ReplyDeleteLove the J.K. Rowlings quote and the image of the little green sprouts with really big thoughts. Have a great 2012 Cloudia!

ReplyDeleteI do think Mr. Bird, or Mrs. Bird believes (really hopes) they are completely hidden from all wandering eyes....but I'm glad you caught a photo! To Rowlings quote I add, This day is your easel! Now we must use it up! Welcome to January 2012! I so enjoyed the walk about green grasses, fluffy clouds in rich blue skies, and stunning life waiting to be seen! We have a taste of real winter, finally...and it's really COLD! :)
ReplyDeleteCloudia...I am curious...how do you decide the theme of your posts? I love that shot from above and the way you connect so many things together in such a meaningful way.

ReplyDeleteThose egrets are funny birds!
ReplyDeleteIf I knew how I come up with,
and carry out these posts,
I'd surely tell you -
but it's a happy mystery.
I play with ideas, photos, quotes and magically something happens:
YOU come visit! WoW!
Thanks
I happened to come to your doorsteps through Kavita's blog. As regards this post of yours, I am astonished to find the variety of trees growing there. Beautifully captured. Incidentally I learnt that Hindus have a very large temple complex in Hawai. Could you post some thing aboput it. A very happy New Year to you and your family. Aloha.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quoted today. Happy New Year!! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
ReplyDeleteI love exotic a few banana trees in my garden.

WhooHoo. As soon as the photos appeared on my screen...I knew I'd escaped the rain of oregon. Thanks for the virtual vacation. What a relief.
ReplyDeleteI love your thought process. You are always, always, always what the doctor ordered.
ReplyDeletevery happy to see YOU-
ReplyDeleteWELCOME each of you!
All these quotes really struck a chord with me. One of his classmates told Art that he shouldn't do marathons and races, but should stick to things appropriate to his age... like golf.
ReplyDeleteThat only made him get out there and run more.
I guess we have to do what we have to do.
