Painting

 

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

~ Plutarch

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."

Red....

"If having a soul means

being able to feel love

and loyalty

and gratitude,

then animals are better off

than a ot of humans!" :)

Any glimpse into the life

of an animal quickens our own and

makes it so much the larger and better in every way

(John Muir)

 

 

..

Every great dream

begins with a dreamer!

Always remember, you have within you

the strength, the pacience,

and the passion to reach

for the stars and to change 

the world.

Rescue..

"The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life."

.. back to snow...

... at the end of April!!

On holidays in my favorite place at the mountains, hoping to get the smell of spring, ... I found out that winter didn't want to go away.... sending us a beautiful snow storm.

still Winter ....

 

Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere

and the circumference nowhere. - Blaise Pascal

Snow

 

 

 

When there's snow on the ground...

I like to pretend..

I'm walking on clouds!

 

 

Live ...

 

 

 

 

...  in the sunshine, swim in the river, drink the wild air.

 

Look around..

" That moment when you open your eyes,

and see the world around you as though it were

the first time."

Author: Katy Martin

I don't like formal gardens.

I like wild nature.

It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess.

 

 

Ice Bells

“The great miraculous bell of translucent ice is suspended in mid-air.

It rings to announce endings and beginnings. And it rings because there is fresh promise and wonder in the skies.

Its clear tones resound in the placid silence of the winter day, and echo long into the silver-blue serenity of night.

The bell can only be seen at the turning of the year, when the days wind down into nothing, and get ready to march out again.

When you hear the bell, you feel a tug at your heart.

It is your immortal inspiration.”


― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

Trail

 

 

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

 

Fog

I give thanks for the rainbows, for the butterflies,
for all creatures - large and small,
for the bright blue sky and the soft fog and the gentle rain,
for the tree veiled in the season's first frost,
for the baby's laugh, for the touch of a hand
and the whispered "I love you."
- J.L.H.

...

 

I've seen better days,

but I've also seen worse.

I don't have everything that I want,

but I do have all I need (..)

I woke up with some aches and pains,

but I woke up.

My life may not be perfect

but it's the one I chose!

 

 

Not having time lately

to visit you all as you deserve,

I am sorry for that.

 

Enjoy your WEEKEND!

 

 

 

 

 

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 !
