I am fascinated by the purity of my two dogs. Living in today's world where you're not always dealing with the best people, dealing with other's hidden agendas or experiencing things like that...it really refreshes me to get back home to my dogs and take them for a walk or take them to a field to play and just be out in nature with them and soaking that all up. Cesar Milan the Dog Whisperer states in his book that dogs truly live in the moment, and that is one of the greatest things he has learned working with so many dogs. They don't worry about the past or stress about the future as we humans do.

The feeling I have when I am just in that moment with them relaxing in nature, throwing the ball for them, feeling the warmth of the sun on my face, the wind blow through my hair, total relaxation...that moment fascinates me.

Oh, and I am fascinated by New York City-I would love to go there some time and just experience it-all the different parts of the city, the life, the tempo, so much excitement-it just looks like someplace I would love.

Nature fascinates me. Insects, birds, fish, mammals. Diversity works for me!

I am fascinated by all the above. I couldn't narrow it down, so I started reading the posts because sometimes it jogs my memory to read what others have written. That goes right along with working in the library long enough to get to full retirement. When I was in school I could get almost the best grade in several different subjects, but someone would always beat me because they were good in that one subject. Yes, everything fascinates me and I love to look up things and learn more about just about anything. That is why I love city-data.

Sometimes what you learn on city-data is a bureau of misinformation, but that is fun too.

Oh wow, an easy one for a change. Gotta hurry as it is almost midnight here in central time.

I am facinated by life in general. It is amazing just to sit and watch people, nature, and the interactions between each. I am humbled by the vastness of life and all the ups and downs it can bring.

I think it is great how they have the town names on them. It is something that just says "home town" to me.
I remember when I was younger I was just amazed to find out that there is actually water in them.
Gaffney, S. C. was the first thing that came to mind when I read your post. I googled it and guess where I found the picture I wanted. This has been the subject of conversation many times when people are just standing around and talking. It seems that when you don't get to view the whole thing, It looks like something else. LOL I thought I heard that they have repainted it. Gaffney, SC : Giant peach water tower in Gaffney SC photo

It won't be tomorrow until I go to bed and sleep for a while. What can I say, I'm a night owl.

I didn't see that anybody had mentioned old graveyards. They really have a tale to tell. My ds got me interested in this. Sometimes you can see where there has been a disease epidemic, war, etc. Take me to almost any town and I will head for the graveyard to see the towns history.

My goodness, everything mentioned so far fascinates me--especially new life of all kinds.

I'm fascinated with lightning and twinkling Christmas lights. There's something about the changing light patterns and moving shadows that can keep me mesmerized for hours.

Then you should see the one for 'Bourbon, Missouri! Over the years many comments have been made about the water tower with 'BOURBON' on it.
