That first shot is stunning!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Sylvia - was the second one taken on a cruise? I'll give Socks an extra pat today, and please give Sam one from us. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI always love your sea views! Today the 2nd one is my favorite, maybe more simple but filled with romantism and nostalgy..
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week-end , dear Sylvia!
Both are beautiful, but that first one just speaks to me. The setting sun makes gorgeous reflections with textures across the water.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have a wonderful weekend, mon amie, filled with activities and a camera in hand!
Bises,

Your water and sky shots are always great!
ReplyDeleteI really like Oliver Wendell Holmes' attitude. I'm going to have to keep that in mind. Your pictures are beautiful as usual.
ReplyDeleteYou make a great superwoman!
The top one is glorious and the bottom one reminds me of when I was in the navy setting out to sea. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteThat second one gave rise to some puzzlement: Is it a reflection, a photo through a window - or both?
ReplyDeleteoh, today you are superwoman :) that´s why your pics are sooo fantastic! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Sylvia, and I love the quotes as I have just retired finally...more time for blogging...:)
ReplyDeletethe 2nd quote made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteI especially love your quotes, Sylvia. They're both true, but the second one made me laugh. Funny how sometimes, my father used to describe someone as old (always in a kind way) and then realize they were younger than he was. Now, I catch myself almost doing the same thing. That first shot is wonderfully dramatic, by the way.
ReplyDeleteHolmes was so correct. :))
ReplyDeleteThe 1st pic is a total winner!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

Yes, it's a delight to see this excellent sky and its reflections on the sea. Greetings and happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteOliver Wendell Holmes was such a wise man. I have said exactly what he says about old age . . . it is 15 years older than whatever age I am.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots, Sylvia! I hope you have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflective captures and quotes!
ReplyDeletei saw HIM on the first image...
ReplyDeleteblessed weekend Sylvia!
These are wonderful! I love the thoughts but most especially the images.
ReplyDeleteThese are two very original and gorgeous skies. I love the color of the first one and the originality of the second.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sunset indeed..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots - and that last quote is perfect! I think I shall adopt that one! And your headers are such fun!
ReplyDeleteAmazing reflections, first shot is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images Sylvia, the sunset in the first is spectacular but I also love the view through the glass.
ReplyDeleteWonderful reflections (both the pictures and, in the other sense, the words!)
ReplyDeleteThe photos are very nice. The sentiments? I dunno. I'm getting older. I don't like it. And the worst part is that life ain't gonna get any better! Can't fight it, either. So, you just keep putting one foot in front of the other and doing the things you can do, and hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather be a few years younger. I think. What with global warming and the political and economic carnage around the world, maybe I wouldn't.
I'm smiling, though.
And I'm going to play golf tomorrow. That's something! Especially when I beat the 50-somethings! Hah!
