you require joy

Lionel Shriver



"Most of the time,
age feels like a mask -
something that I wear,
not something that I am-
and when I gaze fondly
on the faces of my old friends
I can see them
as they were when we were
young."


Judith Thurman



"April prepares her green traffic light
and the world thinks Go."

"You ask me why I dwell in the green mountain;
I smile and make no reply for my heart is free of care.
As the peach-blossom flows down stream and is gone into the unknown,
I have a world apart that is not among men."

Li Bai


Thanks for rambling by today, cloudia

ALWAYS a beautiful ramble through your neck of the woods. I took a walk on the wild side yesterday. So pretty! Not as warm as you. But we invented coats for a reason!

How is your spring different from all the other season? I am guessing it is warm almost all year long.

Lana remarks often about how many shades of green there are in the spring woods. Lovely.

Cloudia said...

Yes, as Ron says, it has been late-winter chilly here (60s Fahrenheit last night)

Spring is sweet here, as different things bloom...the whales prepare to depart for Alaska...

Thanks for being a pal!

Fantastic shots. I am envious of your spring shots. No spring in this part of the world.....just winter and spring...in extreme weather conditions.

Great photography and wise words...an interesting and powerful combination.

Have a nice day my friend.Salaam!

Sometimes when I look at my husband, I see the 19 year-old boy I fell in love with.

Thanks always for your visits. Good to see you, my friend.

Aloha. xo
