It's time once again to share some of the many things that make up your world! That's My World is hosted each week by Klaus and the My World team of Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and me. Click on the icon, sign up and show us your world.
The rain and gray skies have returned and it's been difficult to find anything very new to photograph in my world for right now. Have to admit that the gloomy weather has gotten to me this time. I did have a reason to take another look at how much our friends contribute to our lives, to our world. So, forgive the repeats of any photos and enjoy the words about friendship.
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. - Elizabeth Foley
If one is estranged from oneself, then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others. - Anne Morrow Lindberg
What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?
- George Eliot
A sense of duty is useful in work, but offensive in personal relations. People wish to be liked, not be endured with patient resignation. - Bertrand Russell
True friendship consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and value. - Ben Jonson
Friendship is a sheltering tree. - Samuel Coleridge
Sylvia Dear, I am so sorry for the loss of you friend. When we lose friends, we also loose a lot of our memories that they can no longer remind us of.
ReplyDeleteSuperb photos and sentiments.
Hugs and good wishes . . .Arija
Your lavender is spectacular. I love lavender bushes.
ReplyDeleteYou could have saved a couple of these for SkyWatch! Amazing sunset in the last one and the cloudscape in the 4th one is not only amazing, but unique.
ReplyDeleteYou always do right by Your World Sylvia.
Very beautiful and charming shots. My favorite is third one.
ReplyDeleteThe quotations match the images beautifully Sylvia. Hugs to you across the big blue thingy! xxxx
ReplyDeleteSylvia I loved this post about friendship and the shots are all so beautiful. I hope the gloomy weather will change but you have such great shots to pull from whether current or past.
ReplyDeleteSylvia, wonderful photos! Love the scenery, sky and the cute little dog.
ReplyDeleteLovely pics, I especially enjoyed the first one!
ReplyDeleteI love the lavender pix. I planted three lavender this spring and they are doing just as well as your plant is doing. They just make my day each time I see them. I can't wait to make a bouquet of dried lavender.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week.
Beautiful world! Your quotes and pictures tie in so well with the tribute to your friend a couple of posts down. I am so sorry for the loss.
ReplyDeleteHi Sylvia questa foto oggi sono bellissime...
ReplyDeleteLa tua casa è in riva al mare ?
Buona giornata :-))
Your post was wonderful to read now when I am sitting and listening to opera music a perfect match :)
ReplyDeleteTake care and I hope the weather will change soon :)
Your world in your archives is beautiful again this week, Sylvia. I sure hope the sun comes out soon.
ReplyDeleteWe have sun and NEED rain. How about if we trade?
Being a mad lover of rain it surely did sound nice to me ;) The tree quote reminded me of the German saying, that "old trees don't allow anything/-one to bend them.". Please have a nice Tuesday.

My World and wisdom combined is a good idea. I like to read those wisdoms as they always give me something to think. Bertrand was the one for me today.
ReplyDeleteThe snowy mountians tell me that soon it will be skiing season, and my son will be asking, can I go?
ReplyDeleteI like that pure white rose.

ReplyDeleteGeorge Elliot has was spot on, on that one. Good job! I fall way short on everyone of your quotes but I still like the reminders.

Snow capped mountains always take my breath away! And the flowers are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh Sylvia, I just love all your photos. I've been enjoying your quotes about friendship, especially since I've been talking to my daughter about it. She's trying so hard to be a good friend to somebody who keeps hurting her. Sigh... Hard for me to listen to.
ReplyDeleteI love every single one of these, but, that top photo is something very special! Wow! That sky is so intense and really grabs your attention...and, the sunset...another big wow, Sylvia!
ReplyDeleteDespite the fact that "Global Warming" is missing, your pictures are very nice !
