Look and think before
opening the shutter.
The heart and mind are
the true lens of the camera.

There's something magical
that happens when people
eat from the same pot.
The family meal is really
the nursery of democracy.
It's where we learn to share;
it's where we learn to
argue without offending.
Michael Pollan
The passage into mystery
always refreshes.
We are lightened when our
gifts rise from pools
we cannot fathom.
Then we know
they are inexhaustible.

There's actually a book called The Only True Biography of Benjamin Franklin, By His Cat, Missy Hooper (With Hardly Any Help from Dan Greenburg). I wonder if he really had a cat. Have a great weekend, Cloudia. I'm surprised at the amount of bloggers who thought it would be a good idea to put a cat on our hot roof to scare the pigeons.
ReplyDeleteYour posts are always full of colour and life. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThis post added at least 50 years to my life! There is NO better cat than Pixie. I have to disagree with the quote under her picture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Pixie is such a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteThe leftover food on the tables are the breeding grounds for these birds
ReplyDeleteLove that study of the family meal.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks Dears
ReplyDeleteThe doves are having a great treat. Lovely sky shot!
ReplyDeletePixie looks sleepy.
ReplyDeleteVery nice quote from Yousuf Karsh. Its indeed the brain behind thats doing all the work.
ReplyDeleteYour doves are lovely. But that Franklin quote? Booo. I have the best cat. Sort of. She's a tad grumpy.
ReplyDeleteThose birds are having a family treat. I think in the old days with film cameras more thought went into shots than many times happens these days.
ReplyDelete"Look and think"
ReplyDeleteWould have saved me a lot of embarrassment over the years.
Pixie steals the show again this week! She is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely words and photos, Cloudia, but as always Pixie is my favorite. I love a Calico Cat.
ReplyDeleteLove the tropical surroundings here! That lone hibiscus petal is a work of art.

ReplyDeleteSuch a sunny colourful post, and I love the quote about eating out of the same pot. The Hibiscus flower is lovely, and so is Pixie of course.
LOVE the mural. I can feel the energy that the artist was trying to convey. And I can imagine hearing the music, too.
