Best things in life are priceless

"It has long been an axiom of mine that

the little things are infinitely

the most important."

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

TRUE THAT! this little collection of simple things is no small wonder.
Noe said at 12:05 a.m. on Dec 10, 2008:
Totalmente de acuerdo! =)
Jigs said at 12:08 a.m. on Dec 10, 2008:
So true! And your tabblo is priceless, too! ;-)
Abking said at 1:06 a.m. on Dec 10, 2008:
Sealed with a kiss! Maybe we should sweat the small stuff, and forget about the big stuff. Or is it all small stuff when we look at it correctly. You make a good case here for the priceless around us.
Chilla said at 2:49 a.m. on Dec 10, 2008:
Absolutely wonderful and so true! Thanks for this heartwarming tabblo!
Liliana said at 3:29 a.m. on Dec 10, 2008:
¿No tienen precio o son preciosas...? ¡Ambas! Esperaba algo así esta semana. Bien diferente de lo habitual. Mucho hogar, mamá, familia. ¿Será saudade anticipada? Imágenes "pra se guardar / no lado esquerdo do peito".

RITA, LINDA, CHARLES, IRA, SUE, PAM, NOE, JIGS, ALLAN, CELIA & LILIANA: I know I take the same photos every time I visit my family, but that's part of the enchantment of simple things: there are always subtle changes, new details. That yellow flower of last tab is now a beautiful pumpkin, the acerolas (barbados cherry) are now ready do be picked, the kids have learnt new words.

I'm tempted to rename this tab, and use LINDA's comment ("Priceless and precious"). Or maybe I'll use it next time.

"There are not small things and big things. There are small and big ways to deal with things" (Buddhist saying, quoted from memory and badly translated by myself).

Family, is what life is all about. Without it, life is a lonely road. We are meant to share the simple things of life, as it is the process of giving that will be the most rewarding. That is why Xmas and other such festivities are set aside times for reflection and remembrance of what really matters to people. Mike.

you are really i n s p i r e d lately... beautiful portraits. very real. the big stuff IS the small stuff (to help out Allan! lol)
Hhwind said at 8:10 a.m. on Dec 10, 2008:
These pictures are indeed treasures, great portraits
Eduardo.affonso said at 8:50 a.m. on Dec 10, 2008:
MIKE: I'm very proud of my lonely road, but sometimes even an eremite needs some relief...

ANNELIES: What do you exactly mean by "lately"? Last 49 years 7 months & 18 days??

TEO: In this case, the meaning seems to be more important than any technical quality, I guess.

How true !!!

Lovely Eduardo, Tender and Sweet!~~Robbi

I couldn'tagree with any more.You have captured the essence of what is really important.
Candlepower said at 1:48 p.m. on Dec 10, 2008:
The joy in the little things that makes life good! This is wonderful! A Favorite!
Tishfish said at 2:39 p.m. on Dec 10, 2008:
Indeed they are ! ! ! ! Lovely shots .
Liliana said at 2:58 p.m. on Dec 10, 2008:
Eduardo: ¿comentario de Linda... o lindo comentario? Che, yo dije lo mismo (sabés que no leí los anteriores), no muy original pero... en castellano, es lo mismo... :(
Eduardo.affonso said at 3:14 p.m. on Dec 10, 2008:
DAVID, ROBBI, SANDY, PAT & DOREEN: I'm glad to notice we share the same values (not only similar tastes about photography).

LILIANA: Na verdade, pensei que fosse uma pergunta retórica, à la Dudu. Se você comparar com um dos álbuns anteriores, vai encontrar os mesmos temas (cerca e couve, flor de abóbora, flores silvestres, flor de cebolinha, mãe...), ou seja, nada diferente do habitual. Talvez sejam mesmo saudades antecipadas (aliás, bom título para um tabblo futuro...).
Liliana said at 5:15 p.m. on Dec 10, 2008:
Sí, es una pregunta "a lo Dudú"... pero sigue diciendo lo mismo: no tienen precio-son preciosas. Sinceramente no había leído (acabo de hacerlo) el comentario en inglés. Gracias por lo del título. Es cierto: las fotos de la chacra (¿es chacra, finalmente...?) tienen una temática común , muy relajada, tranquila, ¡¡con chicos!! Lindo entrar en esa intimidad abierta al mundo (¿es medio confuso...?).
EMA said at 7:29 p.m. on Dec 10, 2008:
Aposto que o beijo de sua mãe é o mais importante de todos! :)
Gorgeous tabblo Eduardo! I totally agree with with about the importance of the little things in life.
Bxrgirl27 said at 9:04 a.m. on Dec 11, 2008:
This tabblo is full of beauty and life!
Shenresi said at 10:10 a.m. on Dec 11, 2008:
wow, you really make very good shots . I like the portrait of the dog!!!
Debdog said at 12:05 p.m. on Dec 11, 2008:
you've got it Eduardo :) these ARE the REAL and important things in life......you capture the life, and the moments and LOVE of your family
Debdog said at 12:05 p.m. on Dec 11, 2008:
and doggie(they are family too of course )
Eduardo.affonso said at 4:48 p.m. on Dec 11, 2008:
LILIANA: Pode até ser chácara, mas chamamos de sítio, mesmo. Ainda vou fazer fotos mais íntimas, domésticas, com comida na mesa, galinhas nos ninhos, essas coisas. Quanto à questão preciso / sem preço, acho que as coisas mais preciosas são exatamente aquelas às quais não se pode dar um preço, né não?

EMA: Acho que há duas idades em que os beijos ganham um significado e uma pureza particulares - a infância e a velhice.

LAURA, ANGELA & DEBBIE: It's so good to have friends like you to share these photos with. And I'm glad you noticed the dog (it's Benedita, my canine muse).
Liliana said at 5:35 p.m. on Dec 11, 2008:
¡¡¡¡Por suerte!!!! (Lo de no se puede dar un precio).
Sirnicolay said at 11:27 p.m. on Dec 11, 2008:
I couldn't agree more. The best things in life are free. Very beautiful tab, Edu. :) TOD material for me. I also love the quote you got from Doyle. The shots are true to the essence of the tabblo--very simple...essential. Thank you for this. :)
Ebucar said at 9:46 a.m. on Dec 12, 2008:
Totalmente de acordo, sem dúvida. João está cada dia mais lindo. E Júlia com um sorriso sempre encantador. Tudo isso me lembra da chácara da minha famíllia. Ou sítio, com se diz em certo lugares do Brasil . Aquela couve, hmmmm, que delícia.
Nina1960 said at 1:11 p.m. on Dec 13, 2008:
I totally agree with you..the quote from Doyle....these pictures are beautiful and these are very precious moments in life wich you can cherish.
Debdog said at 4:23 p.m. on Dec 20, 2008:
life is even better when shared with a dog :)
Welshchick said at 5:33 p.m. on Dec 26, 2008:
I would say that YOU CAN BANK ON THAT QUOTE~ :^)
