Hi Claudia,
I too love the story of Josh and am thankful when my children stop me in the street to listen to anything from a violinist to birdsong… How special of you to have added that in! Thanks for dropping by my blog and I look forward to reading more of you. Ange

Hi Claudia, what an amazing story. I have found that having a camera in hand helps me to recognize the beauty around me. Thanks for sharing your lovely images at MM.
Movies: I have a strange sense of humor, so these might not be what you are looking for, but I love Local Hero, The Dish and The Burbs.

Love your “fall mosaic” – already MISSING the colors as they’re gone here!
MOVIE: Thomas Kinkade’s “Christmas Cottage”
This movie was a sweet surprise – great for the upcoming holidays, a little corny at times but WONDERFUL overall. Peter O’Toole plays a magnificent role as an aged artist – he turns any movie into magic!!!

I read about that awhile ago… great story! Maybe we should pay more attention to street musicians!

I too would have liked to think I would have stopped but it depends on how much in a hurry I was. Most people’s lives are so busy these days that they really don’t have time to stop and smell the roses (or listen to the music). I think it is a reflection on our culture that forces most of us to adhere to some schedule or another and just follow the rules. We are trained drones really. As to movies, there are so many beautiful ones.We just saw Pelham 123 with Denzel Washington and John Travolta . We all thought it was quite well done.

Love your mosaic and I totally agree with. Blogging helps you to see more than you normally do…lol. Many times things I would just see and forget about I think, “Wow, I have to share this with everyone”.
Three movies huh? Ok, I love Finding Nemo. I know it’s a kids movie, but I love it. I thinks it a parent loving their child movie. I also love The Princess Bride. “My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!” And then, The Devil Wears Prada…there’s clothes and shoes, need I say more? Have a great movie night and be sure to let us know what you chose.

What a great story. I have to say that photography has made me stop and look for the beauty in the world. I can’t imagine I would have passed up hearing such beautiful music but then I bet that’s what all of those other people would have said.

I have to put in my vote for French Kiss my favorite, Amelie, and Chocolat (see a pattern here?)

What an amazing story and so sad we are always in such a hurry we can’t stop and appreciate true art.
