A Curious Thought

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.

Yep...nothing is wrong with asking too much questions. It only shows that a person wants to learn more. That's a nice flower.

My goodness, the water drops on the rose look just like diamonds! Just beautiful, Judy!

I'm taking the quote with me for the day!

Albert Einstein certainly never stopped wondering and questing, did he? The rose is beautiful, and it made me wonder if you take all these gorgeous flower pictures, or do you find them on the web? Thanks for starting my day, as usual, with inspiration.

That is a beautiful macro! The lighting and water droplets are dazzling...And, I, too, believe you cannot ask too many questions or wonder too much...even if your questions and wonderment are silent. Beautiful Beautiful Rose!

Question: What time of day did you take that lovely photo of the rose? : )

Betsy from Tennessee said...

Yes, we all need to keep on asking the questions. Once we quit doing that, life gets stale and ultimately ends... Don't you think???
Hugs,
Betsy

OMG and I mean it, I was going through blogs and for some reason when this tab opened it was on the picture of the rose, breathtaking.
And the saying is so true, you don't grow old till you quit learning.
