That's My World!


And how is your world this week? What is it about your world that you love, enjoy, wish you could change?? That's My World is hosted each week by Klaus and the My World team, Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and me. Click on the icon and share your world with others from all over Our World!

The weather in Seattle this week has been good, bad and everything in between, but there's always much to be grateful for and I am -- even though sometimes I have to look a little harder than usual! Hey, keeps me on my toes!



Life is like a ten-speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use.
~ Charles Schulz



When I was young I was called a rugged individualist. When I was in my fifties I was considered eccentric. Here I am doing and saying the same things I did then and I'm labeled senile. ~ George Burns



Life is nothing without friendship. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero



While we are postponing, life speeds by. ~ Seneca



Everything has been figured out, except how to live. ~ Jean-Paul Sartre



Life is a ticket to the greatest show on earth. ~ Martin H. Fischer



For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life. ~ Albert Camus

  9. As usual Sylvia you found so much of beauty to show us in your world and great quotes too. I love the turtles in a line on the log. I have taken similar shots of turtles on logs here in the water but the lighting is never good enough to get a shot like the one in this post. I love it.

  10. The turtle shot is awesome! So is the rose. And of course, those sunsets are to die for.

    You want to talk weather? The weather here has mainly been bad, bad and ... worse. This time last week the overnight low was 85°F. It's been obscene. We're finally supposed to get a break later this week (might get below 90° even!). I'm holding my breath and hoping. And staying inside as much as possible in the meantime.

  28. Your turtles stole my heart. I haven't seen to many here this year. Maybe they migrated west? If they know about the sunsets and mountains (if they have seen your blog), yes!
