One of the rides the kids rode at Dollywood was the carousel. When we arrived there, I started to take a picture of my daughter as the ride was standing still. Because of the ride's lack of motion, I was able to get a perfectly posed picture of my daughter.
As the ride began to move, Ron and I jumped in front and got a rare picture of us together. When we were done, I began to snap pictures of the then moving ride. I couldn't tell as I clicked the button on the camera if I was getting my kids in the pictures or not. I crossed my fingers that I got at least one good one.
When I arrived home and uploaded the pictures, I discovered that two of the pictures contained people I had never met or laid eyes on. The people in the pictures spoke to me because of the presumed ages of the riders and the there obvious determination to have fun.
The 3 ladies that appear in the 2 pictures are probably in their 70's or later. One is in a wheelchair, yet she found a way to ride. The other 2 ladies, probably friends, possibly discussing the day or maybe memories of their own childhood rides appear in the second.

How fun! And how neat that you took an extra look at these pictures...I would have just discarded them without a second thought, but you saw the joy and fun in someone else's lives.
