Looking for peace is like
looking for a turtle with
a mustache: You won’t
be able to find it. But
when your heart is ready,
peace will come
looking for you.

A group of finches is

Happiness shared is the flower.

You can't know how powerful
surrender is until you
allow yourself to take
the leap of faith.
Somehow, the universe
seems to take care of
a surrendered heart.

Perhaps I am a jungle person (here in suburbia).
ReplyDeleteJava finch looks exquisite!
ReplyDeletePixie wants the gecko and the triple-named bird to immediately surrender to her regal feline superiority. That will make her feel peaceful and happy. Gorgeous shots and profound quotes today.
ReplyDeleteThat is one intense "jungle cat." Super photos today. Had to laugh at the idea of a turtle with a mustache. Enjoyed learning about the charm of finches.
ReplyDeleteHello, Cloudia
ReplyDeleteI guess Pixie does not mind you sharing your blog with another cute kittie.
Love the Java Finch, the cute gecko and the turtles.
Wonderful critter photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
The turtles look like the little ones that they used to sell in dime stores when I was a child. You could buy the tiny turtle, the bowl, and a little box of food and have a pet.
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
The Java Finch is very pretty. The turtles are nice to see, I remember having them as a kid and would watch them for hours. Thank you for the memory and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove that creature peering out of the jungle. Great post with lots of cool critters.
ReplyDeleteExcept in Ukraine. No surrender in Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteWhat unique wildlife you have there! I especially like that Java Finch.
ReplyDeleteYou really do have some neat 'critters'! Love your new banner too.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos make me happy!
ReplyDeletePixie wonders who that other cat is.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's great to find another Pixie (✿◡‿◡) Lovely post! Thanks for the inspiration. All the best to warm breezes..you won't find that many here in the heartland just yet.
ReplyDeleteThis new cat doesn't look too friendly! lol
ReplyDeleteI love that Java Finch.
ReplyDeleteHello Cloudia :=)
ReplyDeleteThe Java Finch is a beauty, and I didn't know that a group of Finches is called a charm,...how charming! The Turtle with a mustache quote made me smile. Great critter post, I love the photo of the Gecko on the fabulous Yellow Heliconia.The grey cat is waiting to pounce on a bird or a mouse and Pixi's intense look is fixed on something, perhaps the other cat!
All the best.
My bird of paradise stopped blooming...I think it has to be thinned out? Dunno for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove the finch (no matter what name you use).
For taking time to share this post with us at IRBB, I want to thank you.
Oh my that cat face! Reminds me of some folks during this last snowstorm! Lovely captures, I can feel the warmth all the way over here! Aloha and hugs to you and Pixie too!
