Found myself rereading in Wikipedia about Kierkegaard, an incredible character who I had to learn a little about now so many years ago. No one challenged the the relationship between faith and doubt like that guy. Thanks for reminding me of him tonight.
Beautiful photos, and fine words of Wisdom.
I love the flower photos but that first one of the sun's rays piercing the skies is just fantastic.
There are colours and life everywhere - if you want to find them and go an look for them.
Merry Christmas!
You always do such a fantastic job with these. I love the first and fourth ones. Well done. By the way, did you hit the panic button on the blog with Why Christmas Trees are better than women? YIKES!!! Scary LOL
I remember telling my son at one time that if I had only a dollar to my name, and had to choose between a loaf of bread of a bunch of flowers, I would choose the flowers.
Hi Sylvia!
I'm going to have a blogging break, see you again 'next year'!
Merry Christmas!
I like them all but the second one is my favorite and so is the second quote. I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. Love and hugs, Judy
Lovely photos Sylvia...the first two and the flowers are kickers here...Have a blessed Holiday to you and your family.
You take the best photos and find the most wonderful quotes to link with them ... thank you so much ;-)
Hugs and blessings,
My (almost) Wordless Wednesday
