Anemone in White




To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~e.e. cummings, 1955

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. ~Judy Garland

At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

Diana said...

Lovely photos, quotes and flower, Judy!

I must say however, although I love them, the anemones were banned from our garden, but still keep coming back.... deep root system had them spreading everywhere in one of the shady areas.

It is raining anemones here, and I love it. Makes me feel like singing!

Sandra said...

i need to memorize the Judy Garland quote, and say it out loud a few times a day. the flowers are beautiful. i especially like the last 3, the way the shadows look like lace, they are all smiling and dancing and saying HAPPY HAPPY

Mary-Anne said...

fantastic flower pics :D

SweetMarie said...

I really like the Judy Garland quote. I'm going to write it on a piece of paper and tape it to my "inspiration wall". Your pics of these flowers are beautiful! I really like how they're all entangled together. Just beautuful!

I love the lighting on these beautiful flowers. Perfection!

Arija said...

I just love the Japanese Anemones. A real autumn delight the way they dance in the wind, glow in the night and are transient a s the wind. Small wonder they are called windflowers in common parlance.
