To be great, be whole;
Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you.
Be whole in everything. Put all you are
Into the smallest thing you do.
So, in each lake the moon shines with splendor
Because it blooms up above.
Fernando Pessoa
Love the photo. Love the Confucius quote. Love the Pessoa quote in Paula’s comment!
Yes!
Gorgeous Paula, just gorgeous. Thank you, my friend.
Yes, and to Sofia’s post, I would add, “and, Love You and the beauty and sensibility you bring to our days!”
Thank you Diane!
NIce work, cousin. What are you shooting with these days?
I have a Nikon D5100 that I bought earlier last year, with two lenses. I love it. Love it. Love it. And looking forward to getting the wide angle lens for the gorgeous expanse of the north country.
