Weekly Photo Challenge: Change

I can’t conceive of cooking in a sunny place like Florida

because my motivation comes from the changing seasons.

That’s why I decided to live in New York.

Autumn leaves

You must take personal responsibility.

You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind,

but you can change yourself.

That is something you have charge of.

Jim Rohn

Golden trees

To be interested in the changing seasons

is a happier state of mind

than to be hopelessly in love with spring.

George Santayana

Summer at the river

When the seasons shift,

even the subtle beginning,

the scent of a promised change,

feel something stir inside me.

Hopefulness? Gratitude? Openness?

Whatever it is, it’s welcome.

Kristin Armstrong

Filtered sunlight

For me it was sort of career suicide to work in color,

but I did it because I perceived myself

from an early stage

to be interested in seasonality –

the changing of the seasons –

that’s what I deeply loved.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up

Although spiders scare most people, when viewed from close up their detail is astounding. These photos were taken when a spider was making his home between some trees in our garden.

 The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity 
To accept the things I cannot change; 
Courage to change the things I can; 
And wisdom to know the difference.

It can be a movie, a phone conversation, a sunset –

tears are words waiting to be written.”

Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer Lovin’

We escaped some of the South African winter when we holidayed in Thailand earlier this month. July on Koh Samui is hot!

These photos are of my granddaughter, Emma and her mom, Janda, enjoying some summer lovin’.
