I can see you waffling about the interruption then taking a breath and going for it!! I love your strength and passion in your pursuit of a photograph, interaction, knowledge and your own growth!

I was JUST thinking about you, Viv! Waffling was exactly what I did! That's the perfect word! Thank you, friend, for your support and encouragement. I want to be that for you, too. We will one day walk along the Thames together, I'm sure of it!

Not a flaw at all. It takes courage to do artistic work. Just as the previous comment, I love your passion and strength for life--and the 11 mile walk--wow! Thinking of the song verse and scripture "Be bold, be strong, for the Lord thy God is with you! Be of good courage and have faith. Thank you for sharing your walk, and capturing that scene--it is a perfect shot and maybe a bit prophetic! Love it! The Lord is with you!

On a side note, I just have to share how I identify with your feelings on approaching him. One time I asked someone if I could draw their bare feet as they were reclining at the airport--I needed to fill up my sketchbook for my life-drawing class. I was a bit embarrassed to ask, but they said, sure. It was very awkward spending the time to study and draw a stranger's feet. :)

I appreciate learning from you Renate, through your ventures into this world, interactions with people, and artistic insights. Thank you. God bless you.

I applaud your fortitude! Don’t ever shy away from a perfect photo opportunity, promise???

This was beautiful and wonderful as always. I’m thoroughly impressed with your “strolls”. Thank you for taking us along again. I love the pic of the man and his dog, including ET in the sky.
