Accustom The Eye To Calmness

A  L  O  H  A !
"Everything has beauty, 
but not everyone sees it.” 
             Confucius










“What we do see depends 
mainly on what we look for. . .
In the same field the farmer will 
notice the crop, the geologists the 
fossils, botanists the flowers, 
artists the colouring, sportsmen 
the cover for the game. Though we 
may all look at the same things, 
it does not all follow that 
we should see them.” 
            John Lubbock








“To learn to see- to accustom 
the eye to calmness, to patience, 
and to allow things to come up to it; 
to defer judgment, and to 
acquire the habit of approaching 
and grasping an individual case 
from all sides. This is the first 
preparatory schooling. . . ” 
                      Friedrich Nietzsche

The male ducks have such beautiful colours, their females are only brown, it is not fair...

I am a beauty addict. And fortunately I DO find it everywhere. Love the Pixie photo.

One sees and interprets according to one's perception of what one sees. Very true Cloudia!

The second quote is so very true, I often see things in a different way to those close to me 😉 Pixie has the perfect spot to critter watch behind the window!

I like that quote by Nietzsche. Pixie looks lovely, as usual.
