Clock & Calendars

 A  L  O  H  A

What is possible?
The practical,
simple and kind.
We work, love and help
others as best we can,
gawk at nature, rest.
Is that it?
Pretty much...age teaches us
that kind, simple and practical
are enough, even in the
face of the worst. Anne Lamott



Two duties belong
to our souls.
One is to
reverently marvel.
The other is
humbly to endure...
Julian of Norwich



Sky Lupine
(Lupinus nanus)
a popular wildflower.
Shot in California






Carry so much love
in your heart
that there's no room
left for hatred.

We must not allow the
clock and the calendar to
blind us to the fact that
each moment of life is
a miracle and mystery.

That is very true

The magic hour moment is priceless

That last shot is gorgeous (so is Pixie). Thanks for your words of wisdom, too.

Your first sunset is breathing a sneaky sigh as it retires for the evening. And you snuck a blue California flower in there! Your second sunset is beautiful with those ocean waves. Pixie is giving good advice! Linda in Kansas

Your photos are always amazing, Cloudia, but I love the last one with the ocean so much. Let's savor every moment we have with appreciation and humility.

Love your sky images Cloudia,
Pixie is as always adorable.
Great quotes and photos. More love, less hate.
Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.

Loved all your photos today! especially the one of an elder looking over the shoulder of the young woman…who is totally oblivious. Such is life!

Tom said...

...all that I know is that time flies by too quickly!

Thank you.

I love the pic of the 2 women, Cloudia. ;-)

James said...

I like the street photo. It allows us to make up a story to go with it.

Love that purple guitar. Must be an interesting story to go along with it!

Anvilcloud said...

The California lupin is quite remarkable -- related to ones I have seen but different too.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

Reverently marvel and humbly endure -- that's about the size of things, yes.

Christine said...

Lovely photos

Pixie has decided to fit a nap into her schedule.

Replying to your comment over on my blog. Condolences on the loss of your mother. I'm so sorry you have so much to deal with these days. Loss of a mother is especially difficult, I have found.

I love the positivity in your posts. Shalom!

Hot sky.

Oh Cloudia, that first photo is breathtaking. It's so wonderful that you share nothing but love and positive energy. Thank you so much for sharing with FFO and you and Pixie have a great weekend.
