peach picking and the weekend~


"One day I would have all the books in the world, shelves and shelves of them. 
I would live my life in a tower of books. I would read all day long and eat peaches. 
And if any young knights in armor dared to come calling on their white chargers and plead with me to let down my hair, I would pelt them with peach pits until they went home."

Marilyn said...

It is a beautiful photo, but the words remind me of a dream I have had for a very long time. I would take a huge pile of books and an assortment of peaches, cherries, grapes, and berries, then off to a special light house just off the shore and near the Golden Gate bridge. There I would stay for a week or two and definitely I would throw peach pits if anyone came by. I love this quote and dreaming. Happy weekend.

Our work always reveals a bit of ourselves and your photography reveals a delightful, creative soul. I so love your captures!!! As for the tower of books and throwing peach pits, I live surrounded by books (my family doesn't mind this addiction) and am way past the young knight stage :) Fun quote!
