Weekend Reflections

Weekend Reflections is hosted by James each week beginning Friday at 11 AM Eastern Standard Time. It's another wonderful way of opening your eyes to new and different kinds of beauty. Click on the web address under the blog title and sign up to play with us!  We had the same come-and-go sun this week and none of it enough or for long enough to be able to catch any reflections! SO --- yeah, last week's actions all over again. Hope you all have a lovely weekend with SUN!

We hear nothing so clearly as what comes out of silence.  — David James Duncan

There are two ways to spread happiness; either be the light who shines it or be the mirror who reflects it.

Seek the wisdom of the ages, but look at the world through the eyes of a child.

    I'm looking closely at the last photo - was Johnny Depp in your neighborhood? LOL!

    As usual - the ship for me :-)
    This replica must have cost a fortune.

    I really try to live Ron Wild's words... It's humbling. Yet so joyful. Wise reflections today, Sylvia. Hope you have a sunny weekend too!

    Sea, dog and ship, that was a whole journey! The frames make them look so much more too.

    Yeah, we all have the eyes of the child somewhere but they are just hidden so often.

    I can relate to the lack of sun. Our lack of sun came in the form of snow, all 15" of it!

    These are all very beautiful photos, so different but pleasing, each in its own way.

    Lovely weekend to you too Silvia.
    We have sun this weekend and all what comes with a clear winter sky: very low temperatures.

    Through the bounty of silence, the treasure of happiness and joy is rediscovered. The jewels were always in plain sight, but were just beneath the reflection of those wondrous things that were rising to our attention.

    Lovely photos Sylvia. We just moved to Winthrop Wa again to enjoy the mountains and to live on the edge of the wilderness.

    That first picture is beautiful; and of course I have to love the last one, since it's a very "DawnTreader-ish" ship!
