Doesn't it look inviting? This is the side walk along Andrassy heading back into town from Hero's Square. It looks good enough to pass on a bus or metro ride, no?

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.

This path appears to go on forever! nice photo!
It certainly looks a lovely place.I have never been to Budapest but I believe it is a beautiful city.BTW, thanks for your comment on MY Life blog.I do understand the point you make.However, I will abide my original decision.For one thing, you may not have put a comment on it, otherwise, might you not?
Bonjour
Merci d'être venue visiter mon blog. Moi j'ai le plaisir de découvrir Budapest !
I want to jump in those puddles! Lovely photo of an inviting pathway.
I've never visited Budapest, so I am looking forward to exploring your blog. Thanks for visiting mine.
I agree with Laurie. I too feel like jumping in that puddle :-)
The first thing I noticed, besides the inviting benches, is the trees. I look at them and realize they are relatively new or young and I wonder if the city took out or removed older trees that must have made tunnels of shade on the street? I think this is one of the most inviting streets I have seen anywhere.

It is, indeed, an inviting place to walk! "Louis" wishes he could try it!
This is indeed a lovely photo! I really do enjoy the perspective in this and I would love to sit on the bench and enjoy the sights of the city!!
Thank you so much for dropping by my blog.

Isadora: You certainly capture the beauty of Hungary, I love the old world feel of your photos.
Looks like a great place for a stroll and to sit and relax. Very nice composition. Thanks for visiting Paris Photo Art and your kind comments.
Paris Photo Art!
and right after the rain it looks all the more inviting.
It looks like it rained a bit .. I would like to walk along w/my camera in hand ..
I must admit that I did think of taking pix of the food first BUT I have a friend who sends emails after she goes anywhere with not just photos of her food but of everyone else's too .. and long descriptive paragraphs explaining how it looked, tasted .. SO I deliberately took the first shot of the Po Boy All Gone to send to her ... as a sort of joke .. then I got into it and took the other ... I dont usually share food on my dish or my blog .. LOL .. but those oysters .. I had to !

I love to have walks in Budapest in your blog.
Hello again,
Thanks for your comment on my paintbox picture. There is actually only one hang glider in the photo, I tweaked it with MGI photosuite 4.It's good fun, you should give it a ggo yourself.
It does look inviting and could sit on the bench and wave to you as you go by on the bus.

Thanks for visiting my blog.
You have a lovely city. MB
A walk along this boulevard should be really good!
These are all very fine views, Isadora.
I'm glad you enjoyed the Mole Antonelliana: I took the photo from Turin's hills.
A very inviting bench. A nice place to sit and watch the world go by. A good place to daydream.
Great photo.
Thanks for the visit,
Troy and Martha
What a beautiful and inviting boulevard! Great photo, Isadora!
It does look inviting. I'd like to walk along this boulevard. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

I enjoy tree-lined roads. It's very romantic.
Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comments. Have a great week ahead!

It fades off into the forever! I love the line the tree tops make.
It really looks inviting place to walk. I like those trees in line and the perspective of the photo.
What a beautifull place...i love the water on the street.
Kiss
