Actually it was Thursday morning and we were having breakfast in the Fremantle Bakehouse on South Terrace when I spotted the gentleman outside despite the wintry weather, totally absorbed in his crossword. A Freo local I'm willing to bet.. and also that it's more than likely he will be there each Sunday morning also. Hope you have a relaxed Sunday, we're up at the crack of dawn and off on a road trip, tell you about it soon, take care and stay safe..
...something that I never do!
ReplyDeleteA fine way to spend a Sunday morning. Have a wonderful time on your road trip.
ReplyDeleteIf you were thinking street photography, this is a very nice candid shot.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the rain was falling! I don't often do crosswords but my mother and her sisters always had one on the go.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother used to love doing crosswords as does my daughter. I never liked them, must of skipped a generation. :) Have a fun road trip, Grace.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI used to do the crossword every day but haven't done one in years. Have a pleasant journey.
ReplyDeletePerfect retirement! But not for me.... [ I'm visiting your blog! ]
ReplyDeleteA good portrait. Enjoy your road trip!
ReplyDeleteA great pic, Grace! I do crossword puzzles all of the time!
ReplyDeleteI gave up on crosswords years ago. Nice candid.
ReplyDeleteNice capture. That could be me... except I'm a Sudoku guy.
ReplyDeleteVery nice moment.
ReplyDeleteEven though it's raining I think that's a perfect spot.
ReplyDeleteThis is bitter-sweet on many a level, Grace.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it really does not matter which day it is to him. May the crosswords is all that´s left to him.
But at least he found something that fascinates him, that keeps him alert.
(And "wintry", well... ;-)... Right?)
Wishing you fun on your trip! xox
Looks a bit cold and damp like it is here today.
ReplyDeleteSimple rituals which make ordinary life quiet. Have a good journey, and come back with many pictures...
ReplyDeleteThats the life coffee and crossword. Enjoy your road trip.
ReplyDeleteThat he may do that a long time in the future. Have a nice trip.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful shot! So natural.
ReplyDeleteI did a word-search puzzle today!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great picture. Enjoy your road trip.
All the best Jan
He may be an older Freo resident, but your dinki di old male Freo resident would be perusing the horse racing form guide with a Craven A between his lips.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet streetphoto!
ReplyDeleteSo much character in this photo and it has brought out such a variety of comments in your reader. The first thing I notice...... no socks!
