"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."
Quote by George Bernard Shaw
*In Spring, it is all about perspectives; Spring is the chance to daydreaming with open eyes; Spring is like 'the reverie of soul' who wants to nourish with the beauty of the fresh green buds sprung on the branches, the beauty of the new leaves and the fresh delicate blooms in late March or early April and, not at last, the beauty of those bright various colors of blossoms appearing, all over, in May. Anyway, in Spring, it is all about love for life.
With every Springtime, we come to realise that all that it matters, it is the fact to be willing and to be capable to have a deep breathing in the rythm of nature knowing that every second is not like any other. A calmy 'respiro', a calmy breathing... And to be always aware and to be able to understand that what we can see and we are observing today, it will be different tomorrow.Perspectives.
Time is precious. Because 'life is short'; this it is what it's mentioned so often, in so many texts and articles on the theme of inspirational and positive quotes. The reality, indeed, is that the health can diminish with every single second passed by.Also, what it is really important (and it can never disappear from our own mind), what it is truly important in order to be healthy, it is essentially that we must to remember and try to be happy and viceversa. Till now, (from philosophical/cognitive theories) I have'nt found a complete definition of being happy.
But, all I know is that in order of being healthy... for sure it means to try to be happy, in your own way.
Also, all I know, it is that Spring is a lovely season and it is about positivity, about optimism, about serenity of soul when facing hardships, adversity and troubles. Like many, despite sorrows, regrets and different daily troubles, somehow, I still can enjoy life the way it is.
A part of what I enjoy as a recreational hobby, it is of taking shots in the nature. As an amateur photographer, taking a picture, I imagine like anybody else, that 'I can stop the time', in a fragile frame, this way. In a corner of my mind, with a thought, I can also try to retain a 'fugitive' moment. That's the memory, itself. And with a click of a photo camera it is possible of capturing different instants. In a flash, that's the essence of photography.What's really interesting, it is that I can share the memory of the instant captured. And that's the photography: it is all about moment. Sharing the instant captured.*

Inspirational Quotes.
"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. "
"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."
"Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart."
"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."
Quotes by Confucius
"Confucius (/kənˈfjuːʃəs/; September 28, 551 BC – 479 BC) was a Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history.
The philosophy of Confucius emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. His followers competed successfully with many other schools during the Hundred Schools of Thought era only to be suppressed in favor of the Legalists during the Qin Dynasty. Following the victory of Han over Chu after the collapse of Qin, Confucius's thoughts received official sanction and were further developed into a system known in the West as Confucianism."

În primăvară, este vorba despre perspective; Primăvara este șansa de a visa cu ochii deschiși; Primăvara este ca o "reverie a sufletului" care vrea să se hrănească cu frumusețea mugurilor de un verde proaspăt și care au apărut pe ramurile copacilor, frumusețea frunzelor noi și a inflorescențele delicate de la sfârșitul lunii martie sau începutul lunii aprilie și, nu în ultimul rând, frumusețea acele culori strălucitoare de flori care apar, peste tot, în luna mai. Oricum, în primăvară, este vorba de dragostea pentru viață. Cu fiecare primăvară, ajungem să înțelegem că tot ceea ce contează este faptul de a fi dispuși și de a fi capabili să respirăm în ritmul naturii știind că fiecare secundă nu este ca oricare alta. O respirație calmă, o respirație liniștită... Și pentru a fi mereu conștienți și a putea înțelege că ceea ce vedem și observăm astăzi, va fi diferit mâine.
Perspective.
Timpul este prețios. Deoarece "viața este scurtă"; Aceasta este ceea ce este menționat atât de des, în atât de multe texte și articole pe tema citatelor inspiraționale și pozitive. Realitatea, într-adevăr, este că sănătatea se poate diminua cu fiecare secundă trecută.
De asemenea, ceea ce este cu adevărat important (și nu poate disparea niciodată din propria noastră minte), ceea ce este cu adevărat important pentru a fi sănătoși, este esențial că trebuie să ne amintim și să încercăm să fim fericiți și viceversa. Până acum (din teoriile filosofice / cognitive) nu am găsit o definiție completă a fericirii.
O parte din ceea ce îmi place, ca un hobby recreațional, este de a face fotografii în natură. În calitate de fotograf amator, cu fiecare fotografie, îmi imaginez ca oricine altcineva că, "pot opri timpul", într-un cadru fragil, în acest fel. Într-un colț al minții mele, cu un gând, pot încerca, de asemenea, să păstrez un moment "fugar". Asta e memoria, în sine. Și cu un clic pe o cameră foto este posibil să capturăm diferite momente. Într-o clipă, asta e esența fotografiei.
Ce este cu adevărat interesant, este că pot împărtăși memoria momentului capturat. Și asta este fotografia: este vorba despre moment. Împărtășirea momentului capturat. *

Motto:
"Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays."**

RăspundețiȘtergereThank you so much, Tom! A lovely day and a very wonderful week at Foto Tunes, as well!
ȘtergereCe-mi place cum iti place sa te joci cu imaginile si nuantele. Desi sunt zone pe care le stiu, le faci sa arate altfel, parca deschizi usa unor povesti inca nerostite, dar care stau sa tasneasca ca un izvor...
RăspundețiȘtergereNu e nevoie sa cautam definitii ale fericirii! Fatetele ei sunt peste tot in jurul nostru si in noi; e suficient sa (ne) zambim si sa privim ceea ce ne inconjoara!
Multumesc draga Alexa, pentru toata armonia de aici! Cu drag iti urez sa-ti fie bine si senin!
Multumesc frumos! Intr-adevar, bine mentionat; ma 'joc' cu imaginile si nuantele, (re)creez din instanturi, privelisti care sa incante sufletul; incerc sa aflu cum un anume strat de culoare ori filtru adaugat, transforma, schimba sau corecteaza (posibil!!) o anume viziune. Natura insasi, inspira; prin metamorfozare, clipa de clipa, de la un interval de timp la altul; Nici o clipa nu ramane aceeasi! Si bine ai spus... povestile "stau sa tasneasca"... iar, fericirea fiind ceva mai mult decat o definitie dintr-un tom, poate de aceea ne este greu sa precizam in ce ar consta ea. O idealizam, portretizand-o, cum ca ar fi asa, si asa, si pe dincolo,,,....;;; ....
ȘtergereSper sa fi putut oferi armonie; cam dificil zilele acestea, dar incercam sa o atingem... Multumesc de randurile-ganduri oferite, de pozitivitate si inspiratiunea din postarile tale atat de creative si inspirate. Toate cele senine si frumoase, asemenea! Salutari cordiale cu drag!
Mi-a placut foarte mult aceasta plimbare, alaturi de tine, din martie in mai. :) Multumesc pentru aceste momente pe care le-ai capturat si le-ai impartasit. Cred ca prin (in) fotografii este singurul mod in care, cumva, "capturam" timpul. :)
RăspundețiȘtergereMinunate fotografii, frumoase gandurile.
Iti doresc, cu drag, multa sanatate! Zile fericite! Si succes in tot ceea ce intreprinzi. <3
Multumesc frumos, Diana! Cu fiecare plimbare descopar ca reusesc sa prind aspecte ale naturii, in ipostaze semnificative. Frumosul pare sa iasa la innaintare, chiar atunci cand cred ca nu mai am ce observa. Doar, m-am mai plimbat si in alte dati... Un castan, un platan, o salcie, o frunza, o alee, un cadru... la o prima vedere, in definitiv, par sa fie oricand, la fel. Si locurile par sa fie neschimbate. Si totusi... totusi, intotdeauna mai este ceva ce pare a scapa lentilei, obiectivului. Si cu fiecare cadru, apoi, reusesc sa observ ca am mai 'cules' ceva, ca din 'intamplare'. Cred ca asta se cheama, 'a captura' timpul, momentul. Cand uimirea observarii detaliului, se concretizeaza in foto instantul surpins. :) ;)
ȘtergereMultumiri inca o data de gandurile impartasite, asemenea!! toate cele bune, inspirate pentru suflet si cu sanatate, mai ales! si un pic de succes ar fi binevenit (*-*) Salutari cordiale cu drag!
The light is wonderful where you are at this time of year! And I love all the flowers and greenery.

ȘtergereA beautiful photo essay, and wonderful collection of quotes that fit the content perfectly!
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you so very much!! Thank you!
ȘtergereI love the photos that loaded for me (my broadband isn't great and there were too many images for them all to load!). They are simple but still gorgeous scenes.
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you very much! A happy Sunday!
ȘtergereYes you are right about perspective Alexa and really how we decide to live and view what happens is about our perspective and your view on life is happy and joyful and I know I will find it in your posts....Michelle
RăspundețiȘtergereWonderful said, Michelle: " what happens is about our perspective". Nobody said it is easy to do it; but it's an option; i choose to see what's around, in a joyful way as possible. Thank you so much! Thank you! A happy Sunday!
ȘtergereYour photos and mosaics show an abundance of beauty dear Alexa. And so wise thoughts as well. For me personally it is difficult to rest when I get tired :) Have a great weekend!
RăspundețiȘtergereYou're so right, dear Riitta; it's not easy to rest when we're tired (mentally or phisically), indeed. That's why I think I must be inspired by the quote. Patience is necessary to become more relaxed, avoiding to quit things who can bring tiredness, but changing the view, the perspective, adding a bit of peace and comfort and perhaps doing something nice for our souls.
ȘtergereMany thanks for your lovely thoughts and inspiration, too! A great Sunday and new week ahead!
Boa tarde, a primavera é a ilusão da alma, ele trás-nos sonhos belos que são possíveis concretizar, fotografar é fazer congelar o tempo, foi o que fez ao partilhar as maravilhosas fotos relativa à linda primavera dos sonhos.
RăspundețiȘtergereFeliz fim de semana,
AG
So lovely said: "a primavera é a ilusão da alma", ... and "linda primavera dos sonhos"...
ȘtergereMany thanks for these wonderful thoughts expressed in such warm metaphor as a way of saying.
A very nice new week ahead!
"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it"... Yes, I suppose almost everything has beauty. Most certainly, nature has lots of beauty. Unfortunately not all see it. You do and we are very lucky because you share your insights with us.
RăspundețiȘtergereThis post is especially inspired and inspiring. The photos are wonderful. I, of course, enjoy especially the photos of magnificent old trees and all the lovely flowers. The blooming Robinias look gorgeous.
Thank you for your beautiful and soothing writing too.
Have a happy weekend. :) Hugs!
Many, many thanks for your lovely words, thoughts, Sara! I enjoyed walking and admiring the nature in Spring. The robinias white flowers, and also purple wisteria were fantastically in may and I was glad to see them in their splendor. I hope that my pictures showed a part of the beauty seen so rapidly along of these months of Spring. The trees are really old, but so inspiring through their majestity.
ȘtergereThank you so much, again! a very happy Sunday and a sunny new week in June! Salutari cordiale!
Bare trees always look so good in black and white, and I love the patterns leading to the little sitting ares. The person with the bicycle by the lake is very attractive, too.

RăspundețiȘtergereThank you so much!
ȘtergereNice collages. Good shots and good editing.
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you so very much!
ȘtergereAlexa, I so enjoyed your own perspectives today, both of words and pictures and they beautifully complement one another. Yes, life is short, and we must be grateful for every minute. Like you, taking photos of my surroundings has helped me to feel closer to nature, having been born and grown up in a large, North American city, and making my permanent home in a tiny village in Greece!
RăspundețiȘtergereYour photos of the park, with the pond and all the budding greenery are so pretty; it seem like the perfect place to sit and ponder life, for a while.
Thanks for sharing and Happy June!
Poppy
Wonderful thoughts, Poppy! Thank you so very much! Inspired by your words! And I agree that this park is "a perfect place to sit and ponder life, for a while". Also, I like so much to see your beautiful notes, pictures, landscapes and amazing aspects from your home, in the sunny Greece.
ȘtergereBest regards to you and a very pleasant new week in June!
My oh my - what amazing photos. Your eye is amazing as to seeing the beauty in a scene. I have gone through your post now four times - drinking in all the beauty and the wonder of seeing things as you see them. The composition of your photos amazes me - truly it is genius. I will further study your photos with the idea of learning to see in yet another way. Spring is my hope - my time of renewal - what a fine celebration of life you have presented. Thank you.
RăspundețiȘtergereMany thanks, JoAnn! It is so lovely to read such warm thoughts about my photos and I'm so glad if you enjoyed them so much! I just tried to show some perspectives, different ways of seeing things through added layers like sepia or b&w filters.
ȘtergereThank you for the positivity of your words, once again! A lovely week in June!
Amazing post full of special moments in time which you have captured for eternity. Live in the moment - I try do that, especially when learning about terrible events such as those in London on Saturday night.
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you for sharing your very beautiful part of the globe with the Mosaic Monday crowd today.
So sad events happened in these days, indeed! Many thanks for the warm and lovely thoughts!
ȘtergereThe coming of spring looks very beautiful in your corner of the world. Such a lovely, lovely park with the lake and the walk alongside, with trees arching overhead. Wonderful photos and words. Thank you.
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you so very much for the lovely thoughts, too! Spring is always very beautiful, indeed!!
ȘtergereYour photos are gorgeous! A real celebration of beauty! I love your display of collages, too! Thank you so much for sharing this beauty! Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada. :)

ȘtergereTo me, Photography is all about sharing the moments. Thank you for sharing yours....they are precious.
RăspundețiȘtergereSo true and so well said, Sallie! Precious moments. How lovely you said! Thank you so very much! Thank you!
ȘtergereHi! Very interesting post. I I like your writing very much. "The flowing river never stops

So it is with man
and all his dwelling places
here on earth.
So much inspired by these amazing and so touching words/thoughts expressed by you. I'll keep in mind the quotes and perhaps, with your permission, i'll add them in one of my next posts about nature, too.
ȘtergereSo inspired!! Thank you so very much!
Maravilhosa sua postagem. As imagens são lindas, enquadramento perfeito.

RăspundețiȘtergereMany, many thanks, Eileen; I always appreciate your warm comments. Thank you so much!
ȘtergereHappy day and week, too!
Oi Alexa!
RăspundețiȘtergereQue linda essa Platanus. Suas fotografias são preciosas, muito belas... A natureza é divina.
Eu gosto muito da estação do outono e primavera. Cada estação tem sua beleza e traz muitas reflexões. Bom seria se a primavera acontecesse o tempo todo, em todos os corações humanos, florescendo, enfim, na forma de atos, palavras e pensamentos, sempre positivos. Se cada ser vivente fosse como uma flor, bela, pura e cheirosa, toda a Terra viveria uma eterna primavera.
Gostei muito do poema. Gostei muito da sua presença no blog.
