99/365: “Don't buy the house, buy the neighborhood.” ~ Russian Proverb
I'm in San Francisco for the week, visiting my dad, and this is Day 4! I am so sorry that I don't have time to leave comments while I'm gone, but I really appreciate every one of your visits and comments! They mean the world to me. *hugs* Miss you guys!!!
Today I helped my dad with an important project we began the last time I visited. My mother was a world-class quilter and has dozens of quilts. My dad wants to have pictures taken of every one of them, and added to his personal website (which isn't live yet). It's a huge job but we manage to get a wall cleared of everything and have taken pictures of four of them so far--many more to go! I will be sharing pictures but I don't have time to go through them just yet.
This morning I had only a few minutes to play with my camera, so I walked up the block and back again, taking pictures of some of the flowers and other fun things I found along the way! I can't believe all the amazing things there are to take pictures of!! It's probably a good thing I don't have my Mark II with me...I'd never want to leave!! :D :D :D My dad is fortunate to live in a very nice neighborhood and it's always been very safe, very beautiful, and it's in a centrally-located spot in the city, which makes it easy to get anywhere without much trouble! :)
Russian language proverbs are words of wisdom created in Slavic languages by Slavic peoples. The proverbs originated from oral history and ancient written texts dating as far back as the 12th century. The Russian language is replete with many hundreds of proverbs and sayings. The proverbs express a universal concept, have a moral lesson and provide an insight into many aspects of history, culture, and national character of the people who created them. By the 17th century, the proverbs were collected and documented. They were studied in the 19th and 20th centuries. Vladimir Dal was a famous lexicographer of the Russian Empire whose collection was published in Russian language in the late 19th century as The Sayings and Bywords of the Russian People, featuring more than 30,000 entries. They continue to endure in modern literature and folklore. Evidence of this is seen in the collection of Russian anti-proverbs collected by Reznikov. Wiki: Russian Proverbs
