The Mango Lady...and Paul Gauguin

It is by chance that I took this photo, I could not resist.

In traffic, listening to the rush hour song of 'beep beep' around me,

I glanced over, and there she was, the mango lady.

Window down, iPhone poised and ready...just a tad to late.

Not the best shot...but those mangoes look just divine.

With mango thoughts and visions of

a real beauty, a painting by

Paul Gauguin.
