tree tuesday — dreamy thoughts

in #treetuesday7 years ago



Twenty years from now
you will be more disappointed by the things
that you didn't do
than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore.
Dream.
Discover.
H. Jackson Brown Jr., P.S. I Love You

Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.
Langston Hughes

I love your bicycle photos Deb. I just wish I could get out on mine. Still trying to mend. Hope all is well with you. : )

Aw. Me too...I'm still limping.

I hope you are well soon Deb. :(

meeeee toooooo!!! I tried going for a walk today bc it felt good for the first time in weeks and I got a block away. John and Abbey continued to the park and I limped home and got some ice on it.

I see the orthopedic guy next week for a cortisone shot.

Oh dear, I hope the shot hits the mark. I guess we won't be running marathons right now. I am using an Osteopath so far I believe it is working. I had this problem for years it just hasn't cut me off from walking. You and I are alike I too was feeling less pain in the leg and more into the neck so I started walking a bit today. It is getting better slowly as this is the first night I was able to lay with my leg straight in a month. I am not using any heavy painkillers Doc said NO.

Oh geez....we are so old :) lol. I don't take painkillers either....they make me feel lousy and nauseous anyway.

We'll get there.....or there abouts soon.

I love both those quotes so much. Fabulous photos!!

Those country drives never disappoint!! Thanks Mel. :)

I love this picture with the bike leaning against the tree. Is that one of those ride share bikes? LOL. I always enjoy the quotes you include with your photos. Some of them I’ve heard before most of them I have not. I enjoyed them all.

No, not a share ride bike, unless that was the hope of the owner on the farm....hehe....thank you so much for you kind comments and support :)

Ooh, I really like that first photo. The bicycle looks like a newer model, with those fancy shmancy disk brakes :-) The tree has some interesting textures going on there. Very nice shot.

I didn't even notice the discs on the brakes!!! and I worked every up close and personal with the wheels. tsk. Great eyes....!

Thank you - I like this one as well. I'm kind of proud of it. You know how that is with your own photos. I'm sure you have some that you are very proud off as well.

Ha! My left eye is still puffed up and slimy, so I don't know how great they are. I was just looking close to see if it was an antique or newer bike :-) It's a very nice composition, that photo.

Do you have an infection from your contacts? I used to get debris behind mine and of course either scratch the cornea or grow bacteria. I don't wear them anymore though. I hope your eye clears up soon. I hate slimy eye. ick.

Yes, act today, for we cannot guarantee any tomorrows. If we are blessed to get them, we become to old to enjoy all the things we could have done 20 yrs ago.

Live for today - tomorrow hasn't been given to us yet.

Thanks @trndygran :)

Amazing poem by Brown, so true...I think about that a lot. We do have to live our lives to the fullest. Can't be afraid to just step off of the curb once in a while, that's the toughest step of the journey. Beautiful shots today, so apropo!

Glad you enjoyed it @birdsinparadise.

Thanks you for liking my photos too :)

I'm going to get a bike
And ride away -
Not tomorrow
And not today,
But soon...
Ride,
Ride away!
