The pearls of Norway!

Hi friends! Actually, I am not talking about the real pearls that comes from the sea, but for me these are pearls because they are very precious. Looking at them makes my soul uplifted. Be one with our Creator. We have a lot of these pearls in Norway.
These pictures were taken by me during the date I had with my hubby. Nice memories to cherish, especially now that he in on board the ship again. Sigh...

I included qoutes in between to ponder. Hope you will like them too:)
