I remember our gourd plants on 4 sides of a structure that covers our long barbecue table that also served as a place to food food on the table buffet style for my grandparents' workers from the fields.

Anyway...


Yikes! any cold blooded critter scares me. Good shot though....did the bird survive?


So True... another nice connection to your quote.

That is where the fun begins...when you wake up in the morning not knowing what lies ahead. Even if I have my schedule of things to do, some things just keep distracting you. By the end of the day, you have accomplished many but not what you planned. hahahaha...my kind of day...:rolleyes:

And do we really want to know what is going to happen next to us? Let the days play out and deal with the situations as they arise! Less stress perhaps? But then I've always tried to be prepared too! For whatever may happen! <chuckle> I like the colors in this pic! Beautiful!

969, cool concept, capture, and quote.

Scape 971 - Beauty sometimes an outcome of simplicity, sometimes an outcome of complexity....

And sometimes beauty can't be seen at all - except by those who really look for it.

Self confidence is not that which one loses when his wearing shirt is found to have a hole; observation is not that which one takes more interest in the hole of one's shirt that in the person himself....
