That's My World

Look around you! What makes up your world? What do you love about it? What do you hate about it? My World is the place you can share that with others and it is hosted each week by Klaus and the My World Team -- Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and me! So click on the icon, sign in and not only share your world but have the opportunity of seeing the world of many others! The least expensive way I know to see the very best of all our worlds.

We finally had some sun, I finally had a car and I headed out to my favorite places and a couple of areas I hadn't been before. I never tire of the places and things that I see in my world these days!



To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
Emily Dickinson



All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Marie Curie



Nature is the art of God.
Dante Alighieri



Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow.
Mahatma Gandhi



It's good to shut up sometimes.
Marcel Marceau



Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.
Chinese Proverb



It is never too late to be what you might have been. ~ George Eliot



And a moon in a blue sky!

  17. Sylvia, glad you are back on the road. I love the pictures of the turtles taking in the sun and the Chinese Proverb is my favourite quote. Your header photo is stunning. We haven't had nice weather since I got back, today it is blowing over a 100kph cool and wet and Ontario from whence I came is sunny and 30*C...what gives!!!!
    Have a wonderful week and smiles

  29. Gorgeous and spring-like shots. Love the blossoms and that moon - fabulous! - it looks as if it is swimming in the pool of the skies.

  30. Each photo is just gorgeous, Sylvia. I especially like the turtles balancing on a log, the sunset and the purple flower.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I like the mama and papa turtle taking baby turtles for a walk on the log. I wonder what they will do when they reach the end? jump into the water?

  36. Sylvia, these are all fantastic images of the world as you see it!
    I must confess that looking at the little turtles (snapping turtles, by any chance? *grin*) I had to laugh out loud when I read the capture by Marcel Marceau. The last one, with the moon, is an outstanding work of art. Are you on any site where you offer your pictures for sale?http://www.redbubble.com/ (Authorblog had a post on it)

  37. Love that header photo - beautiful.

    The Marcel Marceau quote is too funny - yeah, he really needed to shut up sometimes, didn't he?

  38. Hi Sylvia,
    mi sono piaciute molto le foto...
    soprattutto la n.2 - n.3 - n.4
    Il giardino della n.2 è veramente meraviglioso !
    Chi mai sarà il suo giardiniere ?
    Happy day :-)
