    Of course the opposite is also very true, allied with “you can lead a horse to water …” :)

    I sure don’t have color around my place like that.

    Coffee is on.

    Pretty rose bud– such a “wise” too. Easier said than done many times. Have a nice week. Mickie :)

    That would be “wise quote”–I need to read my comment BEFORE I press submit. Mickie :)

    Lao Tzu sure had some good ones, Cherry. I love the quote next to this image today.

    This is a pretty intelligent quote. Lao Tzu was a good thinker.

    We usually make an intelligent response, which is not necessarily a truthful one.

    Yet be assured that every visit to your blog is a pleasure; whether it be in admiration of the images you captured, or in the attentive civility of your responses.

    I’m not intelligent enough to respond intelligently to anything

    This photo shows much sensitivity and delicacy. As our response should be to nonsense treatment. Again, you got it right, Cherie.:)

      The photo is a picture of the rose I bought on what would have been my Dad’s birthday last year. The drought had been having an effect on it so I gave it a little TLC. When I took the photo a couple of weeks ago it had repaid me by producing 2 buds and lots of leaves. As I type this there are 8 buds and the one in the picture is just about to burst into bloom.

      I thought the quote was just right to go with that picture. Especially to be posted yesterday.
