" A little onward
lend thy guiding hand
To these dark steps,
a little further on.”

Fish school together
turtles swim
alone.
I must be
a turtle,
For following
an idle current
agrees with my
constitution:
finding, musing,
doubling back.
Yes,
I like to marinate
in Thick,
Rich, Creamy,
Velvety
Solitude.
Spiced librally
with great blog pals
and Alohas
in passing.
And were I
Wealthy
I'd wander
just the same.
'Even as the lion
not trembling at noises,
even as the wind
not caught in a net,
even as the lotus leaf
untouched by the water,
so do thou wander
alone like the
rhinoceros.'
Buddha

Yeah, for the most part I am a turtle as well. If I swim with the rest of the fishes in a school I tend to miss all the good stuff that everyone passes by.
Great shots with lovely colors....good work Cloudia
WOW dramatic skies!
Your blog is a great way to start the morning Cloudia. Have a great day :)
Well according to the Chinese 'thing' I'm a tiger, but honestly after all the goodies I've eaten today I would say a pig, but from tomorrow I will eat like a mouse!!
Definitely a turtle/rhinoceros.
How is it that you get such beautiful skies over there?
such vibrant colors ... nice and warm
Well, both the turtle (tortoise) and the rhinoceros are supposed to be mystical animals... so rock on Ms. turtocerous in your velvety blanket of solitude, rock on!
I'm definitely a Rhino too. Love my solitude.
Amazing angelic, snow white hibiscus! I don't like crowds; 1-10 more additional people in my path is comfy. DrumMajor
Me, too!
the dramatic skies are so beautiful
I think I'm a rhinocerous too :)
The sky photos are fabulous!
*Bang* (Gavel)
Let's call this meeting
of the Turtle-Ocerous Society
to order!
Thanks dears
Oh a turtle/rhino here too. A day without solitude leaves me spent.
I'm a rhinosterhorse, too!

I think I tend to be an entirlely different critter. And Dragcatonfly.
I hear you, Cloudia! Blogging is the last thing I do in the day because it makes for such a lovely and peaceful close to all that has been done. The good guys are here.
A title comes to me for those top pics. "Flight to adventure."
Gorgeous shots, Cloudia. What fabulous skies!
I love my solitude, too. It refreshes my spirit. :)
Great contrasts in these wonderful views!
