Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson



It is love that makes the impossible possible.
-- Indian Proverb

Where there is love there is no darkness.
- Burundi Proverb



Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.
--Unknown



The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on.
-- Robert Bloch



But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?
--Albert Camus

The first photo was excellent in every imaginable way. Maybe love has something to do with it.

All beautiful, but the first one is absolutely stunning!

Beautiful photos and quotes - I'm constantly startled by the stupidity of the minds I encounter in Vegas - does that count?

Sylvia, I would love to just sink into your first picture here.

I particularly like the quote about age not always being accompanied by wisdom! I feel just as stupid now as I did earlier in my life!

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
