Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge – Imagination
Imagination – life would be unbearable without it. I was an imaginative child, and much of it was sparkled by books and all those stories hidden inside…
I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
Jorge Luis Borges
Personally, I would sooner have written Alice in Wonderland than the whole Encyclopedia Britannica.
Stephen Leacock
This piece of Encyclopaedia Britannica was bought by my daughter, who used her imaginative creativity to make it end up as my birthday present!
Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge: Buzz
I’m an outdoorsman kind of person, so I don’t like the buzz of the crowd, crowd, crowd and all that so much. I mean I don’t mind it, but I don’t seek it out.
Josh Holloway
Ese’s weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge – Touch
Touch is important…
Shoes are the finishing touch on any outfit and it is important to complete a look with the perfect pair!
Tracy Reese
Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge: Music
Music is an important part of our lives – and Music is also Ese’s challenge this week. Young people today have music plugged in their ears all day it seems…which would be a bit too much for me… I love silence.
I do love silence, but I also love almost all kinds of music, from bird song to heavy metal. I have a sweet tooth for music coming up spontaneously among people, for big voices like Freddie Mercury’s and tenors as Andrea Bocelli’s, for clear and soaring ones like Mireille Mathieu’s and Sara Brightman’s – and also for odd instruments.
Music is everybody’s possession. It’s only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon
London – and it Is really good…
Madrid market – skilled!
Folk songs by spontaneous folk singers
Madrid market – happy!

Ese’s Shoot & Quote Challenge: Continuous
The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.
John Dewey

Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge: Happiness
Happiness can be many things – why not to have a happy, newly married young man, rummaging with his friends in my kitchen, baking bread by candle light, wearing a funny apron? I guess Ese has many other solutions at her place!
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
Dalai Lama
Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge: Memories
Memories, well, some say you should forget the past and only live for the future. I do not think that is a wise way of thinking. I think we all need memories to be able to live for the future. I simply had to use two quotes to make this work:
Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.
Bob Dylan
A mother’s happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.
Honoré de Balzac
My children when they were small. The happiest days in my life.
Occasionally I stumble upon a student who loves books and reading…and who even stays behind in the classroom when the lesson is over!
Mille came back to life again…his severe illness almost cost him his life. This photo is from April 2012, when he was home again after a stay in hospital. He had lost at least half his weight.
A happy moment when I believed we had saved this magnificent bird. We found him exhausted under a tree and took him to a wildlife specialist. Unfortunately he couldn’t be saved in the end.
A Christmas greeting from a student – found one morning on my locker at school.
My always smart, funny, inspiring and lovely children – thank you for all the happy, hilarious and wonderful moments we’ve had together so far!
For more great memories, visit Ese!
Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge: Silence
Silence is a favourite sound of mine. And, Ese gives us the chance of showing what this essentially means to us. To me, it can be hiking an early morning alone in the mountains, and then enjoying the first rays of sun in silent awe of Mother Nature.
True silence is the rest of mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.
William Penn
Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Callenge: Direction
Direction is what Ese points out to us this week…as usual a delightful challenge – why don’t you join in?
Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!
