knowing are hiding
in plain sight.

Wisdom is in deed about what to overlook

Here's to true wisdom.

Pixie looks wise today, Cloudia. ;-)

Martha Jane Orlando said...

If we want to recall the magic of wonder, we need not look any farther than a child's smile.
Blessings, Cloudia!

Bob Bushell said...

Pure photographs, and the sayings Cloudia.

Bill said...

It's never too late to feel better. That is absolutely right.
Beautiful photos and quotes, Cloudia.

Thanks Dear Pals!

We are smart to overlook....sometimes it takes a lifetime to learn that! Happy weekend sweet friend!

Rostrose said...

Dear Cloudia,
interesting that the plant also has the name Coromandel - like a peninsula in New Zealand... Your collected quotes are again very wise and Pixie's posture seems so relaxed and self-confident. Cool cat!
Thanks for telling me about your 1973 BMW and the creation of the poem!
All the best and have a nice weekend, Traude

Greetings - kids playing in leaves is a simple joy for all.

Hope all is well, have been away in Canada and Cuba!

I love that sky shot and the dragonfly. You definitely pay attention to the delightful small things on your walks. Pixie is wearing an expression of NOT overlooking anything related to her catnip and tuna treats... For everything else, it's all good by her.
