Tranquility

The poor long for riches, the rich long for heaven, but the
    wise long for a state of tranquility.

Hi my friends,

Happy Monday!!! I hope you had all a great Thanksgiving Weekend with your loved ones and friends. By us it was very quiet and relaxed.

It's raining like crazy today in the Sunshine State. 

But, we need the rain badly and that's why it's good and we are thankful for the water - it washes off our car too  :))

Thank you very much for all your wonderful comments yesterday, 

I'm happy you liked my post so much.

My Wordless Sunday #41

Perspective...

Distance not only gives nostalgia, but perspective, and maybe objectivity.

My Wordless Sunday - #28

I open my eyes...

At any given moment, I open my eyes and exist. 

And before that,
during all eternity, what was there? Nothing.

~Basho~

Hi my friends,

I love this proverb from Basho, a ZEN master. I have a collection from his sayings and they are all so simple, so deep in thoughts and so true. I hope you like it too.

Thank you for all the kind comments yesterday - you all made my day :)

Have a nice Thursday!

Susanne

To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.

A way of feeling...

Zen Design

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.
Aaron Siskind

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.

Susanne

Abstract Reality II

An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight... the truly wise person is colorblind.
~Albert Schweitzer~



Hi my friends,

thanks again and again for all the wonderful comments and compliments to my
"Abstract Reality" picture from yesterday. This one today is in red and is a follow up on the blue from yesterday. Different but strong too.
Don't think that I'm on a "Color therapy" trip now........LOL... :))
I feel fine, don't worry....*smile*...

It's weekend again and it's warming up slowly in Florida. It's very nice and in the 70's today. Just to let you people know, up there in the North: pack your bags and run away from that cold and snow. Come down here...
Florida needs some more tourists here! :))

Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm.
Susanne



CALENDARS 2010 - CALENDARS 2010
who wants to have another one?

Where the light is, there is also darkness

Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides.
~ Junichiro Tanizaki~



Hi my friends,

Thank you again for all your wonderful comments to my post 2 days ago.
Yep, you're reading right, I have not posted anything yesterday - I took a day off.
After 1109 posts (one almost every day since 2006) I'm getting tired posting,
to be honest to you :)

Maybe it's good to have a little creative pause of a day or two in between, so I'm not boring you to much with my "blablabla's". I hope you'll still be coming back to have a look and to enjoy!

I'm working also on other projects and for me they have more priority just now.
But, this is now not a "good bye for ever" - I'm still around!

Stay with me and don't forget me :)
Love you all!
Susanne
