Cuando vi la escena, no pude evitar tomar mi camara y tomar la foto. Justo despues descubri que la gente por fin noto que un se�or pedia limosna . . . . . . . . Editor's Translation . . . . . . .

My son and I were spending the day together taking some pictures along a back road in the direction of Sequoia Nat'l Forest, when we came upon a small ranch with horses...
