Come In

A  L  O  H  A !

“My heart is warm with the friends I make,
And better friends I'll not be knowing,
Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,
No matter where it's going.”

"The bird swam swiftly 
and gracefully toward 
the Magic Isle, and as it drew nearer 
its gorgeously colored plumage 
astonished them. The feathers were 
of many hues of glistening greens
 and blues and purples,
 and it had a yellow head 
with a red plume, and
 pink, white and violet 
in its tail.” 
                  L. Frank Baum, 
                       The Magic of Oz














IN  Please!
"Forgiveness is the 

final form of love."

It's astounding how colourful some types of ducks are, almost unbelievable! Aww let that Pixie puss in Cloudia :)

EG CameraGirl said...

Poor kitty. Pixie had to wait for you to click the shutter before you would let her in. :))

Pixie looks perfectly charming!

Teresa said...

I love today's quotes, and the pictures are wonderful. Pixie doesn't look too forgiving in the picture. Did she forgive you after she got inside?

Bob Bushell said...

Well done Cloudia for all the pics, they are priceless.

William Kendall said...

How fun Cloudia, a sweet cartoon photo of Miss Pixie, it's purr-fect! Quotes wise and your bouquet of colors in your first photo must be from a land where dreams are born.

And has Pixie forgiven you?

Some of Baum's better writing. He wasn't bad at description but he sure couldn't write action. At least in my opinion.

RedPat said...

Pixie doesn't look too happy!

TexWisGirl said...

pixie child! :) love the colors in the first shot.

Cloudia said...

NO Pixie Cats were Harmed in the making of this post!

It was a cold night, she demanded to go out, then in the manner of all cats, turned around and gave me that suffering look. I hope you agree that it was worth an extra moment's posing for our girl

Ida said...

The colors of the trees beyond that fence were stunning.
I enjoy how you match pictures to quotes.
Loving the cat one.

Lea said...

Our cat plays the 'I want to go out, I want to come in' game, too!
Thankfully after a couple of ins and outs, it is nap time!

This is such a beautiful post, Cloudia. I love all your artistic photos. I hope you're enjoying Marin.
