Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.
Samuel Smiles
We either make ourselves happy or miserable. The amount of work is the same.   Carlos Castaneda
The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.   Henry Ward Beecher

    Our skies here are still bouncing from gray to blue with the winds and the 5 mountain wildfires. Things are a bit quieter tonight and it does not smell as bad. Love these shots, and your quotes this week really touched home with me. Hope all is well out there. Hope to visit in August. genie

    Your sky shots are stunning...as always! Loved the quotes too. We have cloudy days and sudden showers. Our skies couldn't have been grayer.

    Hello to more good series, it can perceive the soul of the wind
    and like playing with sunlight caresses the soul with a gentle whisper.
    Very good photos.
