A photo you never thought you would see!

Although we only ever see a back view now, she looks very beautiful here and I suspect she still is. She certainly still has a great head of hair!

Eer !............ Andy......... who is it ? ............. or is that classified ?
Dave.

Well, Dave, this enigmatic lady does appear in a few shots of mine but she is paranoid about having her photo taken so I have to be sneaky. That is why you only ever see back or side views. I have not once (in seven years) managed to take a frontal shot!
People keep asking me (here and before on Pano) why there are no frontal shots of my girlfriend. Now you have the answer and this one, taken from a photo hanging on the wall at her mother's house, is the best I can do.
I am taking a risk that she will see this but in 7 years she hasn't once looked at my photo gallery so the risk is minimal, I hope! (She doesn't mind me sharing a few photos at the time of taking them though, so she does at least have some degreee of interest in what I do!)

Gotcha'... thanks Andy.... I am fully informed.... and I understand what you mean .. as lotsa' people prefer not to be photo'd... if she should spot this post - tell her she should be happy to be pictured...as we all think she's lovely.
Cheers.. Dave.. UK.

a nice try ...

Excellente ****************

Pretty girl Andy, you have been together for a long time!!..... Well done for getting a photo uploaded at last!!... John.

I've known her fior about 7 years, John. This photo was from about 15 to 20 years before I knew her! And it is the only one I have!! She simply WILL NOT have her photo taken!

Sneaky you;-) I guess she still more or less looks the same:-)

Well, sort of, Gudrun!!

zij heeft een lief gezicht ,en een goede vriend,,,die van haar houd !

Lovely comment, Thank you, Fred!

A lovely portrait, Andy. Promise I won't let on. :-)

You did the right thing, Andy! It is a loving tribute to her beauty ever since and always: from what I could guess from your furtive back views when you posted them!

George,
Bea,
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!

Gracias por lo que supone. Ciertamente se trasluce que es una mujer atractiva y en la foto transmite alegría cautivadora y decisión. Eres un sujeto afortunado. También eres más fiel que yo, puesto que tampoco mi mujer quiere que le fotografíe y menos que la ponga en Internet y le tomo pocas fotos, pero algunas pocas compartí aprovechando que ella no las ve.

Lovely expression and smile! You took some risks, but publishing this portrait must not be a reason for blame. Keep cherishing each other!
