Living in the here and now...

The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can.

ADD COLORS TO YOUR LIFE

Who poured the water inside the coconut?

There is sweet water inside a coconut. Who poured the water inside the coconut? Was it the work of any man? No.Only the Divine can do such a thing.

ADD COLORS TO YOUR LIFE!

When was the last time...

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?
Ralph Marston

Hi my friends,

I wasn't surprised that so many of you liked that old and beautiful Studebaker car in my last post yesterday. It was indeed the perfect match together with those pastel Florida colors of that old time Motel in New Smyrna Beach. I fell in love too with the subject at the first moment.

I have not to much to say today. It's Saturday and weekend anyway for you. The best thing to say is only: ENJOY your days off, enjoy your life!

Tomorrow is my "Wordless Sunday" again, be there....! ;)

Among the Palms in Florida

Captured at the Space Coast in Florida

In Florida among the palms



Everybody sings of the sunny South

That's the song that clings to the singer's mouth

They ragtime it and boost the climate

Way up to the sky



I

Never cared a lot for the Swanee shore

There's another spot that I'm rooting for

I've been there and I must declare

It can't be praised too high



[Refrain:]

If I had my way, I'd always stay

In Florida among the palms

With its peaceful air of "I don't care"

And lazy atmosphere that calms

My one favorite haunt

Is a palm tree, and all I want

Is someone just to rest in my arms

I'd love to live among the bamboo huts, the coco nuts

There's something in the climate that charms

Heaven's corridor is sunny Florida

Home of the shelt'ring palms



[2nd verse:]

Florida was named very prettily

By the man who claimed its discovery

He spent hours among the flowers

And called it "God's Land"



And

Nature seems to sigh "it's my favorite"

That's the reason why Heaven gave her it

It was born from a diamond worn

Upon an Angel's hand





I hope you'll enjoy the picture - with the lyric.

Thanks for your visit, my friends.

Hi my friends,



I think, in this quote is a lot of truth involved, isn't it? ...*smile*... it's useful in many situations in life - so then, remember this words the next time....LOL...



Thank you all for the kind comments and compliments to my post. Love you all!

Have a wonderful day and see you tomorrow again...

Hi my friends,

longtime friends know it already, I LOVE palm trees and I love to photograph them since many years now. Have a look in my old archives from Key West - going back to the year 2006, my very first beginning of blogging. I fell in love with this tropical trees and never lost the passion :)

Thank you so much for your comments yesterday. Yes, we are still sitting here at the Space Coast, waiting for the next Shuttle Launch coming up next Monday night at 01.58 AM. I hope I can do some snaps, if the weather is good. I'm excited already :)

Stay with me and enjoy your day!
Susanne
