There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are." - Ernst Haas

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching,of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever...it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything." - Aaron Siskind

A Time To Plant

"To every thing there a season and a time to every purpose under heaven: "

"No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden."

-- Thomas Jefferson

"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous."

--Aristotle

"The Poetry of Earth is Never Dead:

When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, 

And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run

From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead;

That is the Grasshopper's-- he takes the lead

In summer luxury, --he has never done

With his delights; for when tired out with fun

He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed.

The poetry of earth is ceasing never:

On a lone winter evening, when the frost 

Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills 

The Cricket's song, in warmth increasing ever,

And seems to one in drowsiness half lost, 

The Grasshopper's among some grassy hills."

- John Keats

A World of Difference~ Children

"There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million."

~Walt Streightiff

"Little girls are cute and small only to adults. To one another they are not cute. They are life-sized." ~Margaret Atwood

"A child can ask questions that a wise man cannot answer."

~Author Unknown

The Mark of a Photographer

I thought I'd share a random photograph {though it is neither my week nor an assignment, but I thought you would all enjoy this}

Friday night we had a lovely little formal dinner. All the girls dressed up and we met for some photos. I spied Willow down on the ground getting a good shot of Abbie and laughed....

The mark of a true photographer is that she is more concerned for the getting the right shot then keeping her dress clean! 

City of Bridges

Pittsburgh, called the City of Bridges, reportedly has more bridges than any other city in the world.

Bridges become frames for looking at the world around us. - Bruce Jackson

America's highways, roads, bridges, are an indispensable part of our lives. They link one end of our nation to the other. We use them each and every day, for every conceivable purpose. - Christopher Dodd
