as it moves its wings so?

“I often think that the night is more alive and more richly coloured than the day.”

Ese’s Quote & Shoot Challenge – empty

I don’t often take part in Ese’s challenges, mainly because I can’t think of a quotation.   This week I thought of the quotation but then struggled to come up with an appropriate picture.

 

Better a small fish than an empty dish – 17th Century English proverb.

Ese’s Quote & shoot Challenge – Open

This week’s challenge is Open.

“When one door closes, another door opens; but we so often look so long and regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.”

Alexander Graham Bell

 

Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge – Beginning

This is my contribution to Ese’s brand new Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge.

This is a quotation that I often use at school. The picture is of my footprints,  taken on 1st January just three week after my Mum died, a time when I was conscious  of the beginning of a new part of my life.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.   Lao Tzu
