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?  Hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll finally be able to get moved -- didn't realize it would take so long to get all the info together that is needed. But they're dealing with us old guys and gals and government -- doesn't get anymore paper laden than that! Anyway, I can't wait to share pictures from my new "world" with you, but thought today that I'd look back over some of the places that I will miss!!

The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live.

    It looks as if spring is arriving in your place too ! I love the quote "The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live". That's so true ! but a long way until you finally get it !

    Great pics Sylvia. I love the Elbert Hubbard quote. One has to start from where one is, every day.
    I know so many people who are so busy working hards that they forget to live.

    My favorite is the one of the animated dog at the edge of the water. I think he is the midst of shaking off some water after a swim or perhaps he is sniffing the air. And I like the effect of incorporating the photograph into a picture frame. I thought you already moved, Sylvia, but now realize this is too lengthy a process! I’m sure it will be great to settle into your new home. :)

    Sylvia, if this is the world you're leaving, you have been one lucky lady. Your images reflect a peaceful and beautiful place. But knowing your eye for beauty, I know your new home will reveal a whole new world of photo opportunities for you to share with us. Trust it's all going well for you!

    It's a beautiful part of the world you live in, great shots, Sylvia. I'm looking forward to visiting the area again this summer. Best of luck with the move.

    I've started work on my new "Sunday Scans" meme, hopefully I can get it live in the next couple of weeks and try it out, see if there's any interest in that type of meme.

    What a beautiful place you moved from, Sylvia, and I love the quotes, especially Thomas Jefferson's. I hope your new surroundings are equally as beautiful! Is it a 55-and-older gate-lock community?

    was it too cold for anyone to be any the beach?

    We are supposed to be in fall, but it is getting cold. The same way, we lost our spring, we reckon we will lost fall too, and head staright to winter.

    Can you imagine me going to work in the morning in a jacket I wore last winter?

    I think the dog picture is my favorite. He is really "soaking" in the sea! Favorite quote is Thomas Jefferson's. What wisdom!

    Hi Silvia, lovely scenery and great quotes. I like the doggie singing or his he just getting the drops of water from his fur. It looks so spontaneous.
