The outer world … has actually no character whatsoever of its own, either good or bad. It has only the character that we give to it by our own thinking … the whole of our life’s experience is but the outer expression of inner thought. ~ Emmet Fox

I am resonating with your quote and your photo. Loving butterflies and the innocence and wisdom that they impart. Hope you have had a very good Labor Day weekend, Lori. Hope you’re not too hot.

Staying cool in my “submarine” (a/c) room for now. I always set a plan to head north some time in September so I have nicer weather to look forward to. Glad you enjoyed the butterfly and that the quote resonated with you, Kathy. Hope you’ve had a nice Labor Day weekend.

I needed to read the quote a few times before I understood it. Very profound. Our inner thoughts define our life. Right?

Beautiful photo – a master piece – I’m the same … love my old film eating camera. Digital not the same at all .. at least not the little one I have. Sorry, but I can not really grip the quote … neither I’m tired or I don’t read it right. Enjoy your photo very much.

Hi Viveka! The quote simply means that life is the way we make it. How we see things is what matters.

Thanks, Pete. I resorted to scanning some old film photos. I’m having a more difficult time with digital. This butterfly was originally in the center of the photo, but the left side had a darker setting behind it, so I just cut it out. Glad you liked it.

For some reason, butterfly photography never seems to get old.

Yes, and this photo IS old. I took it back in the day of film and scanned it for the blog. I’m no photographer, but I can’t seem to figure out digital quite as well as l did film. Sigh. Thanks so much for stopping by and checking it out.

I would love it, thank you. I wish I could share a specific photo and ask what I did wrong. For now, I just have trouble with colors washing out. Whether I put the camera on automatic or I adjust manually for lighting, it washes out color. I use a Canon Rebel EOS XT.
