“There is only one big hill that we must we climb in a lifetime. We are born at the bottom of it, and we die however far toward its summit we have climbed by the end of our days. This hill has been known among all peoples since the dawn of man in “Know Thyself”.”

Our best friends gave us this wonderful book, Almost Home, a Life-Style, a gift, on our 7th year wedding anniversary many years ago.
(The 2 photos were taken when Cheri and I visited the Denver Botanical Gardens 2years ago.)

Beautiful photos!
Lovely images Edgar and I enjoy the link to them.."Know Thyself"..you always give us something to think about. I enjoy that about your blog. Many thanks again for your kind comments, always appreciated!
Lovely cloud reflections!
Wonderful pictures. Oh, so many places I should go and take pictures.
Nice! I like the stillness and serenity of ponds.
The water is so still in that first photo that the reflections and the plants on the water look surreal.
Lovely photos. I always like to see water lillies. Not sure if I've ever seen those really huge ones though.
The water looks so clear--especially in that first photo. I really like the lily pads floating on the clear pond.
Here's my Snapshot
Life is all about perspective and looking at things from different points of view ... and accepting. I want to turn the monitor upside down and view your pictures from that different point of view ... and it is still just beautiful ... because life IS beautiful. Yes?
Beautiful refections. It took me a moment for my brain to realize I wasn't upside down!
Terrific details in those photos. And I love the quote at the top. So true. I'd better get climbing! Here's Mine
