Who is this gentleman?

I ride my bike daily along Houston's Brays Bayou. Today I decided to enjoy both my hobbies and took my camera along.

This gentleman was sitting very patiently, motionless and seemingly contemplating. He let me take photos to my heart's desire. Could somebody identify him for me (or is it a her?)
