Hi Sylvia, thanks for visiting my blog :). It's great to have found skywatch! I love your waterfall photo- beautiful!. It such a perfect place, I'd love to be there with a book, a picnic basket and a good friend :).
ReplyDeleteIf our mind attaches to matter or to anything in the physical, it makes matter all the more denser as well as a heavy feeling in the mind. We indeed make things matter by sitting on the issue.
ReplyDeleteWith age, many look to the past for what they have lost, and in the process, lose sight of what it New. The new has no wrinkles. Life has a flexible face.
Beautiful words a perfect compliment to your wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteGibran is amazing,"...a light in the heart"
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful is that?
Thanks for sharing his quotes Sylvia. I don't know if I would have ever come across him otherwise.
WOW Sylvia, how have I missed your blog!
ReplyDeleteYou have some incredible photos, well done.
I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Such beautiful photos
ReplyDeleteI needed that. I looked in the mirror today and was struck by how my face is changing. I should not let that influence me in any way shape or form, (okay, I'll use Oil of Olay), but I won't let the aging thing slow me down, or discourage me from moving forward.
ReplyDeleteOh.. lovely quotes and pictures, especially the waterfall.
ReplyDeleteThanks as usual for the quotes and soothing pictures. Again I am glad you quoted my favorite, Francois de LaRochefoucauld. "a true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire".
ReplyDeleteLove the photos! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYou have captured some gorgeous waterfalls! And the quotes add to the enjoyment.
