Norman Rockwell Moment - Oak Bay Tea Party

I captured this intent photographer while watching the Oak Bay Tea Party parade. This is an annual event that takes place in the Victoria community called Oak Bay. In a city that prides itself on being British, Oak Bay is the supreme bastion of the jolly olde tea-drinking set. The Oak Bay Tea Party has events over this entire weekend, including an air show and bathtub race today, so I'll be posting more photos soon. In the meantime, I trust all you photographers out there will enjoy this Norman Rockwell moment.

That young man looks VERY intent, indeed. Nice capture. You have a lovely blog. I must get up that way and see the beautiful Gardens. MB

His expression is priceless! Maybe if I kept my reading glasses at hand, I'd be able to use the little screen in the field too. But I go "old school" and use the little window viewfinder instead.

Oh man, you are absolutely right--we've got a Norman Rockwell wall calendar this year, and this fellow would make for a perfect May illustration. :) Nicely done!
