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

Perdonatemi, ma -come si sa- la carne è debole e l'ego, qualche volta- prende il sopravvento!
[Foto di Paolo Mezzetti]
Forgive me ... but the flesh is weak and the ego -sometimes- takes over!
You come across an old typewriter, perhaps in a junk shop. No-one else is around. You have an opportunity to type a few words on the paper, anonymously. What will you write?
"..because nothing makes me happier
and nothing makes me sadder than you.."
Quotation from The History Of Love by Nicole Krauss

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"
“Two bubbles found they had rainbows on their curves.
They flickered out saying:
"It was worth being a bubble, just to have held that rainbow thirty seconds.”
― Carl Sandburg
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).

open quotation from the sculpture "Le tre Grazie" by Antonio Canova (1812 e il 1817)

.........I'm thinking that it should be wonderful to live in a city, town, village so full of colors... I think that each grey wall could be transformed into an awesome work of art...
This is Vallà di Riese (Veneto Region, Italy) experience....
woooooow.... I love this... the project is supported by Region Administrators ....
It is Vallà participatory urban regeneration project, born from an idea of the BocaVerta Collective to put art and beauty back at the center of our urban landscapes. The name combines the English word wall and the country where the initiative takes place in a play on words.
****************************************
COS’È THE WALLÀ. È il progetto di rigenerazione urbana partecipata di Vallà, nato da un’idea del Collettivo BocaVerta per rimettere al centro dei nostri paesaggi urbani l’arte e la bellezza. Il nome unisce in un gioco di parole il termine inglese wall (muro) e il paese in cui ha luogo l’iniziativa.
In concreto, The Wallà si propone di trasformare i muri di edifici pubblici e privati in “tele” per un museo permanente a cielo aperto, composto da opere di street art che rappresenteranno un potente mezzo per sensibilizzare, raccontare, accogliere, riqualificare. A oggi sono più di 10 gli edifici individuati per gli interventi artistici, ma l’iniziativa è in continua espansione.
“Questo progetto”, spiega il Collettivo BocaVerta, “nasce dalla percezione condivisa di degrado lungo l’arteria che attraversa da nord a sud il nostro paese, quella Strada provinciale 667 che è croce e delizia del paese stesso, veicolo di sviluppo, ma anche di traffico e inquinamento. Ripartire dalla bellezza, per noi, significa riprendere possesso dei luoghi che ci sono familiari e coinvolgere attivamente i cittadini nella ricerca di un vivere comune che sia rispettoso di sé e degli altri”.

“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

Quotation from, 'On seeing the graves of the forty-seven rônin at Sengakuji Temple' Anon.

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
The 22 quotations from Roosevelt's presidency are engraved in the red South Dakota granite walls of the memorial.
"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
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.
“Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.”
~ Rabindranath Tagore
"Everything faded into mist. The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth."
— George Orwell ("1984")

Getting so old, so weak, barely peek
Yet beautiful still, until, the next fill
For a generation, a whole celebration,

Love grows when we work at it.
Love overlooks a multitudes of faults.
Love will bring us together.
Love finds away to get together.
Love will keep us together.

I come across another funny Quotation on FaceBook and wanted to share this with you all. Have a fantastic day, everyone!
Hahahaha! Came across this quotation today and just couldn't resist.
"Everybody winds up kissing the wrong person good night." --Andy Warhol (1928-1987)
Fun Fact Du Jour: So I've been told that I have really nice lips. Okay...won't complain about that compliment. ;) Typically, I'm not one to wear intense colors but we are coming upon the holiday season ya know. And I like shaking things up with red lips and red nails. Funny thing though...both end up transferring the red pigment in some manner. Well no mas!!! I have found the perfect "lipstick."
It's actually a lip stain of some sort that remains on throughout the entire day and will not rub off. You just need to touch up the clear gloss which is on par to wearing Chapstick. I'm not one to trust these claims too easily, but guess what?!? After a trial run today and some determined experimentation--not gonna kiss and tell--it would seem that this stuff does in fact stay on. Who would've thunk?!? FYI Flickr Divas, I'm wearing Cranberry LipSense® by SeneGence®. Tiaras Up! And now, nighty night, do enjoy this fave: ♫ blip.fm/~bx226
PPS...the asterisk was created using the Chiller typeface. Love typography.
'and i was speechless...'
my day consists of floral skirts and quotation marks.
outtakes in comments!
all sooc of course (:
The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established.

This is a black and white photograph of the Lighthouse erected on the Northern tip of Skopelos Island, Greece, at Cape Gourouni, viewed from afar. The 46-ft (14-m) high tower is rectangular and made of stone. The lighthouse has got a luminous range of 20 nautical miles; it functioned in 1884 for the first time.
The shot was inspired by the quotation from Virginia Woolf: ❝Lighthouses are endlessly suggestive signifiers of both human isolation and our ultimate connectedness to each other.❞
"Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine". Alan Turing

(I used a photo of a calculator keypad, taken today, to produce all the numbers shown. This was processed with one of my own textures from a photo of the sea as I wanted a dreamy effect.)
ODC "movie quote"
"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!
