I kicked candy and now seem to be stuck with quotations, which are attacking my brain instead of my teeth :-)

Taken for Caturday theme quotations. The quote is: When you wake up each morning, you can choose to be happy or choose to be sad. Unless some terrible catastrophe has occurred the night before, it is pretty much up to you. Tomorrow morning, when the sun shines through your window, choose to make it a happy day. Lynda Resnick
Perdonatemi, ma -come si sa- la carne è debole e l'ego, qualche volta- prende il sopravvento!

Forgive me ... but the flesh is weak and the ego -sometimes- takes over!
Spring leaves and wildflowers were popping out everywhere we hiked.
a quotation:
"This is the most beautiful place on earth.
There are many such places. Every man, every woman, carries in heart and mind the image of the ideal place, the right place, the one true home, known or unknown, actual or visionary. A houseboat in Kashmir, a view down Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, a gray gothic farmhouse two stories high at the end of a red dog road in the Allegheny Mountains, a cabin on the shore of a blue lake in spruce and fir country, a greasy alley near the Hoboken waterfront, or even,
for those of a less demanding sensibility, the world to be seen from a comfortable apartment high in the tender, velvety smog of Manhattan, Chicago, Paris, Tokyo, Rio, or Rome
--there's no limit to the human capacity for the homing sentiment."
Edward Abbey
"Desert Solitaire"
“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.”

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE – ELVIS PRESLEY
Sometimes in life we come full circle
I see a footprint of my beginning
and here I am back at the start
I see the people who tried to stop me winning
but I rise above them; and leave them far behind
I draw a line in shifting, whispering grains of sand
and something deep inside me drives me on
no looking back; I am complete; I understand
sometimes in life we cannot win them over
it's not our job; it's for a greater Hand
and He will guide me on my journey
bring me safely to the shore
where angels sing; rejoice and hold me
and I will not be frightened any more
He sees in us the pain; the human burden
He sees the weight that life and people bring
He knows how much; He knows and He is certain
He will not give us more than we can take
so that in our hearts and souls we'll always sing
and when at last our cup is brimming over
He lays his Hand upon our heads and soothes our brow
and we feel the greatest love that ever found us
and we are comforted and lighter; it is a miracle somehow
and once more we are peaceful
finding joy in simple things
as darkness; shadows and all our plights
are left behind and taken care of;
whisked away on angel's wings
and soon the lines of strain are smoothed; not furrowed
as clouds reveal the stars of wonder and ethereal light
and we begin to live at last the ever after; forget tomorrow
this moment we exist; and in this moment
I am complete; I am content right here, right now.

My artwork is a compilation of 4 of my photographs.
The face of the Olympian Hermes. Just a tiny part of the whole statue. The other parts, represented by Fujifilm boxes, you have to visualise yourself or, since his image is scattered over the world-wide web, you can look it up. Here, I am offering just a visual quotation. It refers to something larger and, at the end of the day, to a long narrative which, in itself, is invisible.
Fujifilm X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 (wide-open).

"That swimming, sloping, elusive something about the dark-bluish tint of the iris which seemed still to retain the shadows it had absorbed of ancient, fabulous forests where there were more birds than tigers and more fruit than thorns, and where, in some dappled depth, man's mind had been born."
Vladimir Nabokov

When you're not being able to do much there's always technology to make you have a dialogue with your many florals, which I did yesterday. Many quotes spring to mind, but I chose this one.
"The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and harmonious tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs to him" ~ August Rodin
“What an astonishing thing it is to find something. Children, who excel at it—chiefly because the world is still so new to them that they can’t help but notice it—understand this, and automatically delight in it… Finding is usually rewarding and sometimes exhilarating: a reunion with something old or an encounter with something new, a happy meeting between ourselves and some previously missing or mysterious bit of the cosmos.”
—Kathryn Schulz
The above quotation basically sums up how I feel about photography. We find things that are treasures to us, and we photograph and share them. Like Show and Tell. Remember that from elementary school? ;) A whole year (and longer) slipped away since I took this photo, but I’m finally sharing this found thing with you.
Thank you to everyone for your recent, generous faves and supportive comments. It encourages me, and it’s appreciated more than you know. My apologies for not being able to follow everyone that follows me. With Flickr’s settings, it makes it challenging to follow too many people without being overwhelmed. As a general rule, for everyone that visits my photostream, I make an effort to reciprocate by visiting theirs.
I wish you all the best now and always. Keep looking, finding and sharing. x

What's interesting about this quotation is that a well-known author lives in this house! I've never met her in person, but have passed her on the street many times during my walk.
Happy Fenced Friday everyone!
"If there ever comes a day
Where we can't be together,
Keep me in your heart.
I'll stay there forever." -- Winnie the Pooh

I come across another funny Quotation on FaceBook and wanted to share this with you all. Have a fantastic day, everyone!
"The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on."
~~ Carl Sandburg
Quotations from Augustine of Hippo, asking for God's enlightenment. The second quote refers to:
James 1:16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. (World English Bible, public domain.)
Thanks for looking!
Lots of quotation marks required..."Erie" 436 shoves "Erie Lackawanna" 3372 into long-term storage at the New York & Greenwood Lake facility in Passaic, NJ under the watchful eye of "The Cowboy". In reality the Erie SW9 was a NY&GL locomotive and the U34CH belongs to the United Railroad Historical Society of NJ. Of course, in the name of progress, the Dundee Spur is now only a memory, while the U34CH is tucked away at the URHS facility in Boonton. Interestingly the old Hillyard Chemical advertisement painted on the building in the distance remains...for now. Those 50' box cars at right had ALAB reporting marks and were assigned to the NY&GL. Some even had billboard-style NYGL lettering. These were revenue cars that would travel off-line.

Mother Nature has the US in her grasp. I hope you are all warm and safe as this continues to pass through our lives.
A few hours earlier this long rubber fisherman's walkway had been flying through the air, tossed around by the strong winds blowing across Dungeness beach. It came to rest in this serendipitous form and just had to be photographed!

Also known as Cranesbill because of it's beak like seed capsule.
Notice the oak tree catkins on the leaves. I have never seen so many of these before. They are everywhere!
"A single oak tree produces both male and female flowers. The male flowers are tiny yellow structures that grow along a slender stalk. The stalked structure is called a catkin. The stalk with its flowers looks a bit like a yellow worm dangling from the tips of the oak branches. The female flowers are small pink to red structures that are also located near the twig tip. The male flowers produce pollen which is carried by wind to female flowers, often on a different tree. The amount of pollen produced by a large oak tree is enormous and the flowers continue producing pollen for several weeks. Unlike flowers that are pollinated by bees or other animals, the pollen of oaks floats freely in the air and is inhaled by people. Many people are allergic to oak pollen and the large amounts and long duration of oak pollen production can make oaks one of the more serious spring allergens."
~ University Of Mount Union
Unfortunately, I am one of those with an allergy to oak pollen.
