I am first! Thanks for sharing! And have a great day
I love the Asimov quote and the beautiful flower. Thank you.
My own mistakes keep on piling and somewhere along the way they add up to wisdom of life. Thanks Billy/Sylvia.
I am glad I visited your site tonight and saw the L's and the quotes and pix. It is always a full meal.
Asimov was a wise wise man. I always love your landscapes but today the rose is just perfect! White and apricot are my favourite roses, but this one's a stunner.
Isaac Asimov says it scarily well.
Thanks for the lovely pictures and thought provoking quotes.

Each one of us has a unique language even though many may be speaking English. The secret then is to translate what everyone is saying into your own language. Then we may come close to understanding anothers perspective.
Love your quotes. That white rose is coming to my desktop for a future painting in another color. Love it.
