Wild Flower

Today is definitely not my day but I still want to show some images of this year’s first wildflower that I took the other day. I’m physically healthy but I have no idea what’s up with the other. Quotes are a way of expressing myself where I choose what suits today’s mood.

  • ā€œIf you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.ā€
    ā€• Mark Twain
  • ā€œThere’s a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.ā€
    ā€• Oscar Levant
  • ā€œAny fool can know. The point is to understand.ā€
    ā€• Albert Einstein
  • ā€œSome people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.ā€
    ā€• Charles Bukowski

ā€œSome humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying ‘End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH’, the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.ā€
ā€• Terry Pratchett

The last choice may not be completely consistent but there is an underlying humor and tragic reality.
Now I wonder if anyone even noticed the flowers that was my intention to show, then it ended like this…

    Yes, we all have been erasing this line, slowly but surely. :p It’s not easy to keep ourselves in check all the time. Good thing we have our dogs. (Your blog is the only one with the same problem as mine: as I’m writing my comment, I keep returning into the gallery. The trick is to refresh the page before starting the comment, I tell my visitors. I suppose you do the same. šŸ™‚ It works!) And yes, it’s a pretty flower.

        You will understand if you try to comment on my blog after viewing photos in the gallery format. Something strange happens. It must be the blog theme that we are using…

          I know what you mean and sometimes it feels a bit frustrating. Especially if you write a long comment that just disappears. Thank you for making me aware of this, that people who comment have the same problem at my site.

    A pretty wildflower (is it the same one, because on every photo it looks a little different than the previous one?)
    As for your quotes – I like the one of Charles Bukowski the most. When we want to do something “out of the norm”, our friends will react with “but you’re crazy” … but after reading Charles’ quote, I will be quite happy to hear it šŸ˜‰.

    Min favorit Ƥr Mark Twain men jag gillar alla citat. SjƤlvklart har jag Ƥven sett blommorna. Helt fantastiskt fina makro bilder! Det var inte min bƤsta dag heller. Du Ƥr inte ensam. Ha en bƤttre dag imorgon!

      Tack sƄ mycket fƶr din kommentar Kristallina. Skƶnt att jag inte Ƥr ensam, eller kanske Ƥr det synd att vi alla inte alltid bara har bra dagar.
      …fast dĆ„ skulle vi nog inte fƶrstĆ„ att uppskatta hur bra vi trots allt har det. Ha en fin morgondag šŸ˜€

    Yes, your quotes were so good, it did detract a little from the images, but I did look at them. šŸ˜Š If it’s any consolation/applicable, my wife has felt a little low after leaving Switzerland (wondering whether we did the right thing). But I’m sure any angst that you may have will soon disappear when you get settled in your new home. šŸ˜Š

      Thanks a lot for your kind words and thoughtful comment Mike! I have never regereted that we left Malta, that was a good decision. But, sometimes it feels a bit frustrating that we have to rent this house here in Tsada. We had decided from the beginning to buy a house “Ready to move in”, but now it did not happen and there is a lot left to do before we can move in. But, I’m lucky to be a part of all this. A few years ago we almost moved to Borneo, but then realized you cannot have a dog over there and so on…

    I love daisy flowers and the pink/white mix in these photos is really pretty.. it’s like the daisy flowers harvest the light and then shine it back at us to cheer us up!

    Beautiful flower shots. The last choice reminds me when the internet was just getting started good and everyone was building websites (including me) that had a button of some kind on it saying not to push it, and of course everyone would, so you make a link that went out to something funny. LOL.

    En skir men ƤndƄ sƄ robust blomma pƄ dina vackra nƤrbilder. Kanske avspeglade det din sinnesstƤmning nƤr du gjorde inlƤgget? Citatet om sanningen gillar jag. Jag tƤnker pƄ hur ni har ordnat och donat de senaste Ƅren, pƄ Borneo och sen pƄ Malta. Klart att det kan bli fƶr mycket nƤr ni nu inte kunde flytta rakt in i ett fƤrdigt hus. Men snart Ƥr ni dƤr i ert underbara hus!

      Tack sƄ mycket fƶr dina tankar. NƤr det gƤller huset vi kƶpt hƤr pƄ Cypern gjorde vi precis tvƤrtemot vad vi bƄda bestƤmt frƄn bƶrjan!!! Huset skulle vara fƤrdigt att flytta in i med mƶjligen enstaka detaljer som mƄlning av vƤgg eller annat smƄtt att fixa. Det skulle finnas centralvƤrme, dubbelglasade fƶnster, inga vƤggar skulle rivas/flyttas och heller inga andra stora byggnadsfƶrƤndringar. Huset skulle vara pƄ ett plan med tanke pƄ att vi inte lƤngre Ƥr unga och trappor kan bli ett hinder i framtiden.
      Hahaa… fƶr att komma in i huset som Ƥr pĆ„ tvĆ„ vĆ„ningar har vi en lĆ„ng trappa, 31 steg, jag har rƤknat och funderat pĆ„ hur det ska gĆ„ nƤr man storhandlat. Alla fƶnster mĆ„ste bytas till dubbelglasade, alla golv i huset ska tƤckas med nytt kakel / laminat, vardagsrummet ska byggas ut och ett fƶrrĆ„d ska fƶrvandlas till tvƤttstuga. Ingen uppvƤrmning finns sĆ„ solpaneler ska lƤggas pĆ„ taket… nƤ, nu mĆ„ste jag sluta fƶr det finns hur mycket som helst kvar, hela kƶket ska dessutom bytas ut….. pust! Det blev inte alls som vi bestƤmt men bra blir det fƶrhoppningsvis nƤr det Ƥr fƤrdigt :))

        Det blir inte alltid som man tƤnkt sig, men snart Ƥr ni vid mƄlet, ett jƤttefint hus. Vad gƤller den lƄnga trappan sƄ fƄr ni ordna en mathiss pƄ nƄgot vis, haha.

          JodĆ„, vi har haft mĆ„nga tankar och ideĆ©r nƤr det gƤller att “hissa ner”. Det Ƥr fƶrst nƤr man har den dƤr lĆ„nga trappan som man inser vad lƤtt det en gĆ„ng var UTAN den lĆ„nga trappan šŸ¤£

    Hi Anita,
    We are not exactly friends of quotations, we prefer to think and formulate ourselves. But we like your photography.

      Hi and thanks for your comment. To think and formulate yourself is of course better that to use what other have said. But, there are times when I can’t find the words and I use quotes to convey what I really want to say. We are all different, fortunately or not šŸ˜
