Dare to indulge Your Delight

A L O H A From Honolulu!


The red-crested cardinal is a songbird,
the species belonging to the family of tanagers. Notwithstanding its similar name, this bird is not closely related to the true cardinal family. It is sometimes known as the Argentine cardinal. Wikipedia











If we look at the world
with a love of life,
the world will reveal
its beauty to us.
    Daisaku Ikeda 






Grace is the face
that love wears
when it meets
imperfection. 
             Joseph R. Cooke 










Compassion will cure
more sins than
condemnation.
 Henry Ward Beecher





Shadows of fear intrude
when we step out of the light.

Light feels so good,
feels so right.
It's not a struggle;
Just a snuggle.

Dare to indulge
Your Delight! 


Love You,
 Pixie & Cloudia

    The Red-crested cardinal is beautiful. My favorite this week is the lady with dog photo, great composition! Beautiful quote to match too.

    I love cardinals, but have never heard of a red crested cardinal. It's so different from the ones I'm familiar with.

    Your mural you shared is fabulous, Cloudia. It's beautiful.

    Pixie looked extra perky in this photo. It's one of my favorites of her.
