Instead of complaining that the rosebush is full of thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.
~Proverb
"One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words." --Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
I LOVE taking pictures and I LOVE poetry and quotes. So...in 2010 I am going to attempt to take one picture a day and post it along with a quote or poem.Whether it be something I did that day, something that made me happy, something that made me sad, something I thought was beautiful, something I thought was not, something that made me cry, something that made me laugh...we shall see.

I LOVE taking pictures and I LOVE poetry and quotes. So...in 2010 I am going to attempt to take one picture a day and post it along with a quote or poem.
Whether it be something I did that day, something that made me happy, something that made me sad, something I thought was beautiful, something I thought was not, something that made me cry, something that made me laugh...we shall see.

There is something about this shot that sings to me. Can't put my finger on it... it's dreamy. I love those puffy, white flowers. And at this angle, I think I see the appeal that the bees see!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite quotes. A friend of mine once bitterly said to me, "everything always comes up roses for you," and I replied, "oh I get weeds too, but I pick the roses." Life is what you make it. Gorgeous photo.
