You've Got Mail

[leelai]

Great photos, leelai! I guess that the baboon with it's mouth open must be the Prime Minister, right?

Lol.....I think you just may be right!

German is more simple (in this case only). But: "Pavianhorde" is boring, compared to a "parliament of baboons".

Lol....you're right too! pavianhorde just doesn't have the same ring to it!

Here's a lovely email I received from Diane. It's titled "Pillows"

Wonderful photos, thanks for posting them.

Glad you like them.

Here's another one I received from her. The flowers are beautiful, and I also love the quotes:






We never get what we want,
We never want what we get,
We never have what we like,
We never like what we have.
And still we live & love.
That's life...





The best kind of friends,
are the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
Never say a word,
And then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.






It's true that we don't know
What we've got until it's gone,
But it's also true that we don't know
What we've been missing until it arrives.





Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
Just wait for it to grow in their heart,
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.






It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
An hour to like someone,
And a day to love someone,
But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.







Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
Because it takes only a smile to
Make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile!






May you have
Enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human,
And enough hope to make you happy





Always put yourself in others shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
It probably hurts the other person, too.






The happiest of people
Don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for
Those who cry,
Those who hurt,
Those who have searched,
And those who have tried,
For only they can appreciate the importance of people
Who have touched their lives.





When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
You're the one who is smiling
And everyone around you is crying.

Just beautiful pics in both these emails Johanna.

Would love some of those pillows myself!

Thanks to Diane too!

Wonderful flowers, the verses are even better! Thanks for posting them.

Just beautiful pics in both these emails Johanna. Would love some of those pillows myself! Thanks to Diane too!

I hope she can read your comment soon. She has a cold since more than a week. But she can send emails. Yesterday, I received quite a few like these from her, and I also got some this morning. I'll post one or two of them after work.

The "pillow" pictures" are so cute, aren't they?

Exactly my thoughts when I received the email.
The flower pictures didn't open at first, and I only saw the quotes. They alone would have been good enough to post them in this thread.

Here's a mail with gorgeous (and a few funny) pictures that I received from her:

































(The one with the rainbow is amazing!)

Liberation of the condor Sayani:

The language is Spanish, but it's not necessary to understand a word.
For a very long time, one gets the impression that the condor isn't able to fly.
The music is from "Forrest Gump".

 

[leelai]

Some of those pics are just gorgeous and the rest are stunningly beautiful!

And what a magnificent condor...he certainly put on a wonderful show for everyone.....just amazing footage.
The music was just so perfect!

Thank you Johanna and Diane!
