FELIZ NATAL * MERRY CHRISTMAS * FELIZ NAVIDAD * JOYEUX NOEL

THERE’S MUCH MORE TO CHRISTMAS

THAN CANDLE LIGHT AND XMAS CHEER

                IT’S THE SPIRIT OF SWEET FRIENDSHIP                 

THAT BRIGHTENS ALL YEAR THROUGH…

ITS THOUGHTFULLNESS AND KINDNESS,

ITS HOPE REBORN AGAIN, FOR PEACE

FOR UNDERSTANDING AND FOR GOODWILL TO MEN!

Painting

 

Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks.

~ Plutarch

LOVE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... ANY DAY WITHOUT IT

IS INCOMPLETE !!

 

 

Earth..

 

 

 

 

“Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.”
― John Lubbock

Let it snow!!

"Once we discover how to appreciate the timeless values in our daily experiences,

we can enjoy the best things in life."

FOLHAS

 

 

 

 

O VENTO SOPRA

DOCE E SERENO

NUM VOO RASANTE,

TOCANDO O DIA,

QUE SE ENCHE

DE DOURADO

NAS FOLHAS

...  QUE BAILAM

PELO CHÃO!

SURGE O OUTONO

DEIXANDO A SAUDADE

... DO CALOR DO VERÃO

Trail

 

 

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
― R.W.E.

 

Untouchable

 

 

The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man.

I know I do .. :)

 

 

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND !

 

 

Autumn

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished

Lao Tzu

Forest wilderness

 

 

 

 

 

The clearest way

into the Universe

is through a forest wilderness.

John Muir

 

 

Silence of nature

 

 

 

 

 

The silence of nature is very real.

It surrounds you, you can feel it,’

Ted Trueblood

The perfect Palette

 

 

 

Colors are the smiles of nature!

Connection

In Nature we never see anything isolated,

 but everything in connection with something else

 which is before it, beside it, under it, and over it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Fall shades

No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace,

as I have seen in one autumnal face.

John Donne

Pleasures

It is of the small joys and little pleasures
that the greatest of our days are built.

- Mary Anne Radmacher

Imagine...

.... how free, relieved and happy you would be, 

if you could stay calm and poised in the midst of

whatever is happening in your life,

not getting upset by what people say or do.

~ Remez Sasson

I remember...

I remember a hundred lovely lakes, and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees. The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk, opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets. It has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful. Whenever the pressure of our complex city life thins my blood and benumbs my brain, I seek relief  in the trail; and when I hear the fox wailing to the yellow dawn, my cares fall from me - I am happy. ~C.P.
