Must be sentiments left over from Valentine's day - but these balconies just struck my fancy. It is Friday - I hope something is striking yours?

my wonderful furry friends
Many times I've walked through Budapest being struck by something I wanted to share. Here, I do just that. What follows are glimpses along life's path that had touched my heart. Enjoy! Budapest Daily Photos recently moved to its own home. The photos here may be enlarged by clicking on them unlike BudapestResources.com website, its previous home.

About Me
Apples and Women
Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them. In reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right person to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
The Invitation
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened by life’s betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments.

Very pretty! My first thought was of Romeo too.
These are great. I would be happy to be the Romeo to any Julliet who stood up their
Hi Isadora, I’m back after a short break… and sorry for being late to wish you a happy Valentine's Day!
Thanks for your comments at Blogtrotter
Do you wish to see Juliet's balcony? Have a look here.
Enjoy!
The balconies are nice. They look large.
Oh how pretty Julia must have lived there. just the perfect balcony
These are pictures of balconies that are really beautiful...really works of art...
These are gorgeous! I want to see Europe someday...but for now, these pictures will do.

The balcony scene is one of my favorite Shakespearean scenes. Who couldn't imagine themselves almost 14 years old and being in love.
There seems to be 2 wires going across the first balcony door. I think the occupant might have to duck before through those doors. The statues in the 2nd balcony are quite revealing. :)
Dot :) figured I couldn't be the only one.
Dan, Clueless - what romantics! Nice to know :)
GMG Welcome back. :) I've stood on Giuliet's balcony in 1974 - and back then nobody knew of Casa di Romeo. I believe by now they realized it too could be marketed and 'found' one. :)
AVCR8TEUR - the electrical wires you are seeing run in the middle of the street, the angle of the photo is such that it appears to be at balcony level.
Thank you everyone for visiting - I love these wrought iron works and thankfully, there is quite a bit around town.
... of course, my first thought was about Juliet ... then something strucked my mind ... it couldn´t be Juliet because this is Budapest ... ah, I know ... Isadora wherefor art Thou? Isadora?
Isadora, I love the arches and porticos of the windows in these shots. I wouldn't mind having a balcony scene there! Hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day. Happy Friday!

Thanks for the visit Isadora! Don't you hate when work relationships can be compared to the St. Valentine's Day massacre
I find that all the iron work on balconies, windows and doors in Mexico and so many European cities as true works of art. Great caption!

Beautiful balconies. Each have different designs.
