Share your smile with the world. It's a symbol of friendship and peace. - Christie Brinkley
Did you know? Orange tabby cats are usually male!
Our planet doesn't need more "successful people." Our planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers and lovers of all kinds. - David W. Orr
Today is a brand new day; a day to heal, a day to love, a day to forgive, a day to encourage, a day to start afresh. - Caroline Naoroji
Singing daily for at least ten minutes: reduces stress, clears sinuses, improves posture and can even help you live longer!
Dogs, for a reason that can only be described as divine, have the ability to let go of the past and live each day joyously. Change a life, foster or adopt.
Sometimes we have to lose something precious in order to gain something priceless.
The following are photos that I took myself on my walks on the island of Montreal in 2013. These 3 photos are actually of a mural I saw outside of a daycare!
On the other hand, tis is true about female cats.
ReplyDelete‘ Calico and tortoiseshell cats are overwhelmingly female. This is due to the genetics of coat color, which are linked to the sex chromosomes. While male calico and tortoiseshell cats exist, they are rare genetic anomalies. “
We've had 3 orange cats - all male!
ReplyDeleteI like that mural and also enjoyed your other photos.
Sharing our smiles with the world should be our goal at all times. As always, I love your photos, Linda. Blessings, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration and beautiful flower photos.
ReplyDeleteKookaburras are great, until the dive down and swipe the jam and cream from your Devonshire tea scone, or a sausage cooking on a barbeque. Yes, both happened to us.
ReplyDeleteSinging daily for at least ten minutes: reduces stress, clears sinuses, improves posture and can even help you live longer!
ReplyDeleteNow I have to sing more than ever!
More funnies and inspiration. I love the street sign in French. We do not have those in North Carolina. :) Thank you for always giving us an uplifting place to come.
ReplyDeleteThe murals are so bright and uplifting, so perfect for a children daycare. Good night to you. Sweet dreams 💤😴
ReplyDeleteSome really insightful quotes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post thank you for putting this all together-hugs I loved all the photos too
ReplyDeletewe are super hot and humid for another week then hopefully rain
hugs
Good evening, Linda. Another wonderful post filled with inspiration ! You have quite a talent at photography. Love seeing all of the murals, flowers and that brilliant blue sky! Wow! Enjoy your day. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThe mural is gorgeous! What are these large unusual red flowers? I love the quote about dogs living in the moment!
ReplyDeletehello, linda!
ReplyDeleteI laughed, marveled at your own photos from today and from the past! I read some good quotes.
It's wonderful to start the day like this again, so I send you my warmest greetings and wish you a happy day, hugs, Elke
The photos you took on St. Helen's Island are absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt seems cool and comfortable there.
Regards,
All memes are good, I knew about the ginger cats only being males as I used to have one once. Your photos are lovely, enjoyed looking at them.
ReplyDeleteThe Kookaburra's laugh is music to my ear though I wouldn't want to have several of them doing it at the same time.
All the videos are lovely.
It’s singing daily, for me! I love to sing! It drives my other half up the wall though! Have a happy day! Sal
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing with all these quotes you post here.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Wonderful post! Thank you Linda. Aloha
ReplyDeleteI like the trees and clouds reflection photo. I rarely sing loud, no one needs to hear that screeching.
ReplyDeleteI had heard that about orange tabby cats before. All your pictures are wonderful and those flowers are so pretty
ReplyDeletei do love photos of water and reflections!
ReplyDeleteWell my ginger tabby is also a very cheeky boy🐈 as well as extremely gorgeous 😺
ReplyDeleteLove the photos you have been out taking Linda.
Reminds me of my encounters with Kookaburras in Australia. Fond memories indeed.
ReplyDeleteSempre lindas tuas escolhas e adoro ver tuas fotos! Muito lindas! beijos, tudo de bom,chica
ReplyDeleteNice quotes only one wouldn't fit for me ! If I sing daily for at least ten minutes: increases stress, congest sinuses, worsen posture and can even help you to live shorter ! I make the same sounds as a cat when somebody steps on her tail !
ReplyDeleteI love Kookaburras ! I learned to know them through blogging ! I have a blogfriend in Australia who complained about this bird because they woke her up too early in the morning. As I didn't know the bird, she sent me a video, then I could understand her ! But still I prefer to wake up with laughter then with the awful noise of crows from the we have a lot here in the park.
ReplyDeleteYou took great photographs. St. Helen's Island looks like a beautiful spot. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteYour memes and photos are lovely. I once had a ginger cat, and he was a male :)
Haha that cashier is not going to make employee of the month :D
ReplyDeletePretty red "paper" flowers! My mom used to grow them!
Some people are a lesson, but these lessons should be avoided :D
Have a great weekend!
Beautiful images and lovely quotes too!
ReplyDeleteI love these motivational quotes and photos. Not a fan of frogs though. Lol!
ReplyDeleteLinda - bless you for sharing such wonderful, inspiring quotes. I especially adore the one regarding pets. Just for laughs always makes me smile. I hope you are having a very lovely day. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Great quotes. Madeline
ReplyDeleteI think Christie Brinkley has the right idea! And it doesn ‘t cost a penny!
ReplyDelete"Sometimes we have to lose something precious to gain something priceless."
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and wise quote—just like everything you post. I really enjoy the murals you share; I love street art, and these are truly stunning, just like the flowers, sky, and water in your photos.
By the way, according to the Chinese horoscope, I was born in the Year of the Cat, and I absolutely love animals. I have three cats—two black ones (a male and a female) and one ginger tabby, a male, of course, who is exceptionally smart and affectionate.
Very heartwarming quotes. And lovely photos. :)
ReplyDeleteTudo bem bonito.
ReplyDeleteBeijinhos.
Since my Mom disliked cats I had a mouse. She was cute and clever and for a mouse got real old.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was home she roamed around in my room and on me, telling me stories, knowing what my ears are.
I was 14 when she passed. Still a sad thought.
And yes: Smile!!
I have to say no. If I sang for ten minutes each day (or ever) our neighbors´d complain! ;-)
Cute mural! And such a beautiful lake.
I wasn´t around in '67 but Hanover had Expo 2000 - I went with my Mom on a scooter each (no e-scooter, of course).
The cloud shot on water is very, very well captured, too.
I have three Kookaburras right here (painting by Wendy Binks, a wedding-pressie), and in our Caravan Park in Madeley/Perth they say good night in the evenings, too.
Oh, I love frogs, too, thank you for this post, Linda!
Because I love pets, I really enjoyed all the animal graphics. All the other were great too. ☺♥
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog. I love yours do much! Gonna follow it for sure! We 've got lots in common so I Hope we'll become blogger friends. Wish you all the best! xx
ReplyDeleteyou found some very inspiration quotes, i enjoyed them all!! shine on was my favorite!! your pictures are so pretty, you have a nice creative eye in finding the beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOi! Elogiando novamente teu post, destacando que realmente o mundo precisa de mais pacificadores, pessoas que incentivam os outros e querem o bem de todos, porque pra derrubar já tem muitos, pra fazer guerra já tem muitos. Um abraço!
ReplyDeleteI like the best quotation about meeting people.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week
No, Linda, I didn't forget you. Very happy that you are back. Join the 'bloggers'club!
ReplyDeleteMy English is not better, but I try... I know, with you I can make mistakes. Thanks for that.
Lie(f)s.
Hi dear friend, thank you so much! It took me a few months to find you again, but I am glad I did. So nice to reconnect with you.
DeleteWonderful inspiring post and quotes. It is a brand new day.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely, pretty skies, flowers and water views.
Take care, have a great day!
Marvelous creatures in your pictures. I also like Karen Salmansohn's quote.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Linda.
Lovely images and great quotes, thank you, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI was in Montreal for Expo '67!
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful collection. I really love that you have so many delightful cat memes! (Especially the orange ones -- they remind me of Gypsy.)
ReplyDeleteThe animal love quote is so true. I lost my heart to my pet, but my soul will remain connected always. All inspiring. Great flower captures as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice mural and your photographs are too, love the skies and reflections.
ReplyDeleteHappy end of the week wishes ... don't they fly by!
All the best Jan
Wise words of wisdom in the quotes.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful. I like the reflection in the water.
Hello Linda. The last post I read was July 7. I have you bookmarked so every couple of days I check to see if you have posted again, especially on a Thursday. Finally this morning I looked at at your Blog Archive and 4 new posts appeared. A most enjoyable time has been spent catching up. Very interesting to see the kookaburra video. Hopefully I will not get behind again.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting my blog....You have a delightful blog. I've been away from my blog due to so many family events in July, but hopfully will be back blogging soon.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are always so amazing! The memes are cute, but I really enjoyed the videos...especially the one of the laughing Kookaburra!
ReplyDeleteWonderful and inspirational quotes. Beautiful pictures lovely scenes. I hope you are staying cool. Missy. Thisnthat
ReplyDeleteThose are all so cute and I really like those painted wall murals!
ReplyDeleteCom certeza, quem ama os gatos são pessoas mais felizes.
ReplyDeleteSPOILER ALERT! 😺
