Ciao a tutti! Hi, everybody! Welcome back! This week, I've been perusing the 'net (as usual), and a lovely idea for a post struck me. So this week, I'm sharing with you:

Thirteen Photos I Didn't Take -
But I Wish I Had!

Picture

And there you have them: Thirteen Photos I Didn't Take - But I Wish I Had!

I hope you've enjoyed them all.




















They make me aspire to greater photographic achievements whenever I look at them.


















They make me yearn to learn more about the craft of photography.






















They make me want to work harder to get unforgettable shots.
























But, you know...

















There's magic in those everyday moments, too.

Ciao for now!

Great shots - although not so sure about the last :-)

They are, aren't they? But, yes, that last shot isn't for everyone, I know. Thanks for coming by! :)

Wonderful landscapes! Like Ron, that view from your mom's porch looks similiar to mine. I don't know that I could ever be happy where there were no mountains. I always enjoy your last photo, too. I look forward to that every Thursday!

Hiya! I'm the same way - I don't think I could be happy if I couldn't at least *visit* the mountains from time to time.

And I'm glad you enjoyed the last pic, too. ;)

I had no idea so many good photographers posted on Facebook.

I think the hardest part can be finding them in the first place. Most of these come from pages I've "Liked" over time, and now the pics show up in my feed. Once in a while, I post my photos, too. :)

Number 4 and 6 should be postcards, many others too.
In normal life that guy just doesn't look normal. Must be gym induced.

I'd buy them as prints if I could find them, for sure.

And I don't mind how he got that way, as long as I can admire the view. Heh.

Those pictures of the Smoky Mountains are so beautiful! I wish I could take pictures like that too.

I know, right? I get so homesick sometimes when I see these pics pop up in my Facebook feed... sigh...

Beautiful landscape shots. I'm particularly drawn to the mountains, the one thing Wisconsin lacks. Plenty of hills and bluffs...but no actual mountains.

I grew up in the hills of Eastern Kentucky, and now, when I'm in the US, live in Eastern Tennessee, at the foot of the Smoky Mountains. I miss mountains terribly when I can't be near them. Living in Florida was a stone drag for me. LOL!

They had a story on the news this morning about one of those hunky underwear models (one of the top 5 and only 18) who is giving up modeling to go to college and play football.
Have a good one!

I'd have liked to see that, but it's a pity for him to go play football. (I'm guessing American football, correct?) He'll probably be a quarterback. As I understand it, that's the position the pretty fellas usually play. Heh.

The view from Hwy 441 is spectacular. We have our own winter wonderland going on outside today. Great photos. Happy T13!

I can't look at that one without wishing *so hard* that I could have captured that shot myself. Our winter wonderland seems to have passed us by, here. We might get some snow next week, but we'll be lucky if it lasts a day. :(

I've been to Cade's Cove many times, and it is quite beautiful, but I've never seen it look THAT beautiful. Makes me wish I was there again. *le sigh* Great list, Kimberly! Have a wonderful weekend!

My hubby and I have been to Cade's Cove only twice, but I think it might become a more regular destination for us if we can find a decent bike rental close by. I really want to ride the whole circle if I can! Thanks for coming by! :)
