A L O H A From Honolulu!
Morning Moon |
Grief is the price
we pay for love.
Queen Elizabeth II
Pixie and I were taking in the pinkness
of the morning and her moon
when a screeching cloud of
ring-neck parakeets flew by.
Their long parrot tails, and
blur of wings, created
this photo.
Spotted 20 minutes later; Yes! That Was Us! |
Let your heart soar
as high as it will.

It gives us a feeling of importance
to be busy and concerned
about many things, but
really it is a dereliction of our
higher duties to live that way.
Pixie & Penguins
Once a penguin finds
its perfect other penguin,
they stay together
pretty much forever.

DRINK ME |
This is such a cool post. I think we need an updated saying: "once in a blue bottle under a pink moon..." That bottle looks completely empty. I bet Pixie drank the contents while you were setting up the shot. Is that why our lovely kitty looks like she's about to burp (delicately with fish breath, of course)?
ReplyDeleteI thought that flock of parakeets flying were a flock of drones from a Hawaiian military base; maybe they are secret weapons that escaped their top secret folders...
We live in a wonderful world. Thanks for spreading joy, peace, kindness, and love. Give Pixie a kiss on the nose from me after the odor of her fishy burp has dissipated.
Queen Elizabeth was right. It is a high price, but worth paying.
ReplyDeleteYou friends are real gifts and we love you both ❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteTeresa beat me to it. I thought the parrots were drones. Are you SURE they were parrots? Or maybe parrot-looking drones.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteLove the parakeet photos, they are pretty birds.
The pink sky is beautiful.
Take care, enjoy your day! Have a happy new week!
Love the shot with the parakeets, Cloudia.
ReplyDeletePixie looks quite cross.
ReplyDeleteI know Mike, birds aren't real. Remember that?
ReplyDeleteAlways so lovely to see you. Pat and Eileen. Hey William, she just looks that way. She's actually very sweet. You might say she's a bit of a scoundrel 😎
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting this week at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2022/09/probably-coolest-carousel-ever.html

ReplyDeleteI forgot all about birds aren't real. Now I'm scared!

They do look like aliens, your flock!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
That must have been an amazing sight to see the ring-neck parakeets fly by. Gorgeous photos and a quote by our dear Queen Elizabeth. Sweet! Thank you Cloudia, your photos and words are always a treat.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing shot of those parakeets. Almost surreal.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote by Queen Elizabeth. She may have been small in stature, but she was big in words about grief and love.
Pixie as always looks amazing. Did she have something to do with that blue bottle being empty? Thanks for sharing tour incredible photos and quotes with us, along with that blue bottle for T this week, dear Cloudia.
Love the saying by Queen Elizabeth - it is soooo true. All lovely photos and sayings. Pixie looks wise which obviously she is. Happy T-day. Hugz
