Well Don,
Judging by the photo, I expect it was because you were taking pictures close to a park. With a park there are kids, and generally people are VERY leary of "men without kids" taking pictures, especially smaller cameras that look concealing. Unless you look like a photographer (and this generally means big bulky cameras with unhidden gear etc etc) with a photographers purpose, people are bound to question it. Its unfortunate that a few scum of the earth deadbeats (molesters etc) in society have created a mistrustful atmosphere when it comes to our kids and the areas they play in.
Can't say I wouldn't wonder what you were doing as well and likely have kept a pretty close eye on what you were doing and where you were at the time.
