People Watching - and other stuff

I can't deny it, I enjoy spending time idly observing people in public spaces; especially happy people in nice surroundings. People are fascinating, people are beautiful, people are people! If every picture tells a story, that story becomes so much more interesting when a person is the picture. Imagine a picture of a door, a very nice door, now imagine it with a person just coming out of the door. Now the picture (in my opinion) becomes a story. So, here we go on a little walk-about to enjoy being around other people.

These three ladies were having a wonderful time at Osanbashi pier, they even asked me to take their picture with their camera.

At first glance it looked like she was going to give me a knuckle sandwich but she was to sweet to do that.

Having friends is a wonderful thing.

A bit of motion blur here but I don't mind.

Happy girls booking a rickshaw ride in Kamakura.

On her way to do a little shopping (at least that's my story).

You know I love you, I always will 
My mind's made up by the way that I feel 
There's no beginning, there'll be no end 
'Cause on my love you can depend
--Reg Presley of The Troggs

Looks like a waiter from Rick's Cafe

Notice how nice the sidewalks are in this part of town?

I'm sure I had the wedding ring in my pocket.

I'm cool, you're cool... we're cool. That's cool.

I got my Ray-bans, how 'bout you?

I got my Ray-bans too!

Life is good! Yamashita Park, Yokohama

Children are the future.

The wedding march; a glorious day - nothing beats it.

Well, a good cup of coffee is pretty good too!

A good jazz bar is a pretty good treat as well.

A cloudy sky makes all the difference.

A sky like this doesn't happen everyday. It's almost as if an artist painted it.

A damn big ship at Osanbashi pier.

A couple can dream.

I rode that Ferris wheel - once was enough. I felt like I should have got flight pay for being up there. By-the-way, I'm afraid of heights.

Nothing like getting you're buns steamed.

Okay, back to the people watching. Girl power on the move.

 Baby, it's hot out here!

Get me to the church!

A flute player in the park - her music was perfect for the moment.

Most people want friends. It's a lucky person that is blessed with more than one.

Well that's it for the month of September. See you in October!
And, as always...
Thanks for stopping by!
