Hidden

Once A Summer Rain

Into each life some rain must fall. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow




Like a welcome summer rain, humor may
suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air
and you...Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain
beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby. ~Langston Hughes

Beyond the Art

If you're not interested in life, then
photography has no meaning. ~Ruth Bernhard


If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this. ~James McNeill Whistler

Still Hanging On

Patience and perseverance have a magical
effect before which difficulties disappear 
and obstacles vanish. ~John Quincy Adams


Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite 
of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: 
It is this, that in all things distinguishes the
strong soul from the weak. ~Thomas Carlyle

'Tis September

By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer's best of weather
And autumn's best of cheer.
~Helen Hunt Jackson


Departing summer hath assumed
An aspect tenderly illumed,
The gentlest look of spring;
That calls from yonder leafy shade
Unfaded, yet prepared to fade,
A timely caroling.
~William Wordsworth
