I’ve been nominated again for the Three Quotes Challenge, this time by the lovely Galit Balli, an excellent blogger whose posts are really interesting and varied. Not only does Galit write great book reviews for ‘The Reading Bud’, she also shares her experiences of writing her own book as well as doing lots of other fun and interesting posts.
These are the challenge rules:
- Post one quotation a day for three days (they can be from other sources or one of your own).
- Nominate 3 other bloggers to participate per post.
- Thank the blogger who nominated you.
The last time I did this challenge I decided to do quotes about writing, so this time I thought I’d do three quotes about the weather. So far, I’ve posted quotes about rain and sunshine. For my last post in the challenge I’ve chosen a weather-type that I don’t like… the wind. I don’t like fog either, especially the thick, persistent type that can cause so many accicents. But I can only do three quotes, so windy weather it is…
This is my Quote for Day Three:
I really couldn’t decide which of these two images to use for this quote. They’re quite different and give a different ‘feel’ to Picasso’s quote. I think Picasso intended his words to be taken as a bit of fun – but perhaps that’s just my interpretation. Anyway, I’m posting both pictures, so see what you think:

This is nothing to do with the challenge, but here is one of my favourite poems about the wind – which most people will already know. It’s a simple little poem, but so effective:
Who Has seen the Wind?
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you
But when the leaves hang trembling
The wind is passing through
*
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I
But when the trees bow down their heads
The wind is passing by

Christina Rossetti
