According to Buddha
Most problems, if you give them enough time and space, will eventually wear themselves out.
it didn’t feel like sunday
didn’t feel like june
when he met his silent partner in that lonely corner room
that over looked the marquee
of the plaza all-adult
and he was not looking for romance
just someone he could trust

random street in Lisbon, Portugal ~ April 2018
These are fabulous! The expressions of the men in the last one are fantastic. I love the textures and lines of the first one. I especially like the 4th shot: the lines, colors, shadows, face on the wall, etc. all make for such an interesting image.
humble thank you Lemony ☺️🤓 men talking loudly the closer I walked the quieter they became…they did smile by the end but I liked the characters but not the loud voices…it’s a wonderful city Lisboa I love it there…smiles from etown ☺️💫 have a wonderful and creative day ~ hedy 🤓💫
Who would deny that your quality photographs express much more than could
ever be said in words. Awesome images Hedy!
it’s a perfect day for a smile
indeed Eddie…humble thank you for your comments and support…I appreciate it…I have been composing sloppy posts for 7 years now according to my WP message this morning…😳 I also found a article this week about blogging and photography…for me it’s all practice I still have much to learn along the way…mostly it fun for me…and I’m happy others enjoy sloppy too ☺️💫 I’m sharing it here https://digital-photography-school.com/12-good-reasons-start-photography-blog/

thank you kindly smiles ☺️💫🤗☀️ sending joy ~ hedy 💫
This too shall pass?
yup always does Mike…have a happy day 🤓💫
Great images, Hedy. Were the older men curious, angry or what? They have interesting expressions on their faces. Have a great week. Cheers!
lively conversation…and the closer I came to the quieter they became and I have no Portuguese…so I don’t know…but we all smiled at the end of the moment ☺️💫🤓
I can just picture the scene. It made for a good photo despite the communication gap. Cheers!
other than you probably speak Portuguese 🤓 smiles and hands and showing then my camera does work for me 🤓💫
Some amazing expressions! Intense. I think you’re brave…. 😉
yes I witnessed some engaging and lively conversations…people talk and interact…not everyone was attached to their phone…so nice to me ☺️💫 ya I can be a bit brave…😉🤪 smiles hedy ☺️
Ya! 😉
i particularly like the man with the cigarette in his mouth.
ya he seemed very cool to me too…always fun meeting for a moment with the street photography stuff…I like that part and the little encounters with humans 🤓☺️💫 smiles to you Gavin! have a good day 😁
Your photographs say so much about the city. Just wonderful!
it’s one of my most favourites cities I could live there…I also loved Porto…it is all so wonderful! thank you for your kind comments Jolandi ~ smiles hedy 💫☺️
Agree with Buddha. I have a few problems that need to be left sitting on their own, far away until they (dis)solve themselves… 🙂
Great photos again. The men were a bit… taken aback? 😉
And isn’t Romance just another word for Trust?
B. Good
yes I also heard that Brian…and I think some others have also taught me that…yes the men didn’t expect me to keep on walking into their rather loud conversation…they smiled…it was a giggle ☺️💫
I’m sure it was. 😉
Hedy in the middle of it… …wow… …pure life… …I love the second one with that man and the cigarettes… …wonderful. I’m impressed. Thank you Hedy 🙂 🙂 smiles over the pond 🙂
best place to be in the middle or the muddle ☺️💫 smiles to Georgia enjoy your days 😃😃 💫 sending you joy!
I love your photo series, your Buddha quote (very hopeful!) and your poem at the end. Very nice all around! 🙂
thank you kindly Cathy I appreciate your comments…I use the words of music that I enjoy as one of my intentions here on sloppy…compose a beautiful day…happy travels ~ smiles hedy ☺️💫

Thanks, Hedy, for sharing your intentions. You have an interesting blog; I look forward to reading more! 🙂
thank you kindly ☺️💫
Trust is beautiful. Old things and the next buddha around the corner.
yesterday I read trust is romance…I don’t know…but I agree trust is beautiful and comforting…I’ve been a fairly armoured human…I don’t trust easily…yes so much is changing in Lisbon…such a beautiful and romantic city….smiles hedy ☺️💫
Different culture, different atmosphere. Portugal is nice yes.
yes I’m grateful to have a passport and the ability to see new places…and explore…and feel.
I’m grateful you share your pictures. It’s exactly my taste of wonder. x
and I love to wonder 😃☺️
It is to give trust. Always keep your brains in your bag, hidden.
for sure…I understand…mindful 🤓
LOVE that one-liner about problems… Overlaps with a comment hand-lettered on a piece of cardboard in a laundrette window I saw in Toronto this winter: “The way to clear a pond is to stop poking it.”
thank you Penny…that’s a wonderful saying…smiles to you hoping spring is treating you well…nice to hear from you hope you are well ☺️💫🤓 smiles hedy 😁
