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

    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

    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.
