He was probably doing calculus homework or checking Facebook but I thought of this:
"He drew forth a phrase from his treasure and spoke it softly to himself: A day of dappled seaborne clouds."
--James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Where do you come up with these perfect quotes???
From a glance, he looks like he could be Jon and Dave's younger brother.
He's framed perfectly by the nandina bushes. Is that mountain laurel in the background left with the purple blooms?
As per your last comment yesterday, I have an affinity for pink and purple too. It's funny because I'm on a mad hunt for the right pink purse. I've scoured every website and store and I can't seem to find the right one. It's my quest for spring. :)

Whatever he is working on, he is certainly concentrating on it. And, surrounded by such beauty!
This is another shot that nestles the electricity of human thought within the soft beauty of nature's creativity. Love it!
Lovely post.

You have an amazing amount of poetry within you, and it speaks to you like a dear friend.
I love, "seaborne clouds..." and thanks for today's post, very special. You inspire me to read again this wonderful book!

Thanks, everyone!
Hiker, I remember the line about being "unheeded, happy, and near to the wild heart of life." Something about being willful and wildhearted amid wild air and seaharvest shells and sunlight -- or something like that. (It still sings to me!)
Until tomorrow, everyone.
Oh yes, that's the one. It is beautiful, isn't it.
