Quote – Charles Dickens – One Of Those March Days

One afternoon in early March, a few weeks ago, at the end of a cold snap, the sun popped out from behind the clouds and began to melt the snow on the south facing back roof our the house. With the temperature at -9°C the eavestrough filled with water and then the water started to turned to ice. With nowhere for the water to go but over the edge, we had icicles forming all along the eavestrough. Those icicles in turn dripped water that landed onto some dried plants in a flowerbed below that were left over from last fall. Here is a shot that I captured on that day and I thought the following quote suited the photograph well. – Leslie

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is Summer in the light and Winter in the shade” – Charles Dickens

Quotes

This feature should need no explanation except that the quotes will be about photography, nature, art, maybe even the odd one about pets or life in general. They are all quotes we think are interesting, find meaningful or just put a smile on your face.

 

Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.

– Ansel Adams
