Caught this couple sitting down to enjoy their county fair food. Was immediateely attracted to the red shorts and pants and the red flowering plant. First thought that came to mind: this is the male version of the ladies, "Red Hat Society." What a fashion statement! With the red hybiscus, it created a nice little triangular foucus on the red. Felt it also potrayed a timeless image: a county fair date. A few seconds later, after snapping this shot, she fed him an onion ring but the camera was downloading the previous images and would not fire until it was done!!!
