Nice collection in that collage. I also admire your artwork in the banner. That kind of art and some of the Japanese things I got to see in Japan are my favorites.
What software did you use to build that nice collage? I am thinking of finding some way to put in my own pictures at the top of my blog. This is a lovely arrangement.
Wonderful collage!!! Doesn't it just seem like yesterday that we were celebrating spring arriving??? We are in color here in the north..just beautiful..but then hard winter is just around the corner!
Today I feel lazy and so have no wish to do the 3 pm walk with the dogs, (I did walk 1 1/2 hours this morning) and so how nice to come and go, as it were, for a lovely walk with you through your pictures. This is the reason why you are my FAVOURITE photo blog ever . . and I visit quite a few. Your photos are always so exquisite . . so unique. . I love every single one. Fantastic!!!!
Gloria; I would imagine you live in a spectacularly beautiful area of Spain, even when you don't feel like walking, it's a pleasure. I am humbled by your comments, and I truly appreciate your kind words.
Denise: Forgot to tell you I like your new profile picture, your hair looks longer ? Thank you for the nice words....

but the realization of how much we already have.
Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.

Now winter nights enlarge
This number of their hours;
And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
Let now the chimneys blaze
And cups o'erflow with wine,
Let well-tuned words amaze
With harmony divine...

Question not, but live and Labour Till yon goal be won, Helping every feeble neighbour, Seeking help from none; Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone, Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own.
