An unlined, flawless face looks out from a window. Unrealistic expectations of perfection.

Just dog walking
Sometimes a photo is just what it appears, a walk enjoyed by human and dog alike, in Amsterdam earlier this year.

A chat on the phone
A woman relaxing on a bench outside a bookshop in Amsterdam while talking on her phone. I guess she was about to order something to eat, if that’s a menu in front of her.

Amsterdam Lights
Lights reflect in a canal in Amsterdam as a bridge is lit up. I love that I caught a passing vehicle going over the bridge too!

Precious Things
Sometimes you’re just minding the precious things in life, like a handbag for someone special.

Excited for a walk

A dog in the bookshop
One of the wonderful things about other places is when dogs are allowed in. I had just left the American Book Center in Amsterdam when a man and a dog walked towards me and into the shop!
There’s no chance a dog like that, or any dog, would be allowed in a bookshop where I live! I sometimes get away with bringing Diego in when I carry him in my arms. 🙂

No Parking Here
Parking in front of a no parking cone must have seemed like a good idea at first. I bet the rider was just popping into the nearby duck shop.
The bike was soon taken away and chopped up for parts and exported to Ireland, where it was used to build a submarine.

Have a seat on the street
Have a seat. Here’s one. I don’t know where it came from, maybe a local office or flat, but it was gone again in the morning. Be famous, seat.
