Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits. ~Author Unknown A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other. ~Author Unknown |
Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account. ~Oscar Wilde |

Fabulous shots of your world - and thanks for the amusing quotations!
All of them are good but the top one is great! I really like that picture!
I love the shot of the snow covered mountains, so beautiful.
I long ago gave up making resolutions other than to try and do better in all things realizing that often I will slip back to old habits.
Hi Sylvia! Did you make new resolutions? I didn't! But I wish you a great, happy and healthy new year. May all your wishes come true!
Yesterday Marina and Antigoni came to visit me with their families. They are the Greek blogging sisters. Marina has lived now in Brussels for a short time and her sister visited her for the Christmas holidays.

As usual, Mark Twain got it right with his "paving" quote...
Beautiful photos, and wise words. I don't bother with resolutions anymore, as I've never followed through on one yet. Who needs extra guilt.
;-)
"In one year and out the other" - I love it!
And that last photo - those amazing clouds with what looks like a jet stream across them - gorgeous, Sylvia!

Love love love your new header and your world is simply gorgeous my friend. I love the last photo. Excellent. Have a wonderful day :)
Those quotes are terrific! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful as always!
Happy New Year Sylvia and Best Wishes.
Regards.
All wonderful shots and I love the turtle. Happy New Year Sylvia!
sto watching Jay Leno and switch to Conan O Brian. He is much more intelligent and funny.
Too funny and just right for the new year. Thanks for the smile, Sylvia!
Believe it or not, your Mark Twain posts actually persuaded me to reread Adventures of Huckleberry Finn last weekend. :)
Beautiful series of photos. Boom & Gary of The Vermilon River
Love the snowy mountains and the lake, such a peaceful scene. Great shot of the resting turtle, there is only one way! Poinsettias are brilliant and the sky is in a frivolous mood. Silvia great shots. Enjoyed the quotes, and I am glad I "know" you and your blog. All the best. Trudi.
Enjoyed seeing the very dramatic sky at the end, Sylvia. And leave it to Jay Leno to come up with something funny with a serious edge to ponder. After reading all the quotes, my take is that resolutions have a VERY short shelf life!
All the photos of your world are just breath taking. Where do you find all of these quotes? I laughed myself silly.!
I am looking forward to visiting you every week.
Beautiful shots. First and last shot are just amazing.
Amazing shots of your wonderful World. I love your quotes! I wish you a happy and healthy 2011.
