I love all dots. 
I am married to many of them. 
I want all dots to be happy. 
Dots are my brothers. 
I am a dot myself. 
Sigmar Polke


I've always loved polka dots. 
Ah, oui. It is a joyful shape, 
the polka dot. It is alive. 
Agnes Varda

Polka dots are fabulous.

I had a polka dot bedspread when I was a kid. :) The Juvenile Black-crowned Night-Heron looks determined. Lovely photos and quotes, Cloudia.

I always like your photos of shorelines and beaches. That Night Heron looks very serious. Wonderful photo. Good series, Claudia.

A very determined looking heron there! And there are a lot of loud people who have very quiet minds!!

Night Heron is marching his way to an important meeting! Your beautiful wood floors are always shining. I suspect Miss Pixie glides around on them. Linda in Kansas

I love the Robert Frost quote and the gorgeous pictures. Pixie looks quite regal. She would never wear polka dots, would she?
