A cat in greenery is a harmonious combination ... however, cats are always and everywhere harmonious :)
The ancient Egyptians had a special relationship with cats: they were revered as sacred animals; mummified like humans; depicted in sculpture and frescoes. And the very first cat "portrait" was written by the Egyptians.
For a long time it was believed that the Egyptians tamed cats. However, in 2004, a burial site dating back to 9500 BC was discovered in Cyprus. e., in which a cat was found together with a man. A wild beast would hardly have been put in a grave. It turned out that cats lived with people long before they appeared in Egypt. The Middle East began to be considered the birthplace of domestic cats, and Egypt was forgotten for some time. But not for long: in 2008, a burial was opened in southern Egypt, in which six cats were found - a male, a female and four kittens. Although this burial was younger than the Cypriot one (about 6000 years), it became clear that cats were known in Egypt much earlier than was thought until recently.
It is known that the ancestor of the domestic cat was the steppe cat Felis silvestris lybica - it still lives in the steppe, desert and partly mountainous regions of Africa, Western, Central and Central Asia, in Northern India, Transcaucasia and Kazakhstan. In 2007, it was possible to establish that all modern cats descended from him.
Seafarers brought the first cats to Rus' in the pre-Christian era. Exotic animals were a valuable commodity: the cost of a cat until the 15th century was comparable to the value of a healthy arable animal - an ox.

On Love
"The demand to be safe in relationship inevitably breeds sorrow and fear. This seeking for security is inviting insecurity. Have you ever found security in any of your relationships? Have you? Most of us want the security of loving and being loved, but is there love when each one of us is seeking his own security, his own particular path? We are not loved because we don’t know how to love.
Love is something that is new, fresh, alive. It has no yesterday and no tomorrow. It is beyond the turmoil of thought. It is only the innocent mind which knows what love is, and the innocent mind can live in the world which is not innocent. To find this extraordinary thing which man has sought endlessly through sacrifice, through worship, through relationship, through sex, through every form of pleasure and pain, is only possible when thought comes to understand itself and comes naturally to an end. Then love has no opposite, then love has no conflict."
So far, my relationship with spring has been a long distance affair. Hope to get closer, next week.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and stay safe!
Day 11
Frogs are not unlike humans in that individuals have very different personalities. Some are terrified of people, screeching and diving under water at the first hint of proximity. With others, one can gradually forge a relationship of trust.
Wild frogs of the right temperament can be slowly approached by gently talking to them with a musical voice. They may not understand words but can sense intent within tonalities and over time become familiar with certain notes.
I built such a bond of trust with the tree frog in this photo during the summer of 2023. With dew lap throbbing in response to my greetings, it remained comfortable as I got very close with my camera.

How privileged I felt to be welcomed back to my favourite beach. She knew... oh she knew alright how much I loved seeing her again.. I do believe she loved seeing me too and this was her welcome to me and yes I am only a visitor but I love her so much and I miss her......
My grandad was a fireman on the trains and him and grandma spent much of their time in St Ives, maybe that how come I feel a spiritual relationship with this place...you never know ;)
I have a kind of love/hate relationship with ice plant. It has beautiful flowers and makes for cool pics.
BWTM, many, many years ago, when I was in basic training at Ft. Ord, California, we weren't allowed to leave the battalion area the first few weekends we were there unless on duty. So, one Saturday morning, the drill sergeants loaded a bunch of us into a deuce and a half, gave each of us a carpet knife and a gunny sack. They then took us out to one of the beach ranges that had lots of ice plant and told us to cut it with the knife and stick it in the bag. When all of our bags were full, we went to another range that didn't have much ice plant and they told us to plant the stuff we had just picked. "Just stick the cut end into the sand. It'll grow" they said. So, we did. Know what? They were right.
But I still hate the stuff.
It is a symbiotic relationship. The peony produces nectar from unopened buds that ants love to eat, much like Bamboo says. There are a few species of plants that produce nectar outside of their flowers to tempt ants to live nearby.

Excerpt from www.butchartgardens.com/stunning-dragon-fountain-gift-peo...:
A striking bronze dragon fountain was unveiled today at The Butchart Gardens by owner Ms. Robin Clarke and Ms. Sheng Lei, Vice Mayor, City of Suzhou.
The magnificent 2 meter high by 3 meter long bronze and granite sculpture weighing in excess of 2700 kg, is a gift from the People’s Republic of China and the City of Suzhou in conjunction with the 35th anniversary of the Sister-City relationship with the City of Victoria. Special guests in attendance at Saturday’s unveiling included Her Honour, Judith Guichon Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, Her Excellency Liu Fei, Consul General of the People’s Republic of China, Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps, the Mayor of Central Saanich Ryan Windsor, and a large delegation of government officials from the City of Suzhou.
“Consul General Madam Liu Fei and Officials from Beijing recognized the long-standing history The Butchart Gardens enjoys with Chinese people locally and within China” said Dave Cowen, General Manager. “The dragon is a universally recognized symbol of China. We are very honoured to accept this magnificent gift and to welcome the Chinese delegation, local dignitaries and special guests on this happy occasion.”
Tense relationship between this heron and this boat. The heron is sulking while the boat asks him to leave him alone "Fish moi la paix (in french)". There will probably be no fish sharing tonight!
Relation tendue entre ce héron et ce bateau. Le héron fait la tête tandis que le bateau lui demander de lui "Fish la paix". Il n'y aura probablement pas d'échange de poisson ce soir !
I seem to have a love / hate relationship with Sandsend. Whenever I'm there I seem to miss the best light and that was certainly the case for this shot. On top of that everyone seems to having building work done so finding a composition without scafolding in in it was tricky. With nothing in the way of sidelight and no colour in the sky I opted for this classic shot looking through the arch, up Sandsend Beck towards the cottages. I was hoping some cootage lights would come on the make for a more enticing blue hour shot, but it didnt happen. Work in progress so I will revisit...
Lately I read many quotes in internet. So I found one that I loved and with it I did this humble try of a b&w.
You can't give up on someone because the situation is not ideal.
Great relationships aren't great cause the don't have problems. They are great because both people care enough about the other person to find a way to make it work.

My song inspiration comes from the great Soul Musician Donny Hathaway "I love you more than you'll ever know".
Relationship with a narcissist in a nutshell: You will go from being the perfect love of their life to nothing you do is ever good enough. You will give everything and they will take it all and give you less and less in return. You will end up depleted, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and probably financially, and then get blamed for it.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

Woodland Relationship
One of those cold and frosty misty mornings in the Eden Valley. Its always nice to find a nice wee woodland that you can spend a couple of hours walking about just taking in the atmosphere of the place, and actually take the time to look for views that you think will work for a shot.

Venus and Mars are actually relatively minor factors for determining relationship compatibility, and are rarely “karmic indicators.” They’re good for determining attraction (by sign) but little else.
The Crystal Heart Event is opening soon, better get those wallets ready! <3 Thank you Runtie for taking an awesome photo with me~
