That's My World

My World is hosted each week by Klaus and the My World Team, Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and me! All our worlds are so different. What is it about yours that moves you, thrills you, saddens you? The only thing about my world that is lacking lately is sunshine! Ah, well! Click on the icon and join us in sharing those aspects of our worlds! And here are mine for the day!

A colorful trip to the market!


If you don't appreciate what you've got, you've got nothing.

A flower that is not the prettiest in the garden may yet have the loveliest fragrance.

Those who stop to whine every time they step on a pebble will never make it to the top of the mountain.

A flower is an educated weed.

We never stand taller than when we stoop down to help someone who has fallen.
-- David L. Weatherford



What do I lose if I assume everything will turn out for the best?

Beautiful Sylvia, I also love your new header. It reminds of the the Blue Willow pattern china (of which there is a story)

The fruit display is just amazing! If I didn't know I would say this shot was taken somewhere in Asia!

As usual your world is filled with beautiful sights. The market is indeed colorful and so appealing to me. The sailboats make me want to get out on the water. Great sequence. I also love your new header.

Great pics all, but I'm loving the last two sunset shots. Plus, cool new header! Have a great week and good snapping!

Carolyn Ford said...

I love the photo of your "colorful market!" It is always very hard for me to resist buying these strings of hanging chiles (not sure what they are really called.) I love all the combinations of colors you can find in markets like this. Your sailboats on the water are begging me to sit on a bench and gaze in their direction. Your world looks mighty fine these days, Sylvia!

Your world is very beautiful Sylvia, I especially like the market photo.

The new header is wonderful, what a great surprise that would have been. Your friend in India is very talented.

Beautiful photos as always, Sylvia. All that rain makes for incredible plant life, something we're missing in my part of the world. Please send some rain our way!

That's a beautiful world Sylvia! And you found the perfect words for it -- I love that first one.

Sylvia,
I love these--and especially the sailboat shots. I have a friend who would love them, too. They are dreamy.

Jim said...

A marvellous look around.

Ebie said...

Pop! I thought I was in a different world! Your new header is fantastic and well done. I did visit your friend's blog and very beautiful and artistic one.

I always wonder why they hang those chiles...

Those sailboats are just calling my name.

Enjoyed seeing your beautiful city!

Charlene Amsden said...

They look so pretty strung up.

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
