California Quail

"The song-birds leave us 
at the summer's close, 
Only the empty nests 
are left behind.
 And pipings of the quail 
among the sheaves."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow






"Every new beginning 
comes from some 
other beginning's end."
                         Seneca



A Bevy of Quail!
"Deer walk upon our mountains,and quail 
Whistle about us their spontaneous cries; 
Sweet berries ripen in the wilderness; 
And, in the isolation of the sky , 
At evening, casual flocks of pigeons make 
Ambiguous undulations as they sink, 
Downward to darkness, on extended wings."
                      Wallace Stevens


More group names for birds



"We are very good judges 
for the mistakes of others, 
but very good defense lawyers 
for our own mistakes.
             Nicky Gumbel

"Let us never know 
what old age is. 
Let us know the 
happiness time brings, 
not count the years." 
                    Ausonius 







"Just becaus
you are struggling 
does NOT mean 
you are failing. 




Every great success 
requires 
some kind of 
struggle."
            Nicky Gumbel 




"Nobody 
looks stupid
when they're
having fun."

"And now we welcome 
the new year.
Full of things that 
have never been."
                                    Rainer Maria Rilke







"Forgive quickly. 
Kiss Slowly.
Love truly. 
Laugh uncontrollably
And never regret 
ANYTHING.
Especially that which 
makes you smile."
                                       Mark Twain




"The only journey 
is the one within."
               Rainer Maria Rilke








"We shall not cease 
from exploration, and the 
end of all our exploring 
will be to arrive 
where we started 
and know the place 
for the first time."
                 T. S. Eliot
