Amazing that I was just going to suggest this as a prompt to Cee and then saw in the reader that it was a WordPress weekly prompt. ESP working overtime lately.
In this first photo, my friend in the foreground of the photograph is visiting the town she left behind over fifty years ago. I love the repetition in the backs of the two women as they walk away reflected in the crossing light logo.
This elderly gentleman has been visiting the beach at the same time I do for a number of years. I once tried to involve him in a dice game, but he wasn’t much interested unless it was for money! Instead he told me about his past as an artificial inseminator, which led to a few stories of my own about my dad who was one of the first ranchers to make use of this process on his cattle ranch. I thought he had a bit of a twinkle in his eye as I expounded on the topic.
It was two years later that I met his daughter and related to her the topic of my earlier conversation with her father. She looked askance. Her father had never been an artificial inseminator! What had been his job? He was with the CIA, she explained. Now, was that a twinkle in her eye as well? Guess I’ll find out this year.

I like the story of that old man. I can’t see from here if there’s twinkle in you eye. I can only guess.

I think there probably is. I think he’s a bit of an old rascal. An attractive quality in an older man!!!

I’ve a friend who works for the govt auto insurance company, a desk job dealing with claims for injuries received in accidents. I suppose through the years she learned that revealing her line of work leads to some long stories about the time…
I can’t say I approve of her evasion tactic, but now when people ask her what she does, she tells them, “I’m a sex therapist.” This brings a stunning, immediate end to conversations about work.

I love this post since it reminds me of my lil brother loves taking pics of the backs of living things. Sometimes “the things we leave behind” are more interesting than the things we aspire to. You can quote me on that. 🙂
