Self Portrait

A  L  O  H  A !

" Seek not 
for fresher founts
 afar, 
just drop your bucket 
where you are. "

Sam Walter Foss













" I believe 
there are more urgent 
and honorable 
occupations
 than
the incomparable waste 
of time 
we call 
suffering. "

Colette













 " Where flowers bloom
 so does hope. "

Lady Bird Johnson
































 
 There I am!












 The important reflection
 to me
is the one I see
in their eyes - 
and Yours.

    I noticed a bunch of big purple blooms in our ditches around the house as I was walking around yesterday. I need to get a pic of them.

    That last comment is so true. Many don't know that we reflect their images. But we have the opportunity to reflect beauty. Your words, quotes are so inspiring to me Cloudia. Cheers!!

    P.S. That is one HOT car!

    "Chrome is where the heart is"
    LOL!

    So you liked my low, black boots? (Italian Uggs) I like to protect my feet on the scooter.

    Helmet, good footwear, gloves, jacket.....

    THANKS each of YOU

    Funky preserved hearse...actually made tough 'ol me uneasy to see you reflected "in" the hearse, but New Kitty is still keeping at least one eye out for you. Clouds and flowers are lovely. DrumMajor

    Hi Cloudia, it's been a tonic catching up on all your beautiful images and inspiring quotes. The colourful hibiscus and beautiful little birds lifted my spirits. I succumbed to the dreaded flu for the second time this year, it' so horrible makes you feel like you just want to expire (I do tend to be a touch dramatic haha!)How is the new pussy cat settling in to high rise living? Pretty snazzy 'frame' for your self portrait!

    You got a Calico kitty! My Cleo was a Calico - very vocal. Yours is adorable.

    Love that self-portrait!

    I like all your quotes and I like your comment about Israel! I agree with you! I was in Israel in March this year and felt safe and relaxed. I even think that Israel is the safest place in the middle east. In my next post I am writing about the prophet Elija. A man of peace.
    Shalom, Cloudia!
