Tres charmante

"May I take your picture?" I asked. "I would love it!" she answered and posed. It happened yesterday, at the Yves Saint Laurent show gift shop in the de Young Museum. I didn't ask her name, but she volunteered that she was visiting from Montreal (I think) and had stopped at the museum while on a bike ride around San Francisco.
 
Sometimes I'm surprised at my own audacity, but I'm a real sucker for beautiful women. When I take pictures of flowers or birds, people say "oh, what a great picture!" When I take pictures of beautiful women, people say "you're a dirty old man!" I don't understand!
 
Now look at the picture again. Can you blame me for having forced myself to overcome my natural shyness?
