Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
~ Hans Christian Andersen



Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you've never been hurt and live like it's heaven on Earth.



The healthiest response to life is joy. ~ Deepak Chopra



When you behold another with the eyes of love, you see your own magnificence too.
~ Lee Jampolsky



Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. ~ Mark Twain

  1. Some great quotes here Sylvia, and a butt-kicking hydrangea too (that is what that is, right?)

    Always a pleasure... and yes, I'm profoundly grateful for the beauty in my life -- especially lately.

  14. Speaking as a DC-area resident, I can tell you that Mark Twain definitely has a point. I wonder if he ever said anything about hydrangeas? Love your snaps!

  17. A beautiful and serene world you have! My grandmother had hydrangeas like that along one side of her house. And I love your shots of the harbor and sky.

  18. Beautiful shots, I especially love the flowers. That's something I miss here in the dry high altitude, it's very difficult to grow anything like that.

  37. Thanks for stopping my to drop your line in at my blog this week. The marina in your pictures looks like a busy one. Ours is getting a complete overhaul this fall. In fact, every boat has to be removed before the work can begin. At least ours is small enough to put on a trailer. I'm not sure where all the larger boats are going to find a place to stay. - Margy
