Yes…in photo and word and deed. Would that I could keep it so.

“I never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude.” Henry David Thoreau
yes….
Amazing the serenity that comes from saying no to those things that we don’t want to do (anymore).
And speaking of beautiful pics…this is the perfect one to go with your quote
Thanks, agree with you Dale.
The quote reminds me of the exchange between Emerson and Thoreau. When he advocated to: Simplify, simplify, simplify. And the response came back: one simplify is enough
Smiling. LOVE THAT.

Made me just think of a papercut artist!!! I knew a friend who made those incredible thingies for a living. She also painted the most delicate things like a chick getting out of its egg shells – so delicate. BUT having said that: Yes, there would be plenty of stuff to cut out!
What talent to do that!
Beautiful capture and quote. So are you sitting there yet? 😏
Sitting? There? Anywhere? No. 😒
Boy oh boy! 🙄 ha
