Not what we have, but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.

  1. Your pictures are beautiful and your quotes are great. Very thought provoking! Are the pictures your own photography?

    I just stumbled on your blog and I really like it....

  2. Hiya GG
    Interesting lighting.
    Don't quite agree with the quote. Maybe it sounds better in the original language :-)

  3. A garden full of tomatoes is an abundance - except when they stay green and you don't like chutney - that is a superfluity. A garden full of turnips, swedes and parsnips and nothing else is an encumbrance.

    I'm not sure about pomegranites.
