Plants stay alive in any climate needing light rays, flourish within windy days, sparkling at sunlight, often wondering how artists get to draw such splendour.
I came across a few funny and silly Quotations, and I want to share with you.I hope their make you laugh.
“Human decency is not derived from religion. It precedes it.”
― Christopher Hitchens, God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything
Christopher Hitchens (Part 1)
The inscription which I have put on the glass jar reads:
If thou of fortune be bereft
And in thy store have but two loaves left,
Sell one and with the dole
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.
A fellow photographer taught me these principles. She didn't use these words; I just condensed her concepts.
It took me four months to learn the first one after I got a new camera. I'm still chasing the second one...
Quotation from In The Flesh - Pink Floyd (The Wall)
Love this kind of look that said: "What a hell?"
Have a great Thursday my friends :)
If you truly love someone, let it be known, because very often broken hearts succumb to sadness because of unspoken words.
“The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know.”

I used "Art is Life. Life is Art" as my quotation for this image. The quote has been attributed to both Kahlil Gibran and Deiter Rot (or Roth.) Yoko Ono also said, “Art is my life and my life is art.”
Regardless of who said it, it has always been one of my favorite art quotations.
I used trees as symbols of life and the up-side-down trees as roots that go deep, beyond what is seen with the naked eye. The circle is symbolic of the life cycle. The gradual change from black and white realistic photo to colorful abstract art represents how an artist views the world, not as what is, but what can be.
NOTE: I replaced the image with a different version on 2/7/15. I thought the text obliterated some of the more interesting parts of the background and it was bothering me for several days, so I finally changed and reposted it. The image is the same; only the text size & placement has changed.

I was observing the Galactic center to search for microlensing event by B&C61cm telescope in Mt.John Observatory.
I exited from operation room to check the cloud in the sky.
When I saw the Southern sky,
I was afraid of the red-curtain over the Southern Horizon.
I need a little time to recognize what I was looking . It was Aurora!
Aurora is just on the Southern constellations.
I was delighted such dream view.

Socratessa 2000 asked, in a comment on this photo, if I could show the large version of the quotations I copy into my pocket filofax, so here is one double page - I opened it at random. I've uploaded it full size so that it can be read more easily if one presses L.
I really must get on with writing this - especially as I had a scare yesterday - I thought I'd dropped my pocket filofax in a shop, happily I'd left it on a table at home :)
And may we live in a world at peace and with the awareness of God's love in every sunset, every flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile, every lover's kiss, and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.Best wishes!
While going through my archives, I came across an old image of a teacup I had for sale on ebay years ago. Then I was scrolling through Pinterest, looking for teabag *tag* ideas. Came across the anonymous quotation which pretty much sums up LIFE for me!
But back to the teabag ideas . . . asked my husband if he would doodle some "T" words that I can make into little tags. So, here you have Stages 1, 2 and 3 of my tea project in process. Stay tuned!
And it all began because a dear flickr friend sent me the most incredible tea gift package!
This is my way of creating a thank you.
The tea cup and saucer are still for sale, or perhaps I should include them with my package?
hmmmmmmmmm . . . decisions, decisions!
“A woman is like a tea bag,

Extract from;
http:www.blouseroumaine.com
Marie Ana Dràgescu is the sole survivor into the 21st century of the all-female air force squadron, the ‘Escadrila albà’, which was active in WWII.
Marie Ana was born in Craiova, the capital of Oltenia, in Southern Romania, the daughter of an army officer and of a music teacher. She graduated from the aviation school in 1935, enrolled immediately thereafter in military manoeuvres and by 1940, aged 28, she became a member of a medical squadron. In 1942, Dràgescu was a member of the 108 light transports squadron of the Military Air Transport Group. At the end of the war, she was a pilot of the 113th squadron. During these operations Dràgescu managed to recover from the war zone over 1,500 wounded soldiers and secure their hospital treatment, behind the front lines.
Dràgescu’s feats brought her several of the highest orders of decoration - the ‘Virtutea Aeronauticà’ decoration, first class with clasp, as well as the ‘Crucea Regina Maria’ and the German Eagle decoration, third class. Yet, in spite of all military honours, Marie Ana Dràgescu remained a woman of an extraordinary modesty and wisdom.
After the war Dràgescu worked for the civil aviation, but the Stalinist purges at the time of Gheorghiu-Dej caught up with her and in spite of her experience and ability she was fired in 1954 for political reasons: it was a miracle that she did not to end up in a prison camp. She found a secretarial job instead, which allowed her to survive until her retirement in 1966.
In 1990, aged 90, once she had witnessed the fall of Ceausescu, Marie Ana Dràgescu’s feats could, at long last, be recorded, and made public. Her military credentials have at long last been restored, being made a Lieutenant (r) of the Romanian Airforce and been awarded the Order of the ‘Star of Romania’, with the grade of Commander. Her feats of arms made the subject of a recent movie, ‘Escadrila albà’, directed by Serban Creangà.

NOTE:
Most of the above 160 Romanian women, in the best tradition of versatility, are true polymaths and therefore nearly each one of them falls in more than just one category, often three or more.

Quotation of Wikipedia:
The Emscher is a relatively small river and tributary of the Rhine, flowing through the Ruhr area in North Rhine-Westphalia in western Germany. Its total length is 84km with an average discharge near the mouth into the lower Rhine of 16 m³/s (cubic metres per second).
The Emscher has its source in Holzwickede, east of the city of Dortmund, and flows west through the Ruhr area. Towns along the Emscher include Dortmund, Castrop-Rauxel, Herne, Gelsenkirchen, Essen, Bottrop, Recklinghausen, Oberhausen and Dinslaken, where it flows into the Rhine.
In the geographical centre of a vast industrial area of 5 million inhabitants, the river is biologically dead, as it was used as an open waste water canal since the end of the 19th century. Due to the continual down river movement of soil from the mining industry, it has been impossible for the natural course of the river to be maintained, and consequently its mouth into the Rhine has been relocated north twice. A huge modern sewage treatment plant at its mouth ensures that the water of the Emscher enters the Rhine in an acceptable quality.
Since the early 1990s, a huge renaturation project for the Emscher river has been progressing. To fully rehabilitate the river, a large subterranean pipe is currently being constructed along the course of the river. The first section of the river subject to renaturation is in the city of Dortmund. The total project will cost several billion Euros and is to be finished by the year 2014.

Yesterday we spent the afternoon with a calligraphy friend in Newport, RI, visiting art galleries, an art museum and ending up at an old-fashioned movie theatre to watch "The King's Speech."
This image was taken last year at a B&B in PA while returning from our calligraphy retreat in NC.
Focusing from A to XYZ, the composition begged to be captured!
Yes, just a barn, but oh, to the eyes of a lettering artist, what a JOY!

–Quotation of Ulysses S. Grant as written in A History of Militarism: Romance and Realities of a Profession (1937) by Alfred Vagts, p. 27
Students of Sun Tsu's Art of War book and fans of the drunken fist method of Kungfu will appreciate Ulysses S. Grant. Keep your enemy unable to guess what your next move is; even better, let him think that you are either crazy like Sherman or drunk like Grant. That is especially the case when the top Civil War generals on both sides went pretty much to the same Army academy and studied the same military texts. If the text says feign weakness to entice and then counterattack with hidden strength; well, that's now in the textbook that your enemy is also steeped in, isn't it? If you studied Sun Tsu's Art of War from two and a half millennia ago, know that your enemy has taken classes in it too.
That is to say in the 21st Century, Sun Tsu is a sissy. Hell, even in the 19th Century.
Throw into that equation of your schoolmates and friends who all drink from the same academic and professional trough one of the South's most brilliant military strategists, Confederate General James Longstreet, who was Grant's longtime close buddy from military college. He became Robert E. Lee's advisor on military strategy. Besides a friend who knew Grant from his military foundation, Longstreet was also related to Grant's beloved wife Julia Dent. James Longstreet was best man in Grant's wedding to Julia, according to Ron Chernow's book Grant. If a shortlist were made of Confederate military generals who could predict Grant's next strategic, tactical, and possibly even personal moves, James Longstreet would be on top of that list.
Despite that tremendous advantage, Longstreet and Lee were often surprised by Grant, such as when Lee thought Grant was giving up in the Overland Campaign – I mean, come on guys, really?!?– or when a unit of Grant's troops were dismissed as they headed south of Lee and Richmond towards unimportant Petersburg, which helped the United States win the war.
One last note from my readings on Grant: There is an understated Midwestern quality to Ohio born-and-raised Grant in his statements and mannerisms– even in his quote in the title of this photo. Grant seems to appreciate being underappreciated as a strategic and tactical advantage.
