Here are a few recent pictures and quotes:

Finally, a truth-bomb quote...
C. S. Lewis: "You will never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking about what sort of impression you are making.  Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original, whereas if you simply try to tell the truth without caring two-pence how often it has been told before, you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it."  ❤❤❤
