    Jack - Well, I have to admit I never thought of him as a philosopher -- great or otherwise, but I liked what he said -- assuming he did indeed say it! Enjoy your day, Jack! Thanks for the visit/comment as always!

    The good thing about the news is that it gives us a good reason to spend more time outdoors. And that gives us beautiful captures like the ones you've shared with us. Have a wonderful weekend.

    Hi, Sylvia. It's always fun to visit here to see different header each time, breathtaking photos, and quotes. When I see the sunset over the water in summer, I always feel the scorching sun is going to bathe to soften the heat of the world. I love it, and the one of the lace curtain as well. Have a nice weekend.
