"There is nothing
in a caterpillar
that tells you
that it is going to be a
butterfly. "
" Happiness
is not something ready-made.
It comes from your own
actions. "
Dalai Lama
Did you hear about the snail
who was robbed
by a turtle?
When asked for details
she said:
"Oh it all happened
SO fast! "
" The tree which moves some to tears of joy
is in the eyes of others
only a green thing
that stands in the way.
that stands in the way.
Some see nature all ridicule and deformity...
and some scarce see nature at all.
and some scarce see nature at all.
But to the eyes of imagination,
nature is
nature is
imagination itself. "
William Blake

Beautiful post - as they all are. I adored the dragon boat and the Dalai Lama quote. Thank you so much.
What a great way to bein my morning as I watch Mpother Nature deliver her white blanket...:)JP
Some great quotes today. Have a great weekend :)
Love the snail and the turtle - and the Fuller quote.
Have great day!
I like the Fuller Quote, but then you can say the same thing about food.
And you can quit keeping all the heat now. Winter came this morning at 15f. One more week then Spring arrives so you just have to send a little bit this way.
Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.
- John Lennon
Have a great weekend!

The amble was as pleasant as ever.
"The tree which moves some to tears of joy"..
Every evening I can take a last look at "my tree".....
With a wish for a pleasant weekend

That so made me laugh!
The Fuller quote is lovely. I love the pictures. Have a happy sunday! Cheers, Ruby
It's so true, how different people regard nature. You know I love it. I think there is a special corner of hell for real estate developers.
I just read an article about an infestation of African giant snails moving into the US. Your snail pic reminded me of it.
That Dalai Lama is a very wise man. Loved the turtle and the snail tale, funny! If only everything moved at a slightly slower pace. Hope you're having a great weekend Cloudia.
I'm really becoming a fan of William Blake.
That caterpillar is awesome.
Great quotes as always. Love the colorful captures.
Oh that poor snail! Your first photo makes think of what a great idea for an ice-cream store....or a coffee shop... on a much larger scale of course... imagine the people that would stop to order something out of that as a coffee or ice-cream stand! I hope your weekend is filled with joy!
Mahalo for sending some warm thoughts and photos. It went from 7 to 14 degrees this morning in K.C.! Making in-roads into filing in my new 2nd bedroom "office." DrumMajor
Excellent captures. Love the colors.
lovely pics!!

Beautiful color.
Great collection of quotes. Richard Bach (no relations) has a great quote about the caterpillar and butterfly too: ''What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.'
Lovely photos as always, dear Cloudia. I think that snail/turtle incident happened at the corner Shell station. ;)
I was looking for a Happiness quote the other day..this one is perfect. ~Mary
Haha, dragon boat in the year of the dragon.
Greetings,
