Were you trolling them?
Isn’t watching their every move and noting even the speed of their clipboard writing being a “nosy busy body” too?
Are you not “tattling” on them here?

I apologize to the "trolls" and for mentioning gender specific. On the other hand, my description of "nosy busy bodies" seemed quite accurate. I was assuming that they were "tattling" since they had a clip board and were taking notes, but you may be right and they were just examining landscaping for ideas (sure). Describing them as "white haired ladies" may have been taking a bit of artistic leeway, since they may NOT have been "ladies" after all.
Me "tattling?" Hmmm, making an observation and using it to support past statements on this site, does not meet the pervue of "tattling" as there is no position of authority to tattle to.
My office has a view of the street and I notice when someone passes by. Not quite a neighborhood watch, but I readily volunteer assistance to my neighbors as needed. Anything that looks untoward warrants observation, if not just plain curiousity.
Like I said, I have no problem with obeying rules. On the other hand, I have no problem with some civil disobedience as long as it does not break the law or personally irritates me or my peaceful coexistance. I once lived in a neighborhood where one neighbor edged his landscaping with green beer bottles, lined up like soldiers side to side, with bottle neck buried and bottoms up. Unusual, but it did not cause me any aggrivation or discomfort.
I had no need to photograph those two busy persons, as it is obvious that this gives them purpose in life. I am making a supposition when I say that perhaps their husbands (or partners) passed just to get away from them. Like they say, different strokes for different folks.
