Thanks again to Marty Rubin, Mr. Nothing Profound, for providing another inspirational aphorism…

“I Have No Heroes Except For Flowers and Children“.

Today’s theme is dedicated to those smiley-faced heroes I discover eveywhere on my travels across the globe.

Their natural tendencies toward genuine curiosity, openness, and good-hearted fun allows me easy access to taking their picture. Whether it’s my unique appearance of long hair, beard, and pervasive, amiable (down right goofy) smile, traveling unaccompanied or both that helps me establish that quick trusting bond between us, is anybody’s guess. Could be just one big kid establishing a connection with one little kid. Enjoy!
