Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present, which very few of us do. ~Jean de la Bruyere
What a distressing contrast there is between the radiant intelligence of the child and the feeble mentality of the average adult. ~Sigmund Freud
A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood. ~Rachel Carson
My childhood may be over, but that doesn't mean playtime is. ~Ron Olson

Another delighful scenes.
Have a wonderful week.
Hello Sylvia, what lovely pictures! I can't get over the blue and white flowers. May your week be as lovely as the scenes you shared.
Lovely, serene photos. They calm my soul. I love the children quotes. I work at a Waldorf inspired school where the innocence, wonder and inquisitiveness of the child is embraced and nurtured.
Have a great week, Sylvia. I'll be away for a few weeks and will re-connect when I return.
Sylvia those were especially lovely quotes tonight! Thank you.
I loved the picture with the blue wildflowers.
I can just stare at the pictures every day and never get bored!
The bunch of white flowers is like a bride surrounded by her bridesmaids. Are these spring flowers. can't imagine spring when I watch on TV all the snow in washington.
Thanks for sharing yet another great post. :)
....MAGIC HARBOR....how wonderful it is.....it's surrounding is breathtaking...the ambience...the sailboats waiting....!!
Oh yes; children are living in the "present"...I experience it every day (!) and together with the boys I do enjoy this way of "living intense today" so very much...!
GORGEOUS SKY-IMAGINES, cara Sylvia!
Have a happy week!!
ciao ciao elvira
OMG...that last photo and it's quote are just wonderful. I love them both. The third one is spectacular as well :) Excellent my friend :)
Well, we grow up and become bogged down by responsibility. Only artists can remain child like.
Beautiful as always Sylvia, the first pic is definitely my favourite.
All the best

I like the Freud quote. I don't find children dull. Inquisitiveness is such a shiny attribute
Beautiful shots, and I love the quotes about children...so true. Have a wonderful day, Sylvia!

I'm liking ol' Ron there !!
Lovely clouds in picture two - thank you
You always find the most appropriate quotes to go with your pictures -- or is it the other way around. In any case it is always a pleasure and inspiration to visit your Evening, Wisdom and Beauty posts. Thanks for sharing these with us.
Another really great sequence of images, Sylvia. :-)
beautiful photos on this post, Sylvia! that one with the purple flowers is sooo pretty! Such a happy photo with great colors. The willow in that first photo I really like too...the light makes it look like a bunch of feathers.
So much beauty, and so much truth!
It is wonderful to see the world through the eyes of a child. Breathtaking images!
