[During the last few months I’ve seen a meme around the blogosphere that asks you to share three quotes + three photos.
Or something like that.
The intention is that you do this over the course of three days, but this being a quiet Sunday afternoon, and me being me, I think that I’ll do it all at once.
Why not? Are the blogging police going to come and get me?]

I took these photos last month when we were visiting Centennial Park, Nashville TN. The famous author quotes are three of my favorites which seem to go perfectly with the photos.
Don’t you love serendipity?

ps. The Blogging Police left me pretty well alone, when I fubar’ed the rules a bit too. I think you’re probably safe.

Wonderful quote choices. I bet Anne Lamott keeps her friends and family on their toes with those words. 😉

Carrie, I bet that she does. Maybe we all should adopt that quote as our motto so that people will think twice before messing around with us. 🙂

But I’m such a conflict-avoider, I’d chicken out at the last minute and not be able to do that to someone. Unless I really, really disguised it…

Yes, I know what you mean. They’d really have to make me angry… and that’s not easy to do.

I think I’ll steal your meme if I can find some photos I want to share. Your photos are lovely as usual and I love the quotes.
I agree with the stories quote. I just wish people passing on the stories wouldn’t try to pass them off as true.

Zazzy, feel free to do this meme, my way OR your way OR the “correct” way! It’s a fun way to make a blog post.
I agree about people telling untrue stories then passing them on as truth. Authenticity has gotten lost in this socially mediated world in which we live. There’s such a need for attention.
