the sea gull is priceless
he does look pissed
Lovely images as always, Sylvia and great quotes. I'm not too sure about the Chekhov, though. Thinking of the folks in Christchurch I think many will rise to the challenge they face and others will be overwhelmed. I recall the varied reactions of friends and family to the Northridge earthquake, some took events in stride and others were traumatized almost to the point of inaction.
I just love the sea gull!
Your last sentence cracked me up! Looks as if spring is already on its way. Lovely beach shot!
I'm enchanted by your new header!So lovely colours...ahhh Spring is in the air!
Wonderful pictures, and for sure the seagull is very cute!

The Richard Bach quote made me giggle. Ha! I guess my mission isn't finished. :)
The gull does look pissed off. Great shot. All of these photographs from your world are delightful. I love the quote about crisis and day to day life. That's been my experience. I do much better in a crisis than I do day to day.
It's such a cold day today, but your beautiful beach and flower photos made me feel cozy and warm. :)
Beautiful - thanks for sharing.
I love the first picture - a beautiful beach Sylvia!
The top picture gives a lot of summer feelings :)
Have a great week Sylvia!
Aww poor gull, great series of shots though, Sylvia. Thanks for sharing:)
If the seagull looks like you in the morning, then you would look very cute to me !I love seagulls much to my English friends disgust, lol !
Great captures, Sylvia … some photos of warmer times bring back fond memories of spring that I thought was just around the corner, until this latest snowfall! I think the seagull might be huddled for warmth and in shock over what he hopes is the last blast of winter. I think he’s had enough. :)
Oh how I can relate to that Gull! LOL! Lovely images as always :)

Lots of fun photos! What a world!
Wonderful, Sylvia. I love the grumpy gull.

Sucked in and giggling like an idiot, oops, sorry Anton! Your quotes full of whizzdom and then the seagull crap! At least now I know what you look like!
Calm seas, sunshine and a nice bench to sit on, rhododendrons in full and glorious bloom . . . by your thumbnail you tricked me into believing you were really 'livin' the life' but no such luck, just a shiverin' ol' seagull!
If I strewed those rhododendron blossoms on th esnow for you, would if help to tide you over?
Fantastic series of photos. I love the pissed off sea gull and the moon. Thanks for sharing the quotes too.
In here, summer is just around the corner, the mercury started to rise again. Wish we could have some snow *wish*. Sure I will not be pissed off like the seagull hahaha.
Have a nice day Sylvia!
Che belle foto Sylvia !
Buona serata :))
Myriam
lovely collection again. what is being sold in that store?
Those are peppers at a store in Pike's Market. They display them like that and some people buy them just to decorate their kitchens. They are beautiful and very colorful! Thanks for stopping by, as always!
Sylvia
Spring is coming! Your pictures and quotes are perfect as always. (I can't believe you're quite as pissed off as that gull looks, even if you are good and sick of winter, for which I don't blame you one bit.)
Beautiful choices showing your world, Sylvia. I love all the colors in the market shot and the first shot with the benches and waves is wonderful.
Good juxtaposition, did I get that right, with the poor frozen gull. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Great shots as always, Sylvia. I love the seagull, it's definitely not happy! I hope your week is starting well.
I like the vegetable market, great display.
Superb shots Sylvia. :)
Have a great week ahead.
Your pictures tell us the story of beautiful one year! The sea for summer, the moon & vegetable for autumn, flowers for spring, a frozen seagul for winter.How iteresting and exquisite they are! I love all, especialy may favorite is the last one!
Exquisite pictures! I think the bird is contemplating on life.
Terrific set of shots.

Seeing flowers blooming, is it spring already. Lovely photos and quotes.
Great pictures and Quotes Sylvia as usual.. The sea gull picture is great..!
Amazing shots. Love the variety.
That seagull does look a bit miffed! Guess he wants to snow to go away! It's pretty much gone here. Last night's rain washed it all away!
Love your first quote here, very true indeed!
He has a right to be ticked! He's bare footed in the snow! Can you imagine?
Love your new header. She really outdid herself this time!!
I hope it's nothing worse than another gray day that's got you grumpy, Sylvia, but just remember the Bach quote! You have a profound range of quotes today, and the one that suits me well is Emerson as I embark on a new experiment in a few days! Fabulous series of photos... and a LOVELY new header!
Ah, you have been gifted with another header with a hammock, vino, a bride. Spring is in the air. I just know it.
I love the Ellis quote about life is knowing when to let go and and when to hang on.
I love the market photo with the peppers.
I hope everything is going well for you Sylvia.
Great images and quotes. I love the first two and will take them to work. Those peppers warmed my night.
Among all the nice photos, I especially like the photos of a deserted beach of off-season and the sea gull in the last. I think I remember the punchy colors of peppers when they were zoomed in. Now I understand how they were hang at the shop. (If they are the same peppers.)
Those hangings and flowers are so pretty. Thanks for sharing those wise words. They're enriching.
Just loved Sea gull photo very much as i did others also .
I sympathize with the sea gull. Hopefully March will bring nicer weather for him -- and for you.
You gave me a good chuckle with your last photo and caption. Happy Tuesday.
brilliant captures and oh so wise words
Still snowing on your blog :-)
Beautiful series, great images and quotes
Wonderful photos Sylvia!

I do think that the gull looks less than happy!
Must be all the people calling it a "seagull" when really its just a "gull"!
Another good set of pictures to start the week.
Thanks - Stewart M - Australia
Amazing clicks.. Loved the quote on idiots!!
Very colorful post.
Have a wonderful day:)
What a great and varied shot selection, Sylvia. All are wonderful! Very cool new header, by the way.
what a sad looking young gull. :( Like me it seems tired of the snow.
I personally think there's nothing wrong with looking like an old broad, shivering or otherwise. To prove it, I look like that everyday.
By the way, do you have red snow boots like your feathered friend's?
You sea gull comments had me laughing out loud! I really like the whimsy of the moon caught in a tree's branches!
Beautiful!
I love that photo of the poor bird too, but the rhodedendrons are magnificent. Fabulous, Sylvia!
Beautiful photos and my favourite is the seagull. I love the quotes too. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great day always.
