The rules of Five Photos; Five Stories are to post a photo a day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph. Oh yes, and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge. Thanks to Dianna of These Days of  Mine for tagging me to do this challenge.  A great one for this time when I am feeling super busy and need a simple blog challenge. 

Day 1

You have met them.  Those characters who live life outside the box.  Who refuse to conform.  Who are comfortable in their own skin. Those who march to the beat of their own drummer.

Meet Danny.  Danny was one of our removalists when we left Saunders Beach in Queensland, Australia.

Danny was colorful  Even without his tattoos he was colorful.

He lived life full on.  I could tell.  He had an infectious smile and loved life.  He loved his job and being with his mates.

He treated our household items with respect and consideration and kept us amused at the same time.

He happily posed for a picture for me and it reminds me of those days when they were packing us up, getting us ready to move back to the US where life would continue on to another adventure.

Life is short. Grab those moments.  Enjoy the characters who pass your way and remember to look beyond the outward appearance.  I would like to share the fun and tag Katy of Learning As I Go in this challenge if she wants to participate.
