Xmas air

Christmas is in the air....

Hand

The touch of your hand in passing, so light, so swift, that no one else suspects its loving reassurance – that touch sustains me through the hardest day.

Marion C. Garretty

Music

Music is medicine for the soul.

Light dark

Not always the darkness hides things, sometimes it's too much light that blinds more.

Together

In the confusion we stay with each other, happy to be together, speaking without uttering a single word.
Walt Whitman

Vivid - Moody Monday.

Good and reason

There was no good or reason in nature. But there is good and reason in us, in human beings, with whom fortune plays, and we can be stronger than nature and fate, if only for a few hours. And we can draw close to one another in times of need, understand and love one another, and live to comfort each other.

Hermann Hesse

Climbing hills

After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.

Nelson Mandela

Dietro l'obiettivo cambia faccia, dal template al layout dei post. Inoltre ho aggiunto un aforisma alle foto che prima ne erano sprovviste, tutto rigorosamente tradotto in inglese. Ho aggiunto la pagina "La raccolta degli aforismi", dove ho riportato tutte le massime e con un solo click su quella che vi interessa sarete ricondotti alla foto correlata.

Siccome fuori piove e fa freddo e quindi vi annoiate, date un'occhiata a tutto il blog!

Behind the lens change look, from template to the post's layout. I also added an aphorism to the photos that before were unprovided, all rigorously translated into English. I added the page "La raccolta degli aforismi", where I wrote out all the quotes and with an only click on the ones you are interested you can see the interrelated photo.

As it's raining and it's cold, you are bored, so look the whole blog!

Delicare beauty

Women love flowers very much because, even if they are more beautiful, they wither long before and so give them the sensation that their beauty is eternal.

"SKY" - Thursday Challenge.

Beautiful

Beauty is a form of genius -- is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or spring-time, or the reflection in dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has its divine right of sovereignty.

Oscar Wilde

World cat day

Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose.

Garrison Keillor

Loneliness

Solitude is sometimes the best companion. It never asks inappropriate questions and often gives answers.

February's snow

The snow in February fattens the granary

Snowy February, joyful summer

In February, the snow is better than the mud

The snow in February is like lard Carnival

True happiness is peace with oneself. And to have it, we must not betray our own nature.
