This week left a lot to be desired weather wise, but after all it is December so I really can't complain. Besides I had a quick visit from my youngest who was up from Portland for a few hours! Always fun!  And I dug through my files and enjoyed remembering those better weather days of yore!!

Know how to live the time that is given you.

When what we are is what we want to be, that's happiness.

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

    Great I love these pics, your sky posts are always amazing! The likes of that first photo I've seen just once in my lifetime in Turkey. For me that scene is so mystical, maybe because we don't have that here in the tropics. By the way, since this morning, i have been waiting for the OWW meme to come up, but I am already about to sleep and it is still not up. Tomorrow morning when i wake up a lot of entries will already be there, hahaha! I guess our time difference doesn't suit my posting time.

    I'm glad you had a nice visit.
    Isn't digital nice? So much easier than searching through a box of slides.

    This is a lovely look at your world as usual, Sylvia. Wondering if the seagulls are having a discussion about that one crow that is hanging around. :)

    All is so true about happiness. I like the view of snow-capped mountain ranges over the sea.

    I’m amazed how limitless your friend’s creativeness. What fun and interesting formula! It must be derived from your smiles. Have happy days ahead, Sylvia.

    Beautiful shots as always, Sylvia. Sometimes grey skies, rain, and fog can create a wonderful feeling of its own, especially in the trees - I've got a couple of shots from my visit to your area like that. I hope you're having a great week, and give Sam a pat from me and Socks.

    These colourful views of your world are mesmerising! Smiled when I saw the birds gathered on the road! But especially love the beautiful play of light in reflection and scudding clouds in the last two photos!
