Pink Lady sighting! Max, a gentleman originally from France, goes for a walk by the waterfront every day. He usually sees the Lady wandering, but never had a way to capture her image. His grandson gave him a digital camera for his 85th birthday (happy birthday, Max!) so today he took his first picture with it. Stunning! Thanks, Max!
