Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



Winter is nature's way of saying, "Up yours." ~Robert Byrne



I like these cold, gray winter days. Days like these let you savor a bad mood. ~Bill Watterson



Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art. ~Ambrose Bierce



You don't take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it. ~Author Unknown



You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. ~Mark Twain



Imagination and fiction make up more than three-quarters of our real life. ~Simone Weil

You have certainly capture the waterfall and giant tree well. The water splashes look so real and I'd like to hug this giant tree.

Byrne's quote made me LOL. Thanks for that Sylvia!

Wow! Those red leaves look almost like leather. They are so shiny and beautiful.

I had forgotten about the Watterson quote, I really have to re-read Calvin and Hobbes :)
Gorgeous photos!

I love that one about borrowing photograph. I think I may put that on my photo blog. It's so true.

Oh, I LOVE your quotes! I always love Mark Twain - grouchy he might have been, but I have a feeling we'd have got along. LOL!

But some of those others are priceless too... such a shame I never can remember quotes well enough to re-quote them!

The photos are lovely, too. :)

Absolute delight to see the pictures and read the quotes. Last one did make quite sense about life..imagination and fiction do take a major role.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
