You're making me think of a time I was walking in Toronto and came across these gorgeous, super cute homes. I snapped pictures of several of them to send to my hubby.
Now, if there were people sitting on the patios or front stoops, I would not have done so.
I also thought about times I would pose in front of fabulous vehicles as if they were mine (I was young and in hindsight, no one would think I owned those vehicles).
In both cases, I wishes I was in the home or vehicle. Maybe that makes a difference?
I do think it was rude to take pictures of a fellow human without their knowledge or permission.
