“Your path, like all paths, has its seasons. Many bends can make it difficult to follow. Stop and rest when you are tired, or dance and sing when it pleases you. The tallest trees are totems belonging to the heavens. Saplings are teachers; they reveal how each of us can make use of small amounts of light. Some trees have fallen, as will you one day. They feed the many lives that have no wings. They become soft with time, offering an unseen world the best of food and shelter.” Â ~Â Bob Luckin

Reblogged this on Anita Dawes & Jaye Marie.
Thank you for the reblog! â¤
Lovely!
Thanks, Belinda!
This is lovely, Eliza. It’s wonderful to see all of the colors of the seasons in one spot, even the whites, browns, and grays of winter. I love the quote, too. đ
Many thanks, Robin. đ
These are wonderful photographs Eliza!
Thank you very much, Rebecca!
Lovely photographs, moving words.
Thank you, Laurie. đ
That is a beautiful quote – it really spoke to me today – thank you for sharing Eliza.
Thank you, glad you liked it. đ
Beautiful Eliza.
Thank you, Karen. đ
Lovely reminder of what lies behind and ahead!
Yes, indeed. â¤
Hmmmm, in fact I’m closest to the winter in age, I identify most with autumn. Lovely seasons, all of them.
Thank you. I believe each season has its high points, which is the best thing to focus upon!
Love the triptych. đ
Thanks!
That first thin photo–with the blues and yellows and different greens: so beautiful! Rich & mysterious.
Thank you, Albert. đ
As ever your photos are beautiful–and perfect for the quotation.
Thank you so much, Lisa!
Beautiful seasons, Eliza and I love the quote. Really nice post.
Thank you, Mary đ

Lovely pictures and inspiring quote
Thank you, Allison. đ
delightful images, Eliza. (I have just discovered this challenge and am now joining in – it was an easy theme to get me started this week!)
Thank you, Ann. I don’t join WPC every week, but every once in a while it appeals to me. This week is a good one. I look forward to seeing what your expression is. đ
Beautiful photos Eliza, what is the blue flowering tree?
Trick of the lightâĻit is a Colorado blue spruce. Thanks for your visit, Brian. đ
The older I get, the more I savor (and notice) all of the seasonal changes.
Well said. đ
As the photographs clearly show, every season has its charm. đ
Thank you, Bun. Very true!
It makes me think of change, transitions, even transformations…
đ Yes, the endless spiral of time.
Oh, love! I want to be one of those “tree burials” where they plant you beneath a tree â when I fall. As always, beautiful photos Eliza.
Thank you, Kathy. Not to be morbid, but I sometimes think how right it would be to draw one’s last breath under the tree canopy. What a way to let go, let god.
I always say I want to die in my garden. I read if you exclaim repeatedly how you want to go it’ll happen.
Slip out nice and quiet-likeâĻ đ
Agreat photoset – looks like a lovely place to live đ
That it is – thank you!
Really lovely quote. And your pic with the blue and the yellow leaves is wonderful.
Thank you, Peggy!
Simply splendid! Love the quote too! đ
Thank you, Julie!
Love the warm & cool of the photo with the blue spruce!
Thank you very much, Denise. đ The dawn light in that photo really struck me.
You LIve in heaven!
Hi Robbie! Yes, I think you’re right. đ
I meant to say it is heaven on earth:-)
Understood! BTW, loved your post and those gorgeous snapdragons. Your garden is so beautiful. đ
I read that the Monarch population has tripled – woohoo! It is still 25% of what it was and there is more work to do, but the efforts so far have yielded a positive result. Numbers may be back to normal by 2020 if this success continues -such good news! Gardeners rock!
The path can also go uphill and be a struggle, but “what goes up, must come down”…
Very true! đ
