You have certainly capture the waterfall and giant tree well. The water splashes look so real and I'd like to hug this giant tree.

Wow! Those red leaves look almost like leather. They are so shiny and beautiful.

I love that one about borrowing photograph. I think I may put that on my photo blog. It's so true.

Oh, I LOVE your quotes! I always love Mark Twain - grouchy he might have been, but I have a feeling we'd have got along. LOL!

But some of those others are priceless too... such a shame I never can remember quotes well enough to re-quote them!

The photos are lovely, too. :)

Absolute delight to see the pictures and read the quotes. Last one did make quite sense about life..imagination and fiction do take a major role.
