I don’t usually write with quotes in my blog, but this week is different. Ann-Christine has invited us to focus on quotes, letting them lead us to some of our favourite images.
“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.” — John Muir
One autumn day in the Dandenong Ranges, 2021.
Jack and I would usually search for the best spots to find autumn leaves. This particular day wasn’t one of the most vibrant, but the way the light filtered through these trees made all the difference. Sometimes, it’s not the season at its peak—but the moment—that makes it memorable.
“Where flowers bloom, so does hope.” — Lady Bird Johnson
On one of my walks to the wetlands during the 2020 pandemic, I found a quiet kind of peace in nature. Along the way, these delicate Pansies caught my eye … small, vibrant reminders that life continues to bloom even in uncertain times.
“When you are at peace, you attract peaceful reflections.” — Wayne Dyer
With my sister, niece, and nephew, we rafted across Laguna, coconut drinks in hand… gliding through calm waters and peaceful reflections.
“We didn’t realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun.” — A. A. Milne
Simple days like this at Lysterfield Lake, with my favourite people, are the ones that matter most.
“The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” — Audrey Hepburn
A recent trip to Dauin, Philippines brought us to Pulangbato Falls—where time with family became the most precious part of the journey.
Love the Dandenongs and John Muir, love the Audrey Hepburn . . .
Thanks Eha for the follow and for commenting.
An inspired matching of quotes and images.
Thanks Margaret.
Wonderful quotes and beautiful illustrations, Teresa xx
Thanks so much Jo.
Great choice of quotes to accompany your shots Teresa 🙂 The John Muir one is a favourite of mine but it’s your last two that really capture the spirit of your blog. I especially like the one from A. A. Milne and may pinch that to use in the future myself!
Yes I agree, the Milne one touches us in more ways than one. Thanks Sarah.
Wonderful images (and memories!) perfectly matched with your quotes. Especially loved the Milne quote and its corresponding image. May have to nip that one for later!
Oh yes that Milne quote is a favourite if mine too! Thanks Tina.
Wonderful combination of quotes and your images Teresa.
Thanks so much Rupali.
A wonderful post, Teresa, and I could relate to every quote – so well illustrated! Love Milne and Muir’s quote is one of my absolute favourites.
Your topics are always an inspiration. Thanks for that.
You saved the best for last! Beautiful family photo. : )
Thanks so much Rebecca. It is not often that we are all together in one time zone. So it was a nice time.
Beautiful photos for your quotes. The last one is wonderful, memories in the making.
