Sentimental Symmetry
Welcome to our new Picture Blog!
This is a blog where you can share things that you think are beautiful, like a violet, book, dress, sky, house. Or just something that makes you happy, like a mug of hot cocoa, a fuzzy blanket, a book (again!), or your favorite puppy dog.
To quote John Keats, "A thing of Beauty is a joy forever."
Post away my friends. I'm really excited to see which things you think are beautiful, and which objects make you happy! Be sure that if you don't post much, I surely will. Please remember to keep your pictures family friendly, and 800x600 pixels or less. p
This is a view about half an hour away from our house. The colors around here right now are just unbelievable!

This is the Lower Falls in Gooseberry Falls State Park in northeast Minnesota. It was actually taken last fall, but I hope to be going up there again in the next month or so.
But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.

Gazer, that looks like a lovely place! Hope you have a fun time there!
Glenstorm, that is a neat picture! Such nice colors!
I do love that studio, Betsie! I'd come and visit you often. Or maybe we could room together?
This is one of my very favorite paintings. I still remember the first time I saw it as a poster, in a shop. It's called "God Speed," by Edmund Blair Leighton.

Re: Sentimental Symmetry
Very nice indeed, Queen Susan.
This is my favorite time of year, and I love traveling to see the colors. Now if it would just quit raining and snowing, I could get out. So in the meantime I must content myself with older pictures...here's a campfire I enjoyed last October, with Lake Pepin and the Mississippi River Bluff Country in the background.

I saw a print of this old photograph in a restaurant. My sister and I loved it at first sight. I looked it up in the Library of Congress ASAP and saved it.
This is a newsboy in Anchorage, AK, 1942.

gazer: Ah, campfires are fun.
Adeona: Ooh, I like it as well!
And from earlier, beautiful pictures everyone! I agree with Betsie about the nice room.
I absolutely love old barns--they're so neat... and--I think they're... sorry, can't find the right word.

Re: Sentimental Symmetry
Oh yes, Queen Susan! I love The Ashokan Farewell! My friend has a violin/piano arrangement (a bit different from your link, though), and we love to play it! The best is the original version, though.
The barn is lovely! Barns are nice. My mom really likes them, and wanted to make a house out of one for awhile. Perhaps fascinating was the word you were looking for? Or romantic?
Lovely, gazer! I love fires by the water.
Adeona, that picture is so cute!! I love it.
I absolutely adore this library. It's in Kansas City.

Re: Sentimental Symmetry
Some of my favorite pictures from our UK trip this past April (and I miss it and everyone so!):
Our mini "mod moot" in Scotland--AJ Aiken, Jints, Lizziekins, ramagut and ceppault
"
My favorite picture of me in the UK (at Edinburgh Castle with Edinburgh below)
Durham Cathedral, Durham
Beautiful greenery in Bourton-on-the-Water (if I remember correctly)

*Stumbles across thread*
Oh wow, Dennie, that's where you live? It's gorgeous!!
Lovely picture, gazer! Waterfalls always make me happy, they're just so lively.
That's an absolutely lovely shot, Glenstom. It looks professional!
Oh yes, I'd love to live there, Betsie! Nice and open and happy...and lots of books.
I've also stumbled across that painting, Dennie. It's definitely one of those paintings that catches your eye and that you love at first site. I didn't know that's what it was called, though.
Beautiful, beautiful piece, QS. It's very peaceful.
Ah, yes. Nothing I like so much as a campfire, gazer. They go so good with marshmallows.
Aww, that's a cute picture, Adeona. I really like it!
Nice barn, QS! Old barns are neat. I think they're kinda cozy.
That's really a library, Dennie? Wow, that makes mine look really pitiful. That's really neat, I would really love to go there someday!
Beautiful pictures of the UK, ramagut! I love the one of Durham Cathedral.
I have to post something by Thomas Kinkade. All of his work is absolutely beautiful, but I'll just post this one. It's rather big...I can't figure out how to make it smaller.

Re: Sentimental Symmetry
~Destined: I loooove the library! That's so neat.
I actually kind of prefer different versions then the original of "Ashoken Farewell"... I don't know--I like it slower and more... sorrowful.
And yes, fascinating is a good word for barns! That was about what I was looking for.
~ramagut: Oh, fun!! Mod moots--or any N-webber-get-together-events always look like fun!
~pogginfan: That's a beautiful picture!!
I love pictures of laughing babies--it makes me happy.

ramagut, what lovely pictures! I know I've seen a few of them before, but not all. I'd imagine that trip made you very happy indeed.
The cathedral is magnificent! I like the house you can see in the picture, too.
Yup, poggy, that view's about 35 minutes away from where we live. This is why I try to tell people my state is beautiful.
What a lovely painting! My bible has some of his full-color illustrations in it. Lovely.
Aww, Queen Susan, that picture is adorable! I do love how babies laugh.
This book makes me rather happy. This is the copy I own.

Because I love old things that are well cared for.

Some days you just make soup.

Les Miserables makes me happy (in a bittersweet way ).
Queen Susan, laughing babies make me happy too!
