| 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! So! How is your world this week? Have you taken time to see the beauty there? What is it about your world that makes you smile or laugh or feel grateful for? My world has shrunk this week as my car finally died -- I do mean DEAD as in no more personal transportation. But that doesn't eliminate the beauty of my world, it's just that the one I share with you each week is likely to shrink some! So, let me share some of what I had captured before the car's demise! And believe me, I'm depending on Mark Twain's humor, to brighten and add laughter to the day! |
 |
I must have a prodigious amount of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up! — Mark Twain |
 |
Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it. — Mark Twain |
 |
A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory. — Mark Twain |
 |
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. — Mark Twain |
 |
All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure. — Mark Twain Denial is much more then an Egyptian River. — Mark Twain |
 |
Out of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most. — Mark Twain There are many humorous things in the world; among them, the white man's notion that he less savage than the other savages. — Mark Twain |
Beautiful shots! Sorry about the car!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots! Love the sky and autumn colours in that first one. And, of course, the cute dog!
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting photo of Mojo's eyes. Gorgeous Monday photos, Sylvia!
ReplyDeleteYou probably need a car than we do. For the distances between places is not so extensive as they are in your country, besides we have good public transport.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your beautiful photos and Mark Twain.
Thanks for your comment. Fortunately my grandchildren are passionate readers like their mothers, who liked to read from an early age. I agree with you that the children of this time are mostly interested in computer games.It's a pity!
Beautiful world Sylvia. This has got to be my absolute favorite picture of Sam. :) Excellent series and I love all the quotes. Have a wonderful Monday :)
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes and photos as always, Sylvia. Your dog is too cute! I'm sorry to hear about your car - mine will hit 180,000 miles soon so I don't know how much longer it will last. But when it dies I will need to replace it as I must drive to work.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quotes, again! I especially the last quote about savages. How TRUE!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos too.
Hi Sylvia, I love the fall colors in the first two, the sky and water colors in the next three and the adorable doggie at the end!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. The scenery is awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh my, the combination of "ignorance and confidence". God help us!
ReplyDeleteWonderful set of photos and sayings....as ususal. Sorry about your car.
ReplyDeleteYou make my island look even tinier than it is with these spacious visitors and the doggie so cute.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, great shots and I love the quotes!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos of your world, and of course, Mark Twain has cheered me up no end as well! My world has shrunk - due to moving across the continent and trying to find my feet again. I am so sorry about your car. Thanks for this meme. I love it! Have a wonderful day, Sylvia. Blessings and (((hugs))) Jo
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes and lovely shots...as always. I feel sorry about your car.
ReplyDeleteWow, what colors fall is bringing you, and how wonderfully you capture them! I love this time of year.
ReplyDeletePictures are fabulous and it all go well with the quotes...Nice !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Sylvia! And I love the little pooch at the end! :)

Wonderful photos and the Mark Twain quotes are wonderful. I really enjoy reading them. Thanks for sharing Sylvia!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning set of photographs! Loved the Twain humor too. Don't know what to say about your car, but I sure wish you have a lovely week Sylvia.:)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures! They could be turned into paintings. :) I am sad to hear that your car died! When I was in high school, my car died--at a tow-away zone. Wishing you the best in getting another vehicle!
ReplyDeleteA great collection of shots as usual. I really like the one with the Space Needle way off in the distance.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots, Sylvia, your world is still beautiful. Your dog is very cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. I always appreciate your words of encouragement on my blog. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteSylvia, what a beautiful landscape you have and the colours are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the last picture :)
Hope you will have a great week!

Even though I've been a tourist in Seattle quite a few times, and driven through it many times, I think I've only been there a couple of times without a car, but I know what you're facing. I once had a car up and die on the freeway between Vancouver, BC, and the suburbs.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Mark Twain great? If he can make you laugh, or even just smile, after your loss of personal transportation, I'm very glad he left behind a great many wonderful quotations!!
Cheers, Kay
I hope you get the car problem solved, Sylvia. Although, I must say, if any of these lovely places are within walking distance, you are doing all right. I visited with a photographer this morning who is slightly handicapped and has some trouble getting around. His photos were gorgeous and all were taken from a vantage point in his own back yard. So...
ReplyDeleteThat first photo touches a chord in my heart. All the rest are also wonderful.
ReplyDeletebreathtaking images!
ReplyDeleteI hope the car situation gets resolved simply for you. I am sorry about your trouble.
ReplyDeleteThanks for these delightful images and words.
Gorgeous photos. Love your doggie! I think he likes to have his photos taken :)
ReplyDeleteps. hope your car troubles go away and you get a brand new one.
Every corner you pivot, there is beauty! Love your fall colors and the skies. Sorry about your car....
ReplyDeleteI love a blue eye hunk, He has such attractive eyes.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while - it's nice to see your consistancy. I am sorry about your car. I hope you find a good one soon. I bought a camera, not a great camera but better than what I had. We will see if I can learn to use it.
ReplyDeletethe panoramic view of the cove is beautiful! the Mark Twain's quotes and the look on your dog's face make me smile.:p
ReplyDeletehere's to a new car!:p
Hello Sylvie! Oh my, I guess your car couldn't be fixed by a nice young lad on a motorbike like mine was this week (my Monday post)! It may make your physical world smaller, not having a car, but luckily you have the whole of cyberspace to visit... including me in the Philippines! Humor certainly comes in many forms, life itself offers so much of it, but Twain certainly has his way with words. Again I like all the quotes, but the one that resonated most for me was: Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. Something bittersweet about that imagery, isn't there. Again, your photos are eye candy, and is that cutie pie your companion? Sylvie, may the rest of your week be bright!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful autumn My World posting
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week,
Greetings, Bram

Seen on My World Tuesday
Your part of the world is so beautiful and colourful. Love the doggie at the last photo.
ReplyDeleteSylvia these are serene and relaxing images to wake up to this early morning! What a sweet mug shot in the last image!Put a smile on my face! Fur friends will always do that to me!
ReplyDeleteLoved the quotes..thought provoking!
I'm now settled into my NEW nest and this meme might just be perfect to show and tell all about me discoveries in my new world! blessigns to you!
Your autumn is delectable and Mark Twain as insightful as ever.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week while the weather holds.

Your world is quite pretty these days! I love the colors and the sky is very photogenic! Mark Twain can sum it up in just a few words...Thank you for adding his quotes as they are something surely to think about! Have a great "rest of the week, Sylvia."
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos from your world Sylvia!

the first three photos are that kind of places I am always drawn to. I hope your carproblem will solve itself. :)
ReplyDeleteSylvia -- the pictures and quotes are wonderful as always. But I couldn't stop thinking about your car. Oh no..... is there public transportation easily available? I don't know exactly where in the Seattle area you are. And (for that matter) haven't been there in so long that I really don't know what's available anyway.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling for you.... sometimes I don't even want to go anywhere out of walking distance ... but when I need a car I need one. Yikes!!
Your car has taken you and your camera to some beautiful places! May the car rest in peace and I hope you find a new one to continue your journey! (But a bummer of a way to start the week!)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, especially the little schnauzer - too cute for words.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots as always, Sylvia! Love the quotes too.
