to understand that the sky is blue everywhere.”

Quotations from Buddha

The gulls seem to be taking it easy!

“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.

“In the midst of darkness, light persists.”

Kelly's second favorite quotation is: "Caturday: Preferred by Cats 2 to 1"

"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

There is something wonderful about finding the perfect quotation to accompany a favorite image.

“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

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

"Camouflage is a game we all like to play,

but our secrets are as surely revealed

by what we want to seem to be

as by what we want to conceal."

~ Russell Lynes ~

Interesting, I had no idea who was famous for this quotation until

I looked up Russell Lynes in Wikipedia and discovered

he was "an American art historian, photographer, author and managing editor of Harper's Magazine."

For Poetography group: Some topics speak to me more than others and this week is a good example. Our word is leaf, or leaves.

They started cutting down the forest behind our house yesterday to build homes. I hoped this wouldn't happen too soon even though we were told to anticipate it. It's still tough.

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!

Truer words- never said.

Robert Byrne

rose, 'Love and Peace', little theater rose garden, Raleigh, north carolina

"Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers - for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are."

~ Osho
