Cottage Garden...

With a few flowers in my garden, half a dozen pictures and some books, I live without envy.
Lope de Vega

Landscape...

When you go out there, you don't get away from it all; you get back to it all. You come home to what's important, you come home to yourself.
Peter Dombrovskis

Play of the Light...

Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides.
Junichiro Tanizaki
