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
Love that orange rose.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series of shots from your world.
I love that last one. Stunning!

What a beautiful world you have. Delightful pictures; the snow-topped mountains look like they're floating above the clouds in the 5th one.
ReplyDeletebeautiful turtles...
ReplyDeleteI somehow don't like sunsets.. :( but I love when the sun rises just behind the mountains and the sky looks just perfect...
Hope you had a lovely weekend..
I love the honu (turtles) and that quote is sooooo true. :) Love 'em all my friend. Have a great Monday :)
ReplyDeleteThose turtles in a row are so adorable! Great pics and colours... have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteYou always find so many beautiful places in your world. I think you must have a wonderful positive attitude. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat offerings again. Just love those snow capped mountains and that Rose! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteAs 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.
ReplyDeleteThe turtle shot is awesome! So is the rose. And of course, those sunsets are to die for.
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
The turtle family made me smile happily and the skyshots are awesome :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and hope the weather will be better soon!

ReplyDeleteYour part of the world is simply beautiful. Seems so peaceful with nature close by.

Hard to choose a favorite from this collection but I have to say that rose stands out. Just gorgeous!
