime. Those days are over as well as the money spent on them. I always wanted the top shelf stuff. 🙂
