143/365: "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

143/365: "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
In our front yard, growing around the sides of the house, are Blue Periwinkle bushes which are now covered with these beautiful flowers. I absolutely love the "star within a star" and the swirling appearance of the petals. Always a favorite, a closely related species of these flowers grow wild here in Oregon.

The quote I chose was in response to the situation on Flickr, which was making me very depressed. I have decided to remove my comments about my struggles and frustrations because the solution is clear: I closed my account at Flickr and moved to ipernity and have been very happy ever since!

Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman, activist, and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience. King has become a national icon in the history of American progressivism.

A beautiful image, with a Zenlike clarity. (I share your feelings about Flickr and am glad to have found a new home here on ipernity--glad, too, to have found your lovely photos!)
