This morning’s Page(s) & the odd couple

the odd couple

two days ago, I was walking through the tiny park next to where I live, I noticed a group of three people sitting on the grass. They were gypsies and unfortunately I was so used to see them beg that I was ready to pass avoiding all contact. Suddenly they very kindly said hello, the man and the woman tried to explain me that they were husband and wife and looking for jobs.

I smiled and tried to utter something that sounded stupid, I felt stupid.

Then, the man next to the woman made me a sign, pointing to the camera around my neck and then to his wife and himself… “please take picture together, my wife, please”. How can I refuse, I smiled and took that shot which I discovered later (with my glasses on) was, sweet, better than what I expected and it made me happy. Although their story, the little I knew, was sad I hoped to give them something to keep and that belonged only to them.

I was supposed to see them today, in the same park, but it is raining cats and dogs. I hope I will have the chance to meet them again and give them those photos I printed…he asked for and I promised!

Here they are, aren’t they beautiful? :
