The loveliest
Masterpiece
Of the heart of God
Is the heart
Of a Mother.

About Me
- Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti
- Colorado / New York, United States
- Hello and welcome! I'm Pat, a lifelong New Yorker who has recently moved to a suburb of Denver in the beautiful state of Colorado, so that I can live close to my children and grandchildren. I look forward to learning many new things about my new "mile high" city and I will share them on my blog. New York City will always be my second home, and I will also continue to share many posts about it. My blog's name in Italian means a "Thousand Favorite Flowers." I chose this unusual blog name because researching and writing for my blog, and taking photogrpahs for it, is like another "memory flower" that I am collecting in my bouquet of life. I hope you will enjoy your visit to my blog and that you will leave a comment so that I know you've been here. Thanks!

Rocky Mountain National Park
“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.” ― John Muir, Our National Parks

You can fall in love at first sight with a place as with a person ~ Alec Waugh
Mt Evans
I was uplifted above a world of love, hate, and storms of passion, for I was calm amidst the eternal silences, bathing in the living blue. For peace rested that one bright day on the mountaintop. ~ Isabella Bird "A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains"

"Life is your art. An open, aware heart is your camera. A oneness with your world is your film." ~Ansel Adams
Rocky Mountain National Park
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.” ~Roald Dahl
Rocky Mountain National Park
And our first pure mountain day, warm, calm, cloudless, - how immeasurable it seems, how serenely wild! I can scarcely remember its beginning. Along the river, over the hills, in the ground, in the sky, spring work is going on with joyful enthusiasm, new life, new beauty, unfolding, unrolling in glorious exuberant extravagance, - new birds in their nests, new winged creatures in the air, and new leaves, new flowers, spreading, shining, rejoicing everywhere. - John Muir

“Still round the corner there may wait a new road or a secret gate, and though I oft have passed them by, a day will come at last when I shall take the hidden paths that run West of the Moon, East of the Sun.” - J.R.R. Tolkien,

Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. ~Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

1998 - 2013 I still miss those I loved who are no longer with me, but I find I am grateful for having loved them. The gratitude has finally conquered the loss.

Hi Pat,
A bit late, pls accept my sincere thanks for your nice comment left on my page.
As far as cobblestones, I like them, and a good thing I almost never wear my stilletoes, LOL:)
By the way, the cobblestone roads surrounding the area particularly Southstreet, near Manhattan, the shopping along those cobblestoned roads, everywhere I love NYC, the world city never sleeps like Istanbul. Thanks that I enjoy a lot when reding your blog, and your photos, too.
Oh btw, I'd LOVE to see your photos taken in your pavements, if you can do it, share your experience with us, Pat.
Wish you the Happiest of Happy Mother's Day.
Lots of love,
Nihal
What a beautiful mom you have! Happy Mother's Day!
