Some call it people watching...

...I like to think of it more as observing people.
The first image was taken on September 8 at 4:39 PM. The second was taken on September 13 at 4:01 PM. When I took the first image, it was because of the light on her thin white slacks. She was walking briskly and I wondered if she was starting out or on her way home.
When I took the second image, it was because I had taken the first image, and I figured out that she was just starting her walk (1/2 hour earlier than the first image) after she got home from work.
Is she on a schedule? Incidentally, note that the gentleman is observing her also, but he won't have the same lighting effect as I had.
I have no idea if my suppositions are correct.
At the dog run near where I live, I watched this woman enter the run, take her dogs off their leashes, and let them go have fun. One went to sleep right under her and the other climbed up onto her shoulder. Are the dogs old? She got out her phone and started texting. She's not young. Is she also computer literate? Good for her. Is that the dogs' exercise for the afternoon? I'll have to look for her if I'm at the dog run at that time of the afternoon.
The last image was taken yesterday on a crowded subway car. This couple was totally involved in each other and apparently completely unaware that there were other people around. Their relationship is probably reasonably new. Will they get engaged? Why are his arms in a defensive position? Are they living together? Will the relationship last?
See what I mean? Other suppositions are welcome, btw.

I'd watch the girl with the dog, too, and ask her whether she wanted to model for me!
Good for the old lady - she is able to text with one hand, which I can't do.
He appears to be just tolerating her - though he does have a reaction to her attention! Don't know what the arms say. The girl to the right is studiously ignoring them!
Nice pictures.

What people? I'm looking at the dogs. Strange, in one image the dog is walking on her right, in the other on her left. Without knowing if she was walking the dog with the "heel" command or the free-form *let's go" there is no for sure way with out asking the lady if it is wrong. In "heel^ the dog is supposed to be to the humans left. Sorry, but I am a Dog and Cat person.
