...a drop in the ocean....


we ourselves feel that
what we are doing
is just a drop in the ocean.
but the ocean
would be less
because of that missing drop.
~Mother Teresa

  7. Shadow shapes offer whimsical details to any object. I can't say why, but the weathered doors with the shadowy artistry looks stunning, a great backdrop...

  11. Yes, there is a purpose for us all, we just need to find the right path and understand the meaning of the words written on the wall...right now mine keep shouting IS IT SPRING YET...as it's spitting freezing rain. Had to scrape my windows before I could drive home, however the roads were OK...whew!

    You know, back in 93' when we had those horrible floods in Iowa, my yard had 18 inches of water in it all summer, so now I'm paranoid when I can't see the grass, even in snowfall...wonder what that means...more Earthbound than water girl I guess!

    Don't know about you guys, but our rivers are bank full already...scary!

    See ya tomorrow for the java time, though I may have to have a cup right now...mmmmm!!!

    Hey Tilda...stayin' outta trouble(whatever)!!!

  12. Love the quote you chose today! And your little birdy looks very happy swinging from the door handle. He casts a large shadow...almost dinosaur shaped! Enjoy the rest of your weekend Robin :)

  13. Another great quote! So true, too. I suppose our egos need to know that our efforts made a difference. Egos do tend to get in the way of things, don't they?

  15. I love the grainy detail to the wood framework of the door. The subtle colors are also pleasing to the eye.

  19. I think I am always saying that your photos are magical! And this one is no exception! A beautful sense of serenity gently suggesting that there is always a door somewhere waiting to be opened!

    Love the quote from Mother Teresa.

    Enjoy your Sunday, robin. That mug of hot coffee sure looks good. ;-)
