Jim, those watermelons descend on us in a tidal wave in the summer months as well. Howard, yes, all of us were armed with longer lenses, because that was the challenge we set ourselves, in a place where we go only too often, to change the perspective and train the eye a bit. The others had 70/80 - 200 lenses, while I took the much lighter 15 year old Nikon 180mm f2.8, which I really like a lot. It is ages since I "sniped" on the streets.... Douglas, the slap was a playful admonition from the mother to silence the crying child, but the nanny/maid does not look very happy about it, though.
