Happy
Monday and welcome to Our World!!
Time
to share the fun, the beauty, the good, and the bad and whatever else fills
Your World!!
We’ve
actually had a “little” sun for the past two days and it has been glorious
after the weeks of daily rain!! Amazing amounts even for the Northwest US!! And because of our extra wet weather for so
long, I haven’t been able to get out with my camera so I hope you won’t mind
some from a trip I made to Seattle a couple of months ago.
Wishing
all of you a wonderful new week, with lots of beauty and laughter!!! Enjoy!!

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and
fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you
know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says "Go to sleep, darlings, till
the summer comes again.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass |

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good
food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the
fire: it is the time for home.”
― Edith Sitwell |

“What good is the warmth of summer, without
the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America
“A cold wind was blowing from the north, and
it made the trees rustle like living things.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones |

May the warmth of your photos surround you and fill your heart with joy as we head into another new week!
Sylvia I love the Lewis Carroll quote, oh how I long for a really cold winter to snuggle up by a fire :(
always lovely. glad you had a peek of sun!
Wonderful shots - and I'm so glad you finally got some sun!
Hello Sylvia, these are lovely images. I am glad you had some sunshine for a change. I love the second shot with the view of the mountains. Thanks for hosting, enjoy your new week ahead!
Such wonderful and apt quotations to go with your fabulous photos.
Beautiful photos - I especially like the one of the snow-capped mountains across the water. I think they might be part of the Olympic Mountains??? Thanks for sharing. Keep warm and dry!
Gorgeous photography and wonderful quotes as always ~ thanks!
Wishing you peace in your week ~ ^_^
A very little sun is better than nothing. Actually that is about what we have had here in Florida this past week; it is much rainier than usual (and as you know only too well we could have had that kind of weather if we'd stayed in Oregon). Again, as always your archive pictures are so beautiful; of course I don't mind seeing them, they cheered me up. And also again, as always, thank you for hosting both of my favorite memes.
Beautiful shots Sylvia! I love seeing the tree silhouettes against the sky.
Beautiful photos, Sylvia. Seattle is one of my favorite cities, but I think the grey, rainy winters would get to me - I love my winter sunshine. I hope you have a great week!
These pics make perfect memories!!
Fantastic.

beautiful photos.
Beautiful pictures and quotes. I specially like the Lewis Caroll quote. Hope your winter is comfortable.
Beautiful world !
So good to hear the ol' sun decided to shine once again up that away. And your photos of Seattle are always welcome. I've never thought it mattered one bit when a photo was taken. If you've got some good ones of 20 years ago, post 'em!
These are good ones. Hope you enjoy your day!
Beautiful....and really liked the Sitwell quotation today.
Beautiful views of the sky. Lovely cloud formations.
All are different and all so beautiful!
Your world is beautiful every day of the year, rain or shine. The mountains in the background are just heavenly. All are so pretty.
I loved reading Steinbeck when I was in high school. Maybe I should revisit him. Coming from California the books always felt like home. - Margy
