You may recall from some of my Flickr-posted images that I had stopped at some guys house and asked if I could take pics of his trees and flowers to which he agreed. Now I have no expectation that he (I later was informed his name is Fred – which somehow fits him) will ever see those images upon Flickr, but as I had some nice images of his trees, flowers and dog I opted to print copies of all and drove back to his house to drop them off. He seemed genuinely touched that I thought to do so and we spoke for a bit, etc. He also said that I should come back any time I wished to take more pictures.

This is an awfully weird coincidence in that our stories are so very similar, yet happened, for all intents and purposes, worlds away. I also think it’s rather nice that we thought well enough of Simon and Fred to thank them in our own ways.

You big softie…..
