Your gallery is wonderful!! I am truly in awe!! I think of all your photos this is the one that most caught my eye! He reminds me of a wise man yet there is that twinkle in his eye that tells me he is somewhat of a prankster. I really like the personality characteristics you captured here. Donna #2318168
