Friends and Wine

 A L O H A  From

To love and to be loved
is to feel the sunshine 
from both sides
David Viscott







Dancing Lady Orchid


A flower cannot 
blossom without sunshine,
a person cannot 
live without love.
Max Muller

Let us be grateful to 
people who make us happy,
they are the charming gardeners
who make our souls blossom.
Marcel Proust







What though youth 
gave love and roses, 
Age still leaves us 
friends and wine.
 Thomas More

I love that first shot of the sunshine from both sides! Pixie says, "Catnip, please. I don't want any wine..."

The quotes remind us that the true treasures of life are the friendships and shared joys that keep our hearts in full bloom, no matter the season

All beautiful photos, and words. I've decided to not dwell on aging today...I've just had it with considering it's benefits and faults. Just going to skip it completely.

...I like "Here Comes the Sun," but I'd love here comes the rain.

The photo bombing birds were looking for a handout from that guy. They felt safe enough to approach him, and probably were. You have another great sunset.

The orchid is beautiful, such amazing flowers, each unique.
