There is one thing
the photograph
must contain,
the humanity
of the moment.

Wikipedia
Western Bluebird (Sialia mexicana) a
small North American thrush
And when he sings to you,
Though you're deep in blue,
You will see a ray of
light creep through,
Somewhere there's a
bluebird of happiness.
Life is sweet, tender
and complete,
when you
find the
bluebird of happiness.
Edward Heyman & Harry Parr Davies

I feel how much
I like this place and
could willingly waste
my time in it and feel
myself continually
coming to life.
William Shakespeare
It's always sunny
above the clouds.
Always.
Every day on earth-
every day
I have ever had-
was secretly sunny,
after all.

Beautiful bird, bloom and Pixie.
Many of my favourite photos have no humanity (or at least no humans) in them at all.
Good point. But isn't humanity in our photos even without depiction of a human in the photo? You raise. Interesting questions
Love the photos.
Inclusion of human subjects in landscape photos is only happening after emergence of social media...
Pixie looks quite comfortable.
I like to take photos of people taking photos! I'm not good with people, so I tend to isolate and take photos of critteres!
Thanks for spreading secret sunshine and the bluebird of happiness. Pixie looks happy today.
Jolly friends!
So beautiful. Love the quotes too. Pixie is a cutie pie.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to Pixie. ♥
Thank you!
Love the quotes especially the bluebird of happiness, Cloudia.
I can't get over what a striking calico Pixie is. I always love seeing her photos. As always, your photos and sayings are remarkable.

Beautiful quotes.
Awesome pics.
Loved to Pixie :)
OMGosh that Crown flower is stunning. I have never seen anything like it. Thanks for sharing it. Hope to see you tomorrow for FFO.
I love the play of light on the sleeping cat's fur.
LOVE that rainbow. Hoped the runner wasn't getting overheated. Always enjoy Pixie. Have a great TADD, dear Cloudia.
Another set of beautiful pictures and, of course, Pixie. Always enjoy visiting you :)
