The lure of the distant and
the difficult is deceptive.
The great opportunity is
where you are.

There is a garden in every childhood,
an enchanted place where colors
are brighter, the air softer, and
the morning more fragrant
than ever again.

with you, you never
become older.

the earth so well if we had
had no childhood in it.

This hit home.
Beautiful photos, love the flowers and mural.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and happy new week!
Golly, a childhood with eternal sun. Wouldn't that be lovely.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could grow lantanas, they don't survive winter over here.
Love that shot of the pool.
ReplyDeleteThe pool looks refreahing. Nice photos and quotes and a beautiful mural. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteI like that first shot of the walkway with palm trees. I think Pixie is wondering if verbena will taste as good as catnip.
ReplyDeleteAwesome tree and sun shot!
ReplyDeleteTHe cartoon of a breaching whale is neat. Getting their enormous bodies out of the water is an amazing feat of strength! I don’t think anyone knows why they do it.
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com

Great whale.
ReplyDeleteThat pool looks SO refreshing. That's a lovely whale mural, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post.
ReplyDeleteAmazing pics, mural, Lovely Pixie :)
Have a nice week ahead.
Cool new banner and I really do feel like Peter Pan...
ReplyDeleteI like the lantana flowers. In Africa we had the flowers with lots of colours. In Australia they are considered an invasive species.
ReplyDeleteLovely mural Cloudia, thanks for participating in Monday murals.
