Thanks to all of you.Those lamps are located at the toll plaza in the international bridge we use to get into Texas. Sometimes the line is so slow that my eyes begin to wander looking for something interesting.
When I spotted this “family” I didn’t had the camera with me, but I told my daughter about the idea and requested her opinion. Once she heard the title she laughed and enjoyed the idea. No picture yet, but we where already having fun.
The “alleged father” seems to be upset, but the expression of the child is what I find irresistible. He seems to be so sad, depressed and …”bulb broken”?
Dan…is an honor to have you around here.
Kathleen: your smile is my success.
Thank you Marcie…I just visited your gallery and I love those country pictures, specially “Curves”….fantastic.
Mel…thanks a lot. This was a funny story, but not a happy ending. The kid lost his head recently, and his remains will be removed due to an expansion project in the toll plaza. I took the picture just in time.

Thank you Leanne. #1001874Karma Wilson December 29, 2004
Pratacio--this is great in its own way. Funny--good eye--hilarious title. But where on earth have your people shots gone to! I'd like to see more of those! (Like the cross photo--my favorite of yours so far...)Of course I'm a people person...when it comes to pictures that is.

After my exercise titled “26 Scenes” (http://www.pserna.com/26/092104.htm which is in my website but titles are in Spanish only) I haven’t found the chance to take people’s pictures, but here’s one I took several years ago. Hope you like it.Thanks for your message. It meant a lot to me.

I need two nights at the Hilton as well, Protacio! Good eye! #1002110Patricia A. Kuniega December 29, 2004
I'm going to try this with a sign for the Ritz Carlton! It's the only way I'll get there!Protacio, I really like your lamp post family! A great eye that made for a humorous image! Perhaps the child quietly wonders how it is that he came to have these two "hot heads" for parents! #1002390

Thank you ladies.You are right about the ¡§family¡¨ Patricia. ƒº I agree with you. More likely.
About Mr. Hilton here, I took that one in Austin, TX.
That weekend the university¡¦s football team had a game in Dallas, and this fellow here was asking for help to get there. The other side of the sign asked for a ticket for the ball game.
Thanks again
