That is why what's in your heart is so much more important than what's on your face. - I love this candid shot! You must have a really great telephoto lens. I always marvel at your close-ups that are paired with your scenery shots.Rachelhttp://www.theorangebeachdaily.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-78456090912750176022011-04-30T20:43:09.990+02:002011-04-30T20:43:09.990+02:00I wonder. . .I wonder . . .I wonder. . .I wonder . . .Sharon Creechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297551991159941966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-63305419470524854902011-04-30T20:13:05.270+02:002011-04-30T20:13:05.270+02:00There is a Yeat's poem, Jilly, 'A Prayer f...There is a Yeat's poem, Jilly, 'A Prayer for my Daughter' which includes the stanza:<br /><br />May she be granted beauty and yet not<br />Beauty to make a stranger's eye distraught,<br />Or hers before a looking glass, for such<br />Being made beautiful overmuch,<br />Consider beauty a sufficient end,<br />Lose natural kindness and maybe<br />The heart-revealing intimacy<br />That choses right, and never find a friend.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-54400233499855970652011-04-30T17:06:01.081+02:002011-04-30T17:06:01.081+02:00Jilly, I worked with a top model recently. I asked...Jilly, I worked with a top model recently. I asked her how it felt to be so beautiful? She answered it was a curse because all she could see in the mirror were the little flaws, lines starting... As they say, beauty is only skin deep. I really believe beauty comes from within but also I remember when I lived in France, our new neighbor was probably in her 70's. She had a speach impediment because of a cleft palate. She had been single all her life and she adored children. She would have made such a wonderful wife and mother. She was so incredibly nice and loving, her "flaws" disappeared and you could only see grace and BEAUTY. To this day, I still think of Mademoiselle Pégon with love. I will take an ugly 16 year old over a gorgeous but bratty one. Of course, any teenager will find a made-up 60 year old woman pretty, but for a grown woman to say that at 60 you can only look good because you have to "work at it" is very shallow.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031276247743743680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-14828464948805341132011-04-30T15:47:50.088+02:002011-04-30T15:47:50.088+02:00I doubt she knows.
