"I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections,
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The blackbird whistling,
Or just after.”
~ Wallace Stevens~
“I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries,
and very frankly give them fruit for their songs.”

Continuing with my Positive Flags of the Nations project. This is dedicated to the sun, the warmth it exudes, the bright colours it creates and it gives us the ability to see during the day and enjoy the outside.
Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.
Helen Keller
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.
Joseph Addison
Ô, Sunlight! The most precious gold to be found on Earth.

Give freedom to colours and then you shall meet the rainbow everywhere! -

Man needs colour to live; it's just as necessary an element as fire and water. - Fernand Leger
There are no lines in nature, only areas of colour, one against another. - Edouard Manet
The world is your kaleidoscope, and the varying combinations of colors which at every succeeding moment it presents to you are the exquisitely adjusted pictures of your ever-moving thoughts. -
James Allen
Colours are brighter when the mind is open. - Adriana Alarcon
Colors speak all languages. -Joseph Addison
Colour is uncontainable. It effortlessly reveals the limits of language and evades our best attempts to impose a rational order on it... To work with colour is to become acutely aware of the insufficiency of language and theory – which is both disturbing and pleasurable. -David Batchelor
When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also. - Paul Cezanne

The earth is supported by the power of truth; it is the power of truth that makes the sun shine and the winds blow; indeed all things rest upon truth. - Chanakya
Yo the sun don't shine forever, but as long as it's here then we might as well shine together, better now than never. -

“The stars shall fade away, the sun himself Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years, But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth, Unhurt amidst the wars of elements, The wrecks of matter, and the crush of worlds.”

There is nothing like sunshine to bring a little or a lot of happiness in your life. Sunlight brings positive vibes, I share these beautiful vibes with you to realize the beauty of life and just how much nature has given us for free! Enjoy my friends!
Summer Sun by Robert Louis Stevenson
Great is the sun, and wide he goes
Through empty heaven with repose;
And in the blue and glowing days
More thick than rain he showers his rays.
Though closer still the blinds we pull
To keep the shady parlour cool,
Yet he will find a chink or two
To slip his golden fingers through.
The dusty attic spider-clad
He, through the keyhole, maketh glad;
And through the broken edge of tiles
Into the laddered hay-loft smiles.
Meantime his golden face around
He bares to all the garden ground,
And sheds a warm and glittering look
Among the ivy's inmost nook.
Above the hills, along the blue,
Round the bright air with footing true,
To please the child, to paint the rose,
The gardener of the World, he goes.
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable. - Joseph Addison
Sunshine is a welcome thing. It brings a lot of brightness. -

From the musical "For Me and My Gal"

Tonight we took a walk in Mystic.
The reflections were really beautiful on the still waters.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
“Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind,
filling it with a steady and perpetual serenity.”

The Grammar School was founded as part of the Hospital of St
John (qv) in 1495, moving to this site in 1577. Many famous
men were pupils here, including Samuel Johnson, David Garrick
and Joseph Addison. The school room was built on the site of
one of 1577, and the buildings became the offices and council
chamber of Lichfield Rural District Council in 1920.

Plaque about the Culstrubbe Gate that used to be near here, one of four city gates erected by Bishop Roger de Clinton.
On the corner of Heath Street and Hollybush Steps, Hampstead. Initially posted in "Guess Where UK". The house is named after the 'Kit Cat Club', a group of influential 18th century literary and political figures who met in the nearby Upper Flask public house. This group leaned towards the Whigs (precursors of the Liberals), was founded by publisher Jacob Tonson and included William Congreve, Joseph Addison, John Vanbrugh, Robert Walpole and sundry dukes and other gentry. The club used Hampstead in the summer, moving to the Strand and Barnes for the rest of the year. The club's name refers to a Christopher (Kit) Catling who hosted the club in its early days at Shire Lane and served them his mutton pies (kit cats).
"If people would consider not so much wherein they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling in the world."-Joseph Addison #JMConsulting #WorkTogether #WeAreTheSame #Love #Care #ManageProperly #ManageTomorrow #instafollow #instagood #instagram #facebook #twitter #linkedin #pinterest #googleplus #tumblr #flickr #JosephAddison

Today so far it has not stopped raining. I am not sure whether I will get a chance to take any more today, as I am going away on holiday for a few days and will be driving there - so please say hi to my bookworm and my latest read (The Lost Daughter)!
He has marked my place in books for many many years. I myself am also a bookworm. I love to read books both fiction and non-fiction - next book I think will be one on photography as I want to learn a bit more on the technical side, which I hope will make me a better photographer.
