Our World!


Happy Monday and welcome to Our World!!
Time to share the beauty and all the other facets of our world as we see them!!  Autumn has definitely put a foot in the door of my world and after a LONG, unusually hot summer, I’m delighted to greet Sir/Lady Autumn! I’m sharing two seasons of a favorite tree of mine located at the harbor in Seattle. Spring and Fall and what a difference!! And I’ve also included a shot of the harbor that is gorgeous regardless of the season!! Hope you enjoy and that you have a wonderful new week!!!  And if you would enjoy some great photos check out this site!!!

One Quiet Moment

The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many.
-- Oliver Wendell Holmes

Have a Happy Sunday!!

Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower.
-- Albert Camus
And we still have some green in the wooded areas!
Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile.
-- William Cullen Bryant

Youth is like spring, an over praised season more remarkable for biting winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits.
-- Samuel Butler

For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.
-- Edwin Way Teale

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
