Hello followers and happy 2023!
The first post this year is my challenge Words of Wisdom (WoW) for which you are supposed to pair a quote of your choice (may be by someone famous, or anonymous, funny or intelligent or none of those things) with a photo that you took.
My choice for this cold month (that I, contrary to the coypu below, like) is:
I am a Florida guy. I don’t do cold.

Hello followers 🙂
Today “my” Words of Wisdom were penned by famous Miguel de Cervantes. Selecting just a few was a difficult task for me since he is one of my favourite authors. I hope you will enjoy this post and join me with your entries to this photo and quote challenge. Cheers!
When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness.
To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!
(or in original: “Cuando la vida misma parece loca, ¿quién sabe dónde está la locura? Quizás ser demasiado práctico es una locura. Renunciar a los sueños, esto puede ser una locura. Demasiada cordura puede ser una locura, y lo más loco de todo: ver la vida como es, y no como debería ser!”
And the my favourite:
He who reads a lot and travels a lot, sees a lot and knows a lot. i.e. “El que lee mucho y anda mucho, ve mucho y sabe mucho“

I am running on a very tigth schedule this month, so please forgive me for posting only now and not seeing your past entries yet.
Those who have been following my posts for a couple of years must have noticed that I like capturing patterns, but it is getting hard to come up with a number of synonyms for them.
Well, here it goes for this time:
ARRANGED
CODED PATTERN
ORGANISED
SEQUENTIAL
SYSTEMATISED

If you forgot how to post for this challenge, just pick one of the words proposed in this post, or several or all of them and illustrate them in images of your own. There are no deadlines, no winners. The only purpose is to have fun. Cheers!
P.S. Please, stay tuned for Wednesday challenge – Words of Wisdom

CHALLENGE ALERT!
I am starting a new photo challenge (in addition to the current one Pick a Word). It is about words again, words and photos. It is called Words of Wisdom and it will run one Wednesday every month (weeks will vary).
For this challenge you are supposed to write a quote either by someone famous, or your own and illustrate it in images taken by you. You can use proverbs, funny quotes, whatever you like. Any quote on any subject to be illustrated through your photos.
I hope you’ll find this fun. I know that I look forward to seeing what you will come up with.
For the first post I chose three quotes about reading.
It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help it. ~ Oscar Wilde
Reading is thinking with some one else’s head instead of one’s own. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
and one of my favourites:
We’re drowning in information and starving for knowledge ~ Rutherford D. Rogers (noted Yale librarian)
And here is a photo that comes along.
