That's My World is hosted each week by Klaus and the My World team, Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and me. Join us and share your world with others from all over Our World! Just click on the post title, read the rules, sign up and play with us! 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 has been windy and really cold, BUT! Blue skies and lots of sun for the past couple of days. A blogging friend from California, Linnea at http://photoblogista.blogspot.com/, was here in Seattle and we went photo hunting together! We headed for the Sound! Amazing, but people were having great fun in the water and on on boats in spite of the rough sea and the cold! What a great day! So, this is what I'm sharing with you today! And it all started with getting this shot of a setting moon on Saturday morning! |

| Another blogging friend, Sally, http://www.chickendanceranch.com/ and I met this young lady earlier this week! She was waiting for her "owner" who was having a cup of coffee in a nearby coffee shop! Seems she accompanies him everywhere in the front seat of his pick-up! Amazing the things we find in our world once we start looking, isn't it? She was a friendly one, though and posed for pictures!! |
And finally, a lovely end to a beautiful, fun day!!

What a polite pic!
That last shot is fabulous - and, oh! Lucky you - with blossoms already! Far removed from my cold cold world...
"Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism." So true, it is amazing what people will say and do in the name of "patriotism".
It was beautiful but cold where we are visiting in Santa Cruz yesterday. One beautiful day to make up for two days of rain.
What a lovely post, Sylvia! The pig is a real pet. It reminds me of "Babe"an Australian little pig who wins a sheepdog contest, even if she is not a sheepdog.
Have a very pleasant week, Sylvia!
Great post Sylvia. The pig looks very happy to be taken everywhere. We're beginning to have signs of spring too.
Oh how fun it is to meet a blogging friend! Super photos for MyWorld this week, Sylvia! And I'm so glad you are finally seeing signs of spring! (But I'm not seeing the linking on MyWorld and I'm wondering if it's just me? It's 3:18 pm EST - or 4:18 am here! Heeeelp!)
Thanks for the update.. was wondering what was wrong with the site.. Will try again tomorrow. Have a wonderful week!
Oh, I can just feel that wind in my face. Looks like it was still a great day to be out and about. Hmmm...that pig looks familiar. :)
Awesome sunset, Sylvia. Have a great week!!
LOVE that fresh breath of spring, Sylvia!
What a fun-filled day, Sylvia, from Moon morning to sunset. You even met Ms Piggy!
Great shots!! Love your new friend the pig. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Really like the last 2 shots - the pig because - well its a pig and thats enough, and the last one is just splendid!

Wonderful photos, Sylvia!I just love that pig, very cute. It is great when you get to meet fellow blogger friends.
Hi Silvia, great pics, great quotes. Bill Cosby's quote is dangerous advice!! Love the black pig, I thought it was a new blogging friend!! It is in good shape...lucky pig! I am full of exclamations today. Have a lovely time, Sylvia, and enjoy.
Such a magnificent finale the sunset. I also felt the spring here :)

Take care and have a wonderful week Sylvia!
Your sunset picture shows a spectacular ending to a photogenic day, Sylvia. I so enjoyed this glimpse into the windy seaside that never fails to attract activity. I, too, saw the full moon through my window but didn’t get its picture. And the pig … one of my all time favorite animals. This one is lucky to be a pampered pet.
Beautiful images. The last one is my favorite.
Moonset to sunset, and all the beauty in between. A lovely day to share with a friend, and with us.
I love the pig. The first thing that came to mind was Arnold the Pig in the long-ago sitcom, Green Acres. I doubt they're related. :)
A marvellous collection of shots.

I can't stop looking at that yellow moon against the blue velvet sky, Sylvia. Just love it!
The pig is cute and well-behaved, waiting for its person.

Wow, those are amazing photos, Sylvia. The beauty you capture is wonderful, although it looks too cold to be on that water! I've never yet met one of my blogging friends in real life, but hopefully that will change one of these days. Have a great week!
Delightful pictures and quotes, Sylvia. The air looks so fresh and clean.
And that pig is spotless!
Lovely post for a new day. Love those quotes and the pig looked so cute and minding its own business.
Wonderful ,loved the last pic a lot
Great post!!! Loved your photos and words of great men. Especially the last one.
that's the cutest pig I've seen.
btw, we have got some blooms too, yay!
I love this post. All the photos are wonderful - the little pig being my favorite. I'm so glad to see signs of spring up your way, Sylvia. Have a good week!
I love the pot-bellied pig, the gorgeous sunset photo, and the Geo. Washington quotes on this, 2/22, his birthday! Plus all the other sky and water photos, of course, are spectacular, as always, Sylvia. Have a wonderful week.
Another great collection of photos and quotes. I love the pig, for some reason they are quite adorable looking but my favorite pic is the third. Technically it may not be the best but I could feel the wind and hear the surf and I love it. Can't beat old Abe for quotes. He, Will Rogers, and Mark Twain would have made a great trio.
I hope everything is going well Sylvia.
wonderful images and lovely quotes too!
It must have been such fun to go out with a friend.Beautiful photos.
Loved each of these pics... And the last quote by Abe Lincoln is so true, well said!!
Have a great week:)
The snow-capped mountain ranges beyond the cold-looking sea is breathtaking, and I feel cold wind through the movement of the grass. And then you made me feel warm by the next photo of spring blossoms. Sylvia, I’m happy to share your glorious day.
thanks for introducing us to Sally.:p the buds are gorgeous, must be holding their breath till spring. fabulous shots.
Wow! I'm so blown away by these gorgeous photos, Sylvia. Looks like spring is on its way in your neck of the woods. I also love the frames you've got on your photos!
Great beautiful shots again Sylvia.
Glad to be back into your beautiful world again.

Splendid views, Sylvia! I really enjoy them!
Have a pleasant day!
Very wise words Sylvia, accompanied by beautiful pictures!
Thank you very much
A beautiful sequence, Sylvia, and how lovely to see blossom :-)
beautiful shots with great accompanying quotes. have a wonderful week.
So good to see blossoms breaking out in your world and of course that most handsome porker!
Have the best week my friend.
Amazing! It is just like an interesting short novel from the beginning to the end!!
I do love all, especially fifth one.
Sylvia, thank you.
I really like the pictures you got when you went out with Linnea. The third picture with the snow-capped mountains in the background is beautiful. Your sunset photo is simply spectacular.
What a great image and quote to end this post!
Fantastic post. My favorite photo is the last one and the first quote is interesting!
Have a nice day.

I want a littly piggy ! I think it would match with my cats ! George Clooney had one too.
With that I forgot to admire your other pictures, lol !
As always, you nail them! Too busy with granddaughters Monday to do a post. Glad to visit yours!
beautiful posting, the last one is my favorite
have a nice week Sylvia, many thanks for all your kind comments
a windy day on the beach. Surfers love it. And photograhers. :)
Have a great week.
All of your shots came out so well, Sylvia! I love the flower shot with the boats in the background. Now I was right there next to you when you took that one, but I neglected to take that same shot! Too bad...what was I thinking!? Thanks for stopping by at my pics. Enjoy the week!
Ah! A Congressional Porker has made it to your blog!
The Cosby quote is spot-on!
I love these photos. The Night or day the sky is so beautiful and the pig about as cute as they get. :)
Oh thank you for sharing your lovely week! (I'm behind reading but your posts are always timeless!).... I've never seen such a lovely photo of a moonset. And how terrific to get to share some time with these other great bloggers -- wow, a great week.
Thank you for showing a glimp of your world this week, Sylvia! Have a very warm and pleasant Wednesday!
