I was just sitting at my computer and reading all the DIS stuff and it made me want to go and look at the photos from our last trip to DL. We came home one year ago yesterday 
Then I was looking at a online photo album of some people I don't know and the photos of their trip to Disney
Looking at them got me to thinking....Hope this makes sense and I don't sound like some kind of loon...LOL
It was weird looking at Disneyland through a strangers eyes, things they took pictures of. And them standing infront of things like the castle or small world. Places I have stood and posed for pictures many many times. BUT I wasnt in these pictures infact, Im no where to be seen....of course not, I don't know these people and wasnt even there when the photos were taken according to the date stamp on them.
And that made me think even more.....(sorry if Im starting to sound weird..LOL)
About the photos from my first trip to DL, 1977, There is one picture of my sisters and I standing out front in front of the big flower mickey and standing next to us, looking in a slightly different direction, posing for their own photo are two nuns. I have often thought about those Nuns over the years and wondered what ever became of them. Although I don't remember them being there, and I never saw them again. BUT for the last 20 years I have seen them everytime I look at these photos. I wonder if my sisters and I were in their photo as they were in ours. I wonder if they see us and wonder about us like I do them?...LOL
And that got me thinking about all the vacation photos and all the strangers who are accidentally caught frozen in time and are in our photo albums (or on our vacation DVD's in this day and age) they are now forever part of our vacation memories. I wonder how many times I or my family have been caught in some one elses vacation photos, there we are everytime they look at their photos. We will never know them or ever run into them again but because of that one fleeting second my face is now in a strangers photo album. I hope at the very least I was smiling
