Never Grow Old


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Anyone who keeps
the ability to see beauty
never grows old.
 Franz Kafka.






The art of progress
is to preserve order
amid change
and to preserve change
amid order.
Alfred North Whitehead





If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness. Therese of Lisieux




Happiness is an Open mind. Beware of your
stereotypes and prejudices, they can trap you in a box
and make you miss what
life has to offer you. Med Yones

A delightful Budgerigar!
These social birds are
known for their playful
nature and ability to
mimic sounds.

    I adore your bird of paradise header, kept forgetting to say so. The only critter I have difficulty with is the white cat. Just doesn't seem a cuddly as Pixie somehow, but I'm sure he's well loved by his owner, er personal servant.

    The preservation of order doesn't have a chance around my house.

    Huge flocks of budgerigars can be seen in outback Australia, their native land.

    That bird thought he saw two pushy cats.
