May you rest in peace, Ms. Angelou. Thank you for being an inspiration. This quote, in particular, is what I aspire to do every day of my life.

Aw, I just heard through you. I loved her. Wonderful words, quote and shot. A fav!

[Marc]

Wonderful tribute, and love the shot.

[Ms. T]

@amandal @jmrittle thank you both! Am posting this from my phone so I don't know what this looks like on the big screen. I saved this pic to my phone from my original pic on Flickr, so the quality has been downgraded.

Beautiful shot. Love it. Fav.

Being an ignorant Brit, I had to google Ms Angelou...

Wow.

[Ms. T]

@joeboo thank you for your fave :)

[JoeBoo]

@fauxtography365 - Mebbe it's just me, but it's a mesmeric shot. Can't stop myself from being absorbed by it.

[Ms. T]

@joeboo at the risk of sounding obnoxious, I quite like it too. I had actually taken this shot accidentally...hadn't focused the lens. When I uploaded it, I saw that it looked cool with the sparkly sunny bokeh and ended up liking it as much as the focused shot, seen here: http://365project.org/fauxtography365/365/2014-04-23 thanks again for your kind words :)

Memorable capture and an insightful and memorable quote. You score on both counts. Fav

[Ms. T]

@tonydebont thank you. I have trouble just letting a picture "say a thousand words" but I had been looking for a quote to go with this pic. Not sure it matches exactly but I do think the pic and image both leave something to ponder....

[Ms. T]

@tonydebont. Grrrr. I meant the *quote and image leave something to ponder*. Not the "pic and image". Redundant. I'm having trouble with technology today lol.

[Baznman]

Lovely quote.

I think the shot being out of focus works really well! love the saturation of the colors and think the 2 work really well together. I try to watch the sunset as often as I can :)

[Ms. T]

@baznman thank you, Baz! Sunsets are pretty awesome, aren't they? :)

[Tom]

Wonderful tribute for a very beautiful inspirational person. Love the quote and feeling that the photo conveys

[Mary]

Wonderful colors. The haze is just right.

[Joe III]

Thank you for this shot, Ms. T. A beautiful quote from a beautiful, graceful intelligent woman. She is missed.

[Ms. T]

@thirdjoe She is definitely missed! thanks for taking a look, Joe!

RIP Maya, such a wise woman.
