Evening, Wisdom, Beauty and Celebration!

First of all this evening I want to wish all my Jewish friends a very Happy Hanukkah!

    Wonderful! Several quote/authors I'm not familiar with -- I've made notes to look them up. The methphor about happiness/travel really resonated at this particular time.

    I really like Wilde's quote:
    "If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want."
    That is so true when you think about it.

    I just love that white rose photo! Whenever I take white flower photo, it comes out flat. This rose is soft and velvety and just beautiful.

    Beautiful, as always.
    I love the lone walker, seen from the perspective of the trees above.

    I have a pretty good attitude and although it may be contagious but I am thinking that my co-workers seem to have gotten the vaccine.

    I enjoy reading the quotes you select, Sylvia. So often you time them perfectly with whatever is going on in my life. ;-)

    If Jefferson and C.P. Snow were contemporaries, wonder if they'd have duelled over the pursuit of happiness.

    Beautiful scenery and shots, and I love the soft light of the menorah.
