Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them. ~John Shirley
If you would like to spoil the day for a grouch, give him a smile. ~Author Unknown
A colorful life : the 3rd one
Newer and newer
children
greening,
leafing....
some,
so little,
and cuddled
on the hip
of the
older yellowed ones;
while come mischievous
spiky teenagers,
show attitude
on the
rocks.
Shorn of any hair,
the parents,
display
their wear and tear
alongside,
toughened mature minds,
rocks in repose,
with an eye on the
grand old ones far away.
While
Away from the trappings
of material life,
the
white haired ones
myopically watch,
shivering and blue
amidst the snow;
their life
as it once was,
and take comfort,
watching,
in full bloom,
the
greens and blues and yellows
of their Colorful Past...

Give a man a fish and he has food for a day; teach him how to fish and you can get rid of him for the entire weekend. ~Zenna Scha

I love the families quote. I sure do know a few nuts. Hmmm... they might think I'm one, too.
Lovely shots and such wonderful quotes.
