That's My World!

That's My World is hosted each week by Klaus and the My World team, Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and me. Join us and share your world with others from all over Our World! Just click on the post title, read the rules, sign up and play with us! 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 had it all this week! Beautiful, colorful, gray and gloomy, blue and clear! All you have to do is wait for the right color! Unfortunately, I'm the impatient kind!  But here is a sample of my world this past week!!
A man begins cutting his wisdom teeth the first time he bites off more than he can chew.
Herb Caen
 
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson


Be happy. It's one way of being wise.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius

Cleverness is not wisdom.
Euripides

Don't taunt the alligator until after you've crossed the creek.

    I've long known that your part of the world is beautiful, but these photos are stunning. I especially like the beach picture with the snow-covered mountains in the background.

    Such attractive water scapes, especially the one with the sail boat.
    Being happy and wise: not so easily achieved.

    My favorite is the sailboat picture, Sylvia. It looks very serene floating along the shore’s edge. I agree with Emerson. Nature can’t be rushed or ruffled. It goes at its own pace and will not be hurried by mankind’s impatience. It would do well to go with its flow.
