Leonardo was one clever man. Though my father infected me by telling me and I quote 'he is the man who drew horses arses so well'. And it is true, he did, among a great many other things he did supremely well. Nonetheless horses behinds are what I first think of when his name comes up.
Oh,to be able to fly.! Something I still dream about since childhood,with real wings,not in metal machines which I dread. The photo is so apt for this lovely quote. Carolyn.
That would make a super wall poster. There were a lot of people around the world, who would have like to fly a few days ago when our national carrier QANTAS grounded every plane for 24 hours due to industrial disputes.
This sings to my husband's heart, for sure...he wanted to become a fighter pilot since age 5 and realized his goal. And then he received a medical grounding because of a heart attack in 2oo1. He hasn't flown in a long time, and I know how much it always meant to him! Of course, there are other kinds of flight--like that of the soul!
Born English but have lived in America for almost 36 years, now proudly a US Citizen but as the old saying goes and as Gregg occasionally tells me, you can take the girl out of England but you can never take England out of the girl.
This is my Mom and Dad, Stanley Douglas Haig Goodall and Joan Goodall, nee Howell. Sorry, this link is for my family, and only family members will be able to click on Dad's picture to view. I have added this link for their easy access.
If any family members pop in and would like to be added to the list, let me know and I will send an invite.
Dad was a member of the Boys' Brigade.This photo was taken around 1928. I am sad to say I don't have any childhood photos of my Mum.

Delightful photo and quotation, Denise.
He was right! Lovely!
Wonderful words and such a great shot.
Also once you have been on the sea - same applies.
I have to agree with imac.

How beautiful! Having just come back from a flight, I'm really ready for a rest though.

Yes, I wish I was back up there, going somewhere nice.
