Edelweiss
"Edelweiss, edelweiss,
Every morning you greet me.
Small and white,
Clean and bright,
You look happy to meet me.
Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow,
Bloom and grow forever.
Edelweiss, edelweiss,
Bless my homeland forever."

Finance Reform: A Bullet to the Brain14 years ago
"It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" Patrick Henry, 1775

Hi Chuck! I love the "Sound of Music"!! Recently I watch it again, after so many years, and I was very touched by the songs and the breathtaking alps which I once set foot on a few years ago!
I love Edelweiss! :D
And yes, I have posts on Florence and Venice at my blog, pls click here ->

Thanks, Eunice. I love the movie, and I love Julie Andrews. And the scenery is breathtaking, as you said.
I'll be checking out your posts on Florence and Venice, too. Man made objects can be as breathtaking as nature!
Hi Chuck! What a shame! I didn't know those yellow flowers are dandelions! :P Thanks for telling me that!!
Hmm, do you think those are Edelweiss in this photo taken from the Swiss alps?

Well, dandelions was my guess, anyway. Here's what a dandelion looks like when it blossoms:

And this is what edelweiss looks like: http://tinyurl.com/5kea2v
Hard to tell if those were edelweiss you were sitting amongst in that Alpine landscape. They looked too small to be edelweiss to me, plus I didn't see any yellow in the center of the, such as edelweiss has.
Very nice pictures, nevertheless.
