“I think you’re a fairy tale. I think you’re magical, and brave, and exquisite. And I hope you'll let me be in your story.”

As I sit and think about the days,
I dream about a place far away.
I let the sun warm my soul
And ponder the place I'd like to go.
I let the wild winds play with my hair.
I let my spirit free to go where no one else dares.
Over the still waters of sacrifice and belief.
Over the dry lands I have recovered from any grief.
My heart is content and full;
I will allow myself to sit and tarry while these dreams I hold and continue to carry.
Sometimes, daydreaming is all a person can do when you discover something so sweet and new. Life is a fine work of art and a gift. I'll linger here a little longer and daydream.Thank you all for your continued support, kind favs, and lovely comments. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Our sunflowers have a secret life, says Linus. They leave their vase in the middle of the night and walk around the house. If they don't manage to get back into their vase in time they end up somewhere on the floor. Isn't it great if the cat of the house finds the poor sunflower and makes sure that the human puts it back into the water before it's too late ? And doesn't the cat deserve a treat for being a good friend for the sunflowers ? Two treats would be okay too. Or three ?
The human would tell a somewhat different story as you can probably imagine. This may have to do with the photo in the comments. Linus isn't as clever as he thinks he is. Or the human isn't as stupid as Linus thinks she is.
I don't think that i have ever had more birds in the garden than this year, mainly great tits, sparrows and blackbirds. The blackbirds have been rare for years and I'm happy that they are back, Tofu is even more excited than I am and spends hours watching them. They often land on the lawn to look for insects and worms and could be an easy prey for a cat. Luckily Tofu enjoys observing birds much more than chasing them.

And lamp light would lack
Diamonds and fireflies
If they couldn’t lean against Black. . . .”

I think most people see sailboats and think of a relaxing endeavour, soaking up the sunshine as the soft winds blow, the vessels like immense swans gliding along the water blissfully.
Perhaps that’s actually the case for most folks out on their boats, however, my experience with sailing was quite different. I was only ever on a sailboat a handful of times but each of those were with Barnacle Bill. Bill (his real name) was my father and he bought a sailboat shortly after I was married so sailing wasn’t something with which I grew up. That meant I hadn’t been properly trained to be a sailor and neither had Norm.
Our first time out Dad issued the rules and we were more than willing to learn and abide. Yet as the outing progressed Bill’s barking grew more and more intense.
“Don’t sit there!”
“Grab that line!”
(What line? What do you want me to do with it?)
And so it went.
There seemed to be a very real possibility that we were going to be keelhauled or, at the very least, made to walk the plank. If you ever saw the ‘Friends’ episode where Rachel was trying to teach Joey how to sail you’ll have a clear idea of what I’m trying to describe.
I do know that his high anxiety was his concern for everyone’s safety and thus was quite forgivable but truth be told ever since those experiences I have been quite content to simply get the occasional photograph of a sailboat. :-)

I think the square crop works well with the geometry here. I also have a wide version uploaded. Not sure which one I like better. This one highlights the details the Z lens is capable of picking up. Nikon Z5; Z24-120. Katsuura, Fukuoka.
