He doesn't sound retired to me. He looks like a nice, intelligent person. A lot of principals are not that way. In fact, working with flowers would be a good pursuit for some principals I suffered under - they were bloomin' idiots!
I tend to agree with Lowell where principals are concerned, but this one surely doesn't look like one of those!!! And what terrific sunglasses! A great reflection for the day!!! Hope you have a super weekend, Jack!!
Good catch, though those reflecting lenses remind me of cops who wear them so you can't see their eyes. Subtle effort at gaining the upper hand. Something a high school principal might use in his bag of tricks, too. Sometimes these occupations aren't all that different, regrettably.
That is one of the better photographed reflections I have seen in a long time. Well done Jack!
ReplyDeleteThose are some sharp, reflecting sunglasses!
ReplyDeleteawesome reflections! i bet he enjoys his new job a little more than being a high school principal!
ReplyDeleteA worthwhile retirement pursuit.
ReplyDeleteBotanical Gardens rely on dedicated volunteers like Mike.
ReplyDeleteCool reflection in the glasses Jack.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure that when he was a principal, pupils used to call him "Hawkeye" ! :o)

ReplyDeleteA high school principal? Not good memories of mine, but I like the perfect reflection in his glasses.
ReplyDeleteGREAT reflection catch!
ReplyDeleteLove the reflection of the listeners in the sun glasses of the speaker - great job!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a crowd you've captured there Jack :) nice one!
ReplyDeleteAnd Mike's sunglasses are awesome ! They look a bit like Robocop shades... ^^
ReplyDeleteThere I go again reading about Mike and wondering where the reflection was until I looked up and saw those magnificent reflections on his sunglasses.
ReplyDeleteHe's gathered quite a crowd for his tour - must be good.
ReplyDeleteFantastic reflections in those glasses, Jack.

ReplyDeleteI'd love to retire and do just that. Nice reflections!
ReplyDeleteAn excellent portrait!
ReplyDeleteA very clear reflection. So there is life after teaching - I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteYou captured a really nice reflection in his glasses.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? I love the reflection and the blue skies you share with the left coast.
ReplyDeleteSeems like this is a great job for a former school principal who loved flowers!
ReplyDeleteI love the reflections.
ReplyDeleteNice reflection shot Jack. I'll bet Mike finds life at the jardin botanique much calmer than high school!
