Mere color, unspoiled by meaning,
and unallied with definite form,
can speak to the soul in a
thousand different ways.

"The ʻAhu ʻula (feather cloak in the Hawaiian language), and the mahiole (feather helmet) were symbols of the highest rank of the chiefly aliʻi class of ancient Hawaii. The feathered cloaks and capes were believed to provide spiritual protection for Hawaiian chiefs." Link

Gardens are not made by
singing 'Oh, how beautiful,'
and sitting in the shade.

Never have a companion
that casts you in the shade.

When I am content, I want
to lie forever in the shade, till I
become a shade myself.

Beautiful photographs and beautiful words. That cat is adorable.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. ♥
Hello sweet Pixie!
I believe that Pixie is commanding her adoring fans to rub her belly. Can she sense virtual belly rubs? I scratched her tummy on my computer screen... Hopefully, she started purring.
Stunning mural and quotes.
I would very happily give the lovely Pixie a belly rub. It is a bit like Russian Roulette where Jazz is concerned. Sometimes he loves it, and other days the pointy bits latch onto my arm.
Will Pixie lay still long enough to tolerate a belly rub?
That was interesting information regarding the feather cloak.
Interesting info about the feather cloaks.
Love the bird in the shade under the car and give Pixie some belly rubs for me.
Thanks for participating Cloudia.
You may rub my belly three times. Four times and I go to town on your hand.
STILL playing catch-up, Cloudia. I came to see the incredible mural that was SO native Hawaiian, and stayed to see the other beautiful art and quotes. Pixie is such an adorable beauty.
I didn't know about the feather cape and helmet. So neat!
Definitely give your cat a belly rub for me!
With Love,
Mandy
Great photos here!
Thanks so much for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2020/07/jazzy.html
I love those feather cloaks -- the few surviving examples are in museums in the most unexpected places. For example, the British Museum.
