Contained in this short Life
Are magical extents ...
~Emily Dickinson
Nature, my immortal mother,
You give me a brief lifetime
Yet you put immense designs in my heart ...
Look at me, still unripe
Yet full of hidden powers,
Still becoming.
~Gabriel D'Annunzio

ReplyDeleteI love the Albert Einstein quote - Al is one of my heroes, and I have a few of his quotes decorating the walls of my classroom. Might have to add this one...
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, as always, your photos are stunning.

Wonderful "naturally" autumn photos. Great work with the quotation.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous images and inspiring quotes. What more could one want to start the day! I think your post is all the more poignant because of the "simplicity" of the images and for the fact that you've managed to capture their essence; they seem to shine from within...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post. I really enjoyed the quotes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I love the quotes you chose to accompany them.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are amazing! Love each one more than the other! Your quotes are perfect inspiration for taking a nature walk.
ReplyDeleteI love how all these quotes from different people seem to link together into one thematic poem. Your images work well with the words too.

Loved all of these images and quotes, Bonnie, but I was thrilled to discover that wonderful quote from Simone de Beauvoir: "Every country walk in an act of adoration." Priceless!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteThat white fluff looks gorgeous in itself, but must also be very receptive to blends.
How come I missed this last week?
D'Annunzio's words are beautiful.
ReplyDelete"Look at me, still unripe
Yet full of hidden powers,
Still becoming."
It reminds me of possibilities. Thank you for stopping by with your kind words.
Nature sure does some beautiful work and as always, you capture it beautifully, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat work, amazing..
