people are not really free. They are confined by the niche in the world that
they carve out for themselves. They limit themselves to fewer possibilities by
the narrowness of their vision.”

Great visuals with just the right words.

This is a wonderful post. How true is it that we can visualize so much in life, but at least for me I rarely look outside the box.
Thanks for the post!
Great quotes and words to live by, I think. :)
All too true, those quotes.
It's easy for me to see small wonders as I walk, buds on flowers, etc., but not so easy to have a different vision of my life or the world. We do "see" things through our own filters/biases and it's hard to let go of them or shift our perspective enough to see other things, sometimes.
I LOVE, LOVE, Did I say LOVE this post -

May I borrow that sometime?
And you are dead on with what you say.

A lovely, and thought provoking, way to start my morning =)
Thank you!
Great quotes Tracy.
I finally got a chance to read every one's blogs. This year my asthma is acting up more than usual. Also, since a couple of people left at work, it is hard to take time off.
Your comments on my blog entries are inspirations in themselves.
I admire your job as a special ed teacher. My niece has down syndrome and my brother is in mid fifties. He wants to make enough money to leave her a home. I do not have the heart to tell him that his daughter may not be able to take care of the house. She is now reaching the age of puberty and she is now very much withdrawn. When she was younger she was a little friendlier. I am trying to understand human mind and my own worries about myself possibly loosing memory are overshadowing my productivity. Take care.
Wonderful quotes with perfect pictures to illustrate. I do so miss my eyes of a child to see things as if for the first time.
Awesome quotes! So true...we miss so much when we don't pause to look around us. Literally and figuratively. :-) Beautiful post! Have a great day!
we do lose our ability to just see and believe, don't we?
I love these pictures and quotes, especially the last one. Vision is so much more than what we see right in front of our face, though often we miss that too!
very nice quotes and photos to compliment them
loved the images and inspirations!
Oooo, I so love these quotes. I'm totally stealing them. Don't be surprised when they show up on FB. lol
I think because my mom lost her sight at a very early age, I really appreciate the beauty all around us! Wonderful visions, Tracy.
Really beautiful images and ideas that you've connected with them.
Thanks for all your posts on this A to Z Challenge. I've enjoyed visiting and seeing what you've shared on your blog.
Very good, and very pretty visions! Yes, I think it is a gift to be able to see beauty in anything.
Beautiful pics
Loving the quotes today!
Well done Ms. Tracy...we love the shot under the pier.
Hugs Madi

Memorable quotes combined with beautiful pictures! Julie
Just wonderful quotes on Vision, and great captures to illustrate them.
Getting close to the end...I've really enjoyed this.
Love the tree and all it's gnarly roots!!! Discoveries like that are like making shapes from the clouds!...:)JP
I love reading about the visions of others. Inspiring to me. Thank you.
We live in a beautiful world, don't we?
Thanks for the journey-proof that photos are worth a thousand words!
Cheers.

I love the last quote. We do often limit ourselves with our thinking or our expectations.
Terri
Hi There, I love the quote saying that "Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others." That is SO true--especially to us photographers... I see things so differently since I got serious about taking good photographs.
That last picture looks like the fishing pier at Ocean Isle Beach --where we will be soon!!!!! Yeah.
Hugs,
Betsy
Very nice, Tracy. It's true we see what we choose to see. It is all about our perspective and whether we are looking for the good or looking for the bad. Neat photos! :)
May I never be limited by 'narrowness of vision'.
As always your post was a vision for my eyes :)to behold!
I love the underside of piers! :) And I can so imagine fairies frolicking in the roots of that old tree!
