  7. Ahhh - springtime in the Pac NW! There's nothing like it. I love that last sky photo of the wispy clouds, and I always love the great quotes you find to go along with your beautiful photos.

  9. Brilliant photos, Sylvia! And the quotes are great too. I like:"We don't stop playing because we grow old; We grow old because we stop playing". One of our Dutch Psychologists wrote a book on this subject, called"Homo Ludens", meaning:"The playing Human".We play all the time, planning for instance a sudden invasion of many relatives, which would never happen of course.
