The postman

I'm always hesitant to take photos of people.  It seems scary to me, mostly because I'm an amateur and I don't want to publish something they might find unflattering.  So when this gentleman paused for a moment whilst making his rounds and made a joke about being in the blog, I jumped at the chance.

He's tough to get a photo of - he pretty much never stops.  The day I got this photo, he was working around the city snow removal crew.  Both of us were very happy to see the city on our street, because parking had basically become an impossibility.  And he needs to come in here every day, 6 days a week.  Yuck.

Even though he works outside in all kinds of weather, I'm not sure I ever remember seeing a frown.  Always has a wave and a howdy-do.  I don't think I ever told him how much I appreciate him, not only because he delivers the mail, but because he's a genuinely positive person.

Thank you!
