"When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge." --Albert Einstein |
Glad you liked it. I got it (mostly) in email and, remembering your Lab pics, figured you might like to see it.
Oh... ‘fraid I couldn’t personally attest to that.
RE: “I am no Einstein, but fantasy land is a great place to be. ;)”
LOL. I suspected that particular Einstein quote might be okay for a thread named “The Dragonflies’ Lair” ...grin.
LOL great pic!
