Day 525: Give me a Tip-orillo

I added this new photograph to Creative Journey in my Photography section, Smokin'

theme this week:
"Smoke 'em If You Got 'em"


I'm highly sensitive to cigarette smoke, so am not around smokers much these days. I just about stop breathing if the smoke gets even a little thick. But there's something about cigar smoke that draws me in.

As a kid, my dad's business partner always had a cigar in his mouth. Ol' Russ was a kind man. He had a lot of patience where my own dad had very little. When Russ bent down to give me a kiss on the cheek, I get a big whiff of his unique aroma.

Now, every time I smell a cigar, I look around for Russ.


[no ... this isn't Russ ... just an old friend of mine]
