Daydreaming... Wouldn't you love to jump in an airplane and go
wherever your heart is?
Remember, there you'll find your treasure!
One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, "what if I had never
seen it before? What if I knew I would never see it again?"
the beauty of the moment.
ReplyDeleteBig travel plans to see new places in a year! Always savor the thought, 'what if I don't see this again'....Poignant thought. Enjoy this day.
ReplyDeletemy destination would Be Paris....and I will/would cherish every second :)
ReplyDeletei too love paris, david. awesome!
ReplyDeleteNice thoughts and pics!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! :0)
Again nice work Betty, good serie.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
Such beauty in our every day!
ReplyDeleteYour question whisked me home to the canyon. But the quote brought me back to my Mom.
ReplyDeleteNice series of candid shots.
Υπέροχες οι φωτογραφίες σου αγαπημένη μου Μπέττυ !!!
ReplyDeleteΣυγκινούμαι πολύ όταν βλέπω φωτογραφίες από ταξίδια !!!
Ίσως γιατί σ όλη μου την ζωή, ταξιδεύω, όπου μπορώ ...
Πιστεύουμε στην οικογένεια μου ότι δεν υπάρχει τίποτα καλύτερο !!!!
Και το εφαρμόζουμε...
Πολλά φιλάκια
πολύ ομορφες φωτο,με ωραιο μοτο στο κλεισιμο...πάντως ούτε γι'αστειο να ονειρευτω εμενα σε αεροπλανο!(μου κοβεται καθε διαθεση γοα ταξιδι!)
ReplyDeletea daft scots lass, exactly. that's why i am interested in photographing pictures of daily life.
ReplyDeleteWho said every picture paints a thousand words? I feel this very way every time I see the wonderful images you capture.
ReplyDeleteI think I could stand a trip to New Mexico about now. Somewhere in the desert.
ReplyDeleteGreat people photos! :)
ps I've just noticed your random quote box which puts me in mind of my favourite 'not the fizziest drink in the fridge'.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful photo essay. I really like your composition as well as the subjects of your pictures.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from SITS to say hello!
ReplyDeleteCute post. Makes me wonder what everyone else is wondering about. :)
beauitful shots, all of them, i especailly like the feet shots, a lot and the man sleeping with all the bags around him. i am wondering where you were hanging from on the from above? a balcony? a glass elevator? love those shots to. the quote is so true. i like that very much
ReplyDeleteYour photos scream LIFE. This is one of subjects that I really love in photography. Awesome selection.
ReplyDeleteIt's strange when the feelings and the actions of a person can be seen in a photo!
ReplyDeleteaw, petty, thank you. it's a chinese saying, i think. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever post! One truly can look at a photo and come up with a million stories to go with it!
ReplyDeletesandra, i was just hanging from debenhams store's rolling stairs, and it wasn't easy at all, haha!
ReplyDeleteInteresting and fantastic photos...

Oh the joy of following one's heart and letting it take flight in or out of an airplane! ;)
ReplyDeleteI daydream this fantasy every time a jet flies over head. I wonder where they're going or where have they bee? Where do I want to go. :)
ReplyDeleteProbably the best way to take photographs.
ReplyDeleteGreat phOtos!
I love taking pictures around, here and there. Just clicking the button.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your beautiful pics.
I really like the quote.Sometimes I tend to take the common things for granted,but what if I had never seen them before.Hmm,makes me want to pay closer attention to every little detail.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photos.
ReplyDeletePhotographs just among people.
ReplyDeleteWithout any cause.
A very good job,
dear Betty!!
Hugs!
you have such a unique way of looking at the world through your lens. You know I am a big fan of your photography.
ReplyDeleteI love your candid photographs!
ReplyDeleteThose are the best kinds of photos! I never think to take random ones like that but need to do it more often! Hope you are doing well my friend! Love ya and miss you! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteFantastic collection; I love how candid these shots are. The little girl getting her face painted looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteInteresting pictures. Good perspectives and so nice moments
ReplyDeleteprobably the very reason why i stay awake during the night.
ReplyDeletelife's challenges indeed. please have a wonderful friday.

I love to people-watch also... There's a story behind each person you pictured.... Makes one wonder what that story is, doesn't it????
ReplyDeleteI love to sit and people-watch at places like malls or airports... It's just so much fun...
Great post and photos AND words....
Hugs,
Betsy
Live with open eyes and an open mind, travel whenever possible.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend Betty.
Hugs,
Judy
I love that spontaneous photoshoot!
ReplyDeletereally great image of the people from above. my favourite photographer is Martin Parr (so annoyed I missed a lecture he gave recently at Kingston Uni, anyway...), he did a set of images of individual people from above, really outlines the crown/forehead/nose features.
ReplyDeletealso i like the homeless person photo, in the winter in london i kept seeing homeless people with really cool hats !
aw, welcome, fabio!!
ReplyDeleteWhile I love the fact that flying gets you places faster, the flying itself, I hate.
ReplyDeleteI love to travel though I not been outside my homeland India... But then there is so much to see here that one lifetime is not enough to see whole of India!!
ReplyDeleteCame through Petty Witters blog, you have a wonderful space here, will come here often.
Have a lovely day:-)
Thanks for stopping by www.talesofarantingginger.com :) I am your newest follower
ReplyDeleteJesus said, He who has ears to hear, let him hear." and that goes for letting our eyes see, as well. Too often we just don't. These pictures of yours remind us to see. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are great captures of people in all shapes and sizes! I'm not a good observer of people, but my husband is, and you are obviously one too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful quote and great slice of life photos! Thanks for stopping by my place so I could follow you back here!
ReplyDeleteFollowing back from My Creative Way!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures :)

Very interesting people and places ! Travel is always an adventure and an opportunity to meet others - and funny thing is that people are the same the world over, in a different sort of way.
ReplyDeletehello Betty.. great coming by here to visit your blog.. thanks for coming by earlier..
ReplyDeleteEstupendas todas las fotos. Geniales. Buen fin de semana.
ReplyDeleteSaludos y un abrazo.
Having my kids helped me open my eyes again because they haven't seen "it" before. It helps me not take things for granted. I shouldn't have needed children to remind me of this, but I'm being honest.
ReplyDeleteI'm so bummed Betty! The only pictures that are showing up for some reason are the ones of the feet walking on the stone walkway and the homeless person!!!
ReplyDeleteI would imagine then, in my mind, It never happened. Such is the way of separate reality. I loved the perspective overhead photos. Excellent job.
ReplyDeleteI love random pictures.
ReplyDeletePrabably the best way to take photographs. =)
I wish I could obseve people so good like you.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures!!!
hugs
Kiki
Some great people watching...enjoyed the photos!
ReplyDeleteHi Betty thanks for the trip and the inspiration. Carla
ReplyDeleteI hate planes, but I love taking trips in the car! I love this collection of photos. My favorite is the red tennies.
ReplyDeleteThese photos tell countless stories.
ReplyDeleteBe well, Betty.
Hugs! xo Robyn
I have never flew before...
ReplyDeletelove the pictures.

Beautiful and varied series. Without a doubt my favorite is the legs with ripped jeans.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you captured the everyday, but in a special way. It is fun to take the "common" and turn it to allow what can become mundane to be seen with new eyes. Humans are infinitely fun to watch!

There are so many places I would love to visit. It seems like there is never enough time or money for exotic travels though. (At least not while my kids are young. Maybe when we retire?)
ReplyDeleteGreat angles and light in your photos. Provoking text too. I would like to fly to USA to see my daughter and grandson.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic group of photos Betty!
ReplyDeleteI love candids so much.
thanks!
Each photo is beautiful! Thanks Betty!
ReplyDeleteНе that has по head needs no hat.
ReplyDeleteGreat urban shots, a marvel with excellent frames. Greetings.
