Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody. ~Benjamin Franklin
If we had no faults of our own, we would not take so much pleasure in noticing those of others. ~Francois duc de la Rochefoucauld
Sure God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece. ~Author Unknown
If the world were a logical place, men would ride side saddle. ~Rita Mae Brown
Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open. ~John Barrymore
Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
Give and take : the last photo....
Gardens of life,
with upright folks,
holding on closely
to what is theirs;
Counting,
sometimes their riches,
sometimes their blessings,
and
at the fall
of dusk,
locking it all away
to open
again,
on another day.
But some gardens,
are blessed with
those
who also stand upright
but
open to the world;
"What is mine
is yours too;
come partake
freely
of nature's kindness
Sip the nectar...."
And the ballerina in yellow,
smiles,
leaps,
and lands daintily,
on her toes,
amidst a
carpet of white,
bows
hands outstretched,
and says
Thank you !

I like your quotes and pictures and I also like the poem in the comment above.
I'm dazzled that you can put together such great pictures and quotes every evening.
That is so true about men riding side saddle! Seriously. It's also such a perilous way for women to ride horses. It's amazing they were able to ride that way and still balance.
I love the quotes and the last photo. ;)
beautiful post
An excellent collection, this! I had to laugh out loud at the sidesaddle...it's so true! But they're all extra-good today I think, and the pictures are marvellous as always. Thanks Sylvia!
Great scenery !
