One of the gargoyles at the top of Notre Dame. You can see Sacre Coeur in the distance. Paris, France
Slow down, take a deep breath and just contemplate the beauty of big white clouds hanging over the sea. This view gives me a great sense of peace.

The view's not so bad from there, but you can do it from any position. The formalities aren't all so necessary.
My wife loosely fenced off a part of our back yard to allow fresh grass seed to take good root before being trampled by the dogs. Pippin honored the boundary well, but then we got Aria, who has no such restraint. Here she is, considering breaching the edge. (She didn't; she is getting a little better at restraining herself, even as she more easily _could_ get in)
Samantha at Sunset ....
At the reflective hour of sunset, Samantha often ponders the 3 questions that are closest to her heart ....
1) What is the Nature of the Universe ?
2) What is Truth ?
3) How can l catch more Mice ?

Wishing you a serene and happy day :-)
“One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.”

Inspired about how often people sit on the couch (or sofa) especially during the period of lockdown. Previously it was seen as a place of comfort and rest but now it feels like a trap or prison.

A cockatoo is any of the 21 parrot species belonging to the family Cacatuidae, the only family in the superfamily Cacatuoidea. Along with the Psittacoidea (true parrots) and the Strigopoidea (large New Zealand parrots), they make up the order Psittaciformes. The family has a mainly Australasian distribution, ranging from the Philippines and the eastern Indonesian islands of Wallacea to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Australia. Cockatoos are recognisable by the prominent crests and curved bills. Their plumage is generally less colourful than that of other parrots, being mainly white, grey or black and often with coloured features in the crest, cheeks or tail. On average they are larger than other parrots; however, the cockatiel, the smallest cockatoo species, is a small bird. Cockatoos prefer to eat seeds, tubers, corms, fruit, flowers and insects. They often feed in large flocks, particularly when ground-feeding. Cockatoos are monogamous and nest in tree hollows. Some cockatoo species have been adversely affected by habitat loss, particularly from a shortage of suitable nesting hollows after large mature trees are cleared; conversely, some species have adapted well to human changes and are considered agricultural pests. 3261
I caught this shot of our dog Bella today while she was lounging in the park.
WIT: Simply adjusted my position to get Bella framed by the arm of the bench. I adjusted the contrast a bit and added a slight vignette.

Big surf this morning at South Avalon. This surfer was heading in and just had to wait for the sets to end. Glad he stayed still for me.
