I love that scripture from Psalms - it's wonderful knowing that we are never really alone in that way.

That's me!
Happy Monday Cloudia. x
i am more interested in people and characters myself....great quote....aloha from VA
all lovely captures and loved Gore Vidal's quote :)

aloha!
Depends on whose doing the watching and why. We have lost so much freedom to just be as we are that those who refuse to be politically correct or conform to government standards get watched with the stink eye.
Not that the stink eye bothers me but damn go read someone elses email.
I'm watching you Cloudia...haha! I didn't mean that to sound as ominous as it did. I too liked the Norman Jewison quote, huge explosions are no fun at all.
Me sees another person behind the tree of "the girl alone...." DrumMajor
I sometimes, not always, disagree with Jewison's quote. I've seen and see people and characters all the time, every day, in and out. I don't see a lot of big explosions. ;)
I agree with Norman Jewison.
Aloha Cloudia, here we all are at the beginning of another week of the rest of our lives...how will we spend it...for me, exactly like you had quoted, admiring and watching and enjoying all characters! Have a great week!
I love the care with which you choose your quotations Cloudia.
What lovely shots!
These were beautiful. Love the one about narcissism. I know tons of narcissists.
Happy Monday!
Nice captures Cloudia!
Love the Psalm.
Regards.

I do always appreciate Gore Vidal.
I spend too much time alone, but I do so prefer it that way. ~Mary
People watching has always been a favorite of mine!...:)JP
One probably will find oneself, and if only in sight.
Please have a good Tuesday you all.
From Seneca to Tagore. I love you, you are without parallel!
I quite like the Jewison quote, myself. Such gorgeous pictures; that blue sky is so in contrast to the daily grey that is Minnesota in January.
This restoreth my soul today! Thanks friend!!!

"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
"Who watches the watchmen?""
Phenomenal question! and the Answer was later--God-- when He watches the Children and forgets the Priests---Oh how that fed me today!
Thanks everybody- fun day today
People watching is one of my joys. Thank you - a lovely quote and photo filled post. As usual.
As always beautiful photos. Yes, I like very much in keeping appointments with the images.
I like the quote from Marilyn Monroe !!!!
Beautiful quotes and photos, Cloudia. I had to laugh at the narcissist.
Dear Cloudia I like psalm 121
