That's My World!


That's My World is hosted each week by Klaus and the My World team, Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and me. Click on the icon and share your world with others from all over Our World! So! How is your world this week? Have you taken time to see the beauty there? What is it about your world that makes you smile or laugh or feel grateful for?

It's hard to believe that it is already October! Time does fly whether you're having fun or not! But I have had fun lately even though I haven't been able to take as many pictures as I would like, but I did get some of my lovely world to share with you along with some of my favorite quotes to add some wisdom and humor to all of our day.


Love that is shared cannot be affected by time.  - Lee Jampolsky

Drag your thoughts away
from your troubles...
by the ears, by the heels,
or any other way you can manage it. 

Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest. - Mark Twain
 

Everything has its limit - iron ore cannot be educated into gold.  — Mark Twain

Mojo said...

LOVE the "surfing birds" in the next to last shot! And the quotes too. Especially the last two!

What lovely shots that capture the blue weather of October!

jlshall said...

Fantastic photos - as usual! That "Do the right thing" quote is one of my favorite Twain quotations - funny, but so true!

Have a great week!

Carver said...

Beautiful autumn shots from your world Sylvia.

Gunnar said...

Nice to see your world images, and I did like your blog tittle very much "Sylvia from over the hill", does this mean you live "over the hill and far away?"

maryt/theteach said...

Sylvia, thank you for the wonderful photos of your world. And thank you for hosting the "My World" meme! :)

Shirley said...

Beautiful garden photos Sylvia!

BlossomFlowerGirl said...

Beautiful and wonderful Autumn colours in the first.

Martha Z said...

You added Jampolsky to Mark Twain, another of my favorites, and beautiful shots. The garden reminds me of Butchart but there are many lovely gardens in the Northwest. Things grow there.

Where is that garden in the first shot? Stunning and yes, reminds me of Butchart Gardens too!

October has come way too soon, but it does mean I get to visit Mother - this time next week we're in the air!

Have a great week!

marcia@joyismygoal said...

Sylvia your post w/ its use of three senses took me away for a few moments---- The lovely quotes that accompany the beauty of your photos was so nicely enhanced w/ the classic music --Thank you for the sweet short respite.

ruthinian said...

Anonymous said...

Wondereful shots like always. I love the change of seasons. Autumn has such beautiful colours.

George said...

It looks as if you had a beautiful world this week. I like the autumn color in your first picture, and the view from the path above the water is spectacular.

Louis la Vache said...

Autumn is arriving - as witnessed by its vivid colors in the first image.
;-D

SandyCarlson said...

I love the perspective of each of these photos. And the light. As usual. Gorgeous pix, friend.

Unknown said...

As I've often stated here, your world is just beautiful.

Mark Twain had some good ones, didn't he? :-)

This is my World!

Al said...

Fabulous photos, Sylvia, again I think that your part of the country is so beautiful. Your microfiction below is too funny! Have a great week.

Gaelyn said...

Yes it certainly does look like fall has arrived, even in Seattle. But at least you have relatively mild winters.
It's raining here very hard.

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...

I love all of these -- the first one is a true stunner and rivals any fall color we are seeing here in New England!

EcoRover said...

Some nice fall colors, Sylvia. Love the light this time of year--you nailed it.

Janet said...

Quotes from Mark Twain, one of my favorite authors! Great pictures to go with them too! Thanks for sponsoring this meme.

Wolynski said...

Beautiful photos - you're getting good. Love the Mark Twain quotes - he must have thousands.

NatureFootstep said...

today the first and last of your photos are my favourites, maybe because I would like to be there.

jabblog said...

You can see for miles in that last photo - how wonderful :-)

Cherry said...

the first photo is just awesome! enjoy the rest of the week, Sylvia! :)

Gattina said...

That's strange, you live so far away and still the landscape you show looks like if it was here !

James said...

Each and every shot makes me want to visit the PNW. :)

Lew said...

Thanks Sylvia. You are getting some beautiful colors there! I spent a few weeks south of Munich about 40 years ago and enjoyed my time in Germany. It was mostly work, but weekends were free to roam, including side trips to Innsbruck and Salzburg.

Irene said...

Great images! Beautiful colors, lovely scenerey! I hope you have a delightful week

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.
