Wondering how a fire engine from the City of Naperville found its way to the hotel zone of Cancun, MX.

Jackie

Cancun, MX

On our final day, I took a walk along the beach, camera in hand.  As I passed by, I noticed her painted nails and commented on how spectacular they were.  I asked if I could make a photo of them (thinking macro) when she started posing and displaying her hand.  After capturing a couple of frames, I asked her name, thanked her and wished her a good rest of the day.

Portrait Of My Friend

2022_CLondon52w21: Portrait of a Friend

From the C.London website: "Let’s do portraits! Find a willing model (yes, your dog will do just fine) and work to capture their personality in the image. Pay attention to lighting, posing, and environment, and try and showcase them in a way that is natural for them." 

 My wife and I met he and his wife in 1975 and we only lived in the same city for 4 weeks before we moved.  Yet for 47 years, we've been close friends.  Last week, they joined us for a week in Cancun.   Still hangin' out after all these years...
