Familiar Glances

 A   L   O   H   A  !


The clouds, – the only birds

 that never sleep.

Victor Hugo












 Don't mek goat watchman 

fe breadfruit tree.

           Jamaican Wisdom

"Don't make a goat 
the watchman for 
a breadfruit tree."













Nature is a temple in which

 living columns sometimes 

emit confused words. 

We approach it through 

forests of symbols, which 

observe us 

with familiar glances.     

Charles Baudelaire





















"












In a forest of a hundred 

thousand trees, no two 

leaves are alike. And 

no two journeys along 

the same path are alike.     

Paulo Coelho

What a gorgeous post! I love the Jamaican proverb. So, the burning question that I now have is: Who or what is Pixie planning to hit with her ball? Will she hit the bird in the picture above her? the little wooden image in the big tree? Or, has she been hired by the goats to knock down the breadfruit for their morning snack?

Nature is indeed a temple - and one I am happy to worship in.

At first, I thought the first picture was upside down. I had to flip it in my mind. But I can flip it back too.

Pixie says that no 2 cats are alike either. One of a kind!

Last quote is a paean to individuality. Not even two leaves are alike, like people, cats, snowflakes, anything not mass produced. A pleasure to read and see your gorgeous photos
