Observing children

i like to observe children. but that is a dangerous thing to say, i guess... :) like the girl from yesterday, she was sooo cute! she was cheerful and inviting, and just happy to be playing with the fountain in the sun. there were many other kids, proudly showing their parents that they could run into the water, over and over again. 
the one above is an old one, from the museum in lincoln (that we really have to visit again soon!). i dont know what you think, but to me its clear they are eagerly waiting for something to happen, you can deduce it from their posture.  thats why i like to observe children; it is so much easier to see how they feel, as they dont (yet?) have the need to disguise whatever they are feeling at the moment, or what they want/expect/or do....
now i feel old...! :D

Lovely picture, the girls with the same jackets. They are indeed watching or waiting for something. I love to watch people anyway, not only children. On our bustour the past days, I can't resist to watch the fellow passengers and make fantasy stories about them. When I notice my husband to someone, he never knows who I am talking about. He doesn't look that way at people.
