As I sat on a picnic bench 20 feet away from these gentleman farmers I couldn't help but stare.
I know it's not polite, but they were all so interesting looking, and not at all aware of me and my camera.
I suppose they made me think of my "Papa" - my great grandfather and his son, my Grandpa, and how my time with them was precious. If only they could see me now. They'd be proud.
Wednesday morning - the good old boys get together and shoot the breeze; an old timey conversation and some coffee.
Not much of that goes on anymore - we've all become busier, faster, "go-go-go" and for that alone I suppose it is why I sat still and absorbed them. They were content to just sit and talk. Not one had to "go to a meeting," or "get to work," or rush home to watch the news.

These are fantastic photos and demonstrate your point so well!
Wonderful! Simple idea but ... so much thought! Thanks for the reminder to slow down and see what's around us.
