Appreciation

Even when I was married, I looked at other women. It's natural. When an attractive woman catches your eye, you are genetically programmed to look at her. It's not perverse, it's not (necessarily) lustful, it's just appreciation.

This morning, I stopped off for a capuccino in a local coffee shop and sat down just a short distance away from a woman who personified that effect. She was not showing herself off; as far as I know, she was completely unaware of my presence. So, after reading a text message, I switched my camera phone on and caught this candid shot of possibly the most attractive woman I have seen in some time.

I have no idea who she is, nor whether she is single or married. If she had looked at me I might have smiled, but as I said earlier, I am out of practice at this sort of thing. I finished my capuccino and left to complete my morning chores.

If anyone knows who she is, perhaps they'd be kind enough to drop me a line and let her know she has a secret admirer.
