On My Wall

“The fall of a leaf is a whisper to the living”
Russian Proverb

This is a leaf mask that I smuggled out of Italy to give to my wife for Christmas a few years back. It's now hanging on the wall of our computer room/office/guest bed room. I added some texture by sandwiching in a photo of a wall of a local winery.

This weeks theme for Corner View is "on my wall". Check out what's on some other walls in the blogs below. Thanks to Francesca for hosting, Elsa for choosing the theme and Jane for getting this whole thing started.

Making a Point

“The point of power is always in the present moment.”
Louise L. Hay 1926-


This is the pinnacle of a temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Never Look

“I've never looked through a keyhole without finding someone was looking back.”
Judy Garland 1922-1969

Scary. Today is Judy Garland’s 89th birthday.

Destination

“The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it.”
Charles de Lint 1951-

You probably learned that already, somewhere along the way.

The destination of this particular road is Death Valley which pretty much demands contemplation of the journey.

This weeks theme for Corner View is "destination". There are many more destinations in the blogs below. Thanks to Francesca for hosting, Kelleyn for choosing the theme and Jane for getting this whole thing started.

More Than An Apple

“If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.”
George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950

Water

If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.
Loren Eiseley 1907-1977

Maybe it's the ripple effect. Or the tiny little rainbows.

M is for Marilyn

“I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it.”
Marilyn Monroe 1926-1962

I found these two posters taped to a mom and pop grocery store window in San Francisco. Today, June 1, is Marilyn Monroe’s birthday. She would have been eighty-five years old.

This weeks theme for Corner View is "M is for…". For more about M, see the blogs below. Thanks to Francesca for hosting, Valerie for choosing the theme and Jane for getting this whole thing started.
