Ladies' Man?


He doesn't look too happy but in fact this old boy fancies himself a bit as a ladies' man. He can be charming. He's sitting at the base of the old Elm in Gorbio village. Written on the base - far left - words to show it was planted in 1713. Tomorrow, I'll show you where this gentleman lives. You might be suprised.

(Internet & phone still down. Hopefully up by Wednesday. Am posting from a cyber cafe - very sorry but can't comment for the moment but thank you so much for your comments. Will catch up as soon as poss).

    The old guy seems to think he's a protector of the village. Perhaps he was, piantato nel, a year not long after !
    Let's see what tomorrow shows.
    Lovely shot, Jilly.

    He looks a bit rough on the edges but his fingers are large and that is a good sign. He probably lives in a smaller castle.

    I am no longer surprised by anything, Jilly.

    After George W. Bush got to be President of the United State by a majority vote of the Supreme Court, anything is possible.

    Jean de Florette came straight to mind. It's a wonderful portrait. I'm so intrigued now to finds out where he resides.

    My laptop troubles are over, so indeed you have my sympathises. Nothing worse when doing a daily post when technology lets us down.
