wk 3 flickr photo

Staying cool on a hot day in the early part of last century must have been difficult. At a time when the victorian era required a woman to be swathed in layers and lengths, one can understand the smiles on these faces.
I love this photo. Usually family photos were sombre and formal but this captures the delight of play...obviously spur of the moment.
However, getting this far with wk 3 has been a nightmare. I have imported this directly from my own home file, not from flickr file cos I couldn't understand how to go about it. Instructions were vague and ended up having to ring elsewhere for help!! I still don't know how to go about importing a flickr file. Iwas so looking forward to using the program but this has put me off somewhat!!

To be is to learn

Lifelong learning... a lifelong of learning...a long life of learning! It's a natural process whether we recognise it or not. I don't think you can exist and not learn. To live with the joy of knowing that every new day is an opportunity to embrace wisdom and experience, your own or others, is a gift. The knowledge of the aged, the skill of experience and the enthusiasm and energy of youth, when married together, become the driving force of community life. That's why communities need all ages and all kinds. My learning is limited if I am only interested in accommodating those who think, feel and talk like me. So I want to learn, and sift the knowledge, holding on to that which makes me a better person, and allow the breath of wisdom to blow the rest away.
