Imitations of Immortality

2008.01.09
I pass by this field everyday but today was the first time I noticed it's beauty.

"Though nothing can be bring back the hour of splendor in the grass and glory in the flowers. We will grieve not whether we will find strength in what remains behind."

Imitations of Immortality by William Wordsworth


My father made me memorize this when I was 10 years old!

MHJphotos Wonderful shot! Isn't amazing how sometimes, out of the blue, we see beauty in something we've seen thousands of times? How on certain occasions, things jump out at us that we've never before noticed?!

This fascinates me!

DancingDolphin Beautiful! But I think what may have ACTUALLY happened is that you officially became one of us addicted photobloggers who now will look around constantly thinking "what can I shoot, what can I shoot"! :-) And HEY... your dads on now, great!

youlookmahvelous Very nice, I like the tone and a great quote. The biggest reason I take pictures is it opens my eyes to the beauty I seemed to have missed before I started taking pictures. Well done.

JuliaGotz beautiful tones, and great words. I think the camera teaches me to look with more care.

oldbabe I really like this one. It puts me in a reflective mood.
I'll bet you never thought learning those quotes your dad forced on you would come to good use!

bettyluvsduncan Nice picture and quote. This field reminds me of the one I grew up by. I used to sit out in the field and watch birds, dragonflies, and butterflies.
