This is Lucy, a little Chihuahua I met who was walking in the park with her male owner. He gave me permission to take this photo after I asked him if I could.

You posted some fun and beautiful photos. I like the cat one, too.
ReplyDeleteYOu find such lovely things. And I especially love your own photos. The flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing your own flower photos, Linda, and as always, enjoyed the videos you shared with all of us, too. I'm more appreciative of uplifting posts right now than you could ever know as Danny is in the hospital for a bad reaction to one of the medications he has been taking for his heart. Would you and your followers please pray for his healing? God bless always!
ReplyDeletelolololol. There is no food in my bowl. I LOVE it. Great shots of the flowers too. Very, very cool.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing them! Beautiful flowers.

Thank you, my day starts so well!!!
Have happy days!Hugs Elke
Benditos sean los amigos que se prolongan toda la vida.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
Your flower photos are so gorgeous, and so is the pathway of steps. My favorites tonight are the cat with the empty bowl and how it got 9 lives. Gave us both such a good laugh!!!
ReplyDeleteThe cat quote made me laugh! Oh your flower photos are gorgeous, Linda. And isn't Lucy a cutie!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful mix of wisdom, funnies and beauty- thank you, Linda (I love donkeys, too!) - to summer!
ReplyDeleteGreat midweek motivation!
ReplyDeleteHaha I loved the National geographic behind the scenes :D I am guessing it must be most of the time ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful inspirations and lovely photos!
So that's how cats get 9 lives! Mine are indecisive too :D
The national geographic meme is so funny
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy the inspiring memes. I love your pretty flowers and the cute dog Lucy. Peace and love! Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteLindos quadrinhos ,divertidos alguns ee tuas fotos são muito lindas! Adorei! beijos, chica
ReplyDeleteGood morning-Beautiful thank you
ReplyDeleteThe National Geographic meme is pretty funny. I have only ever been close to a Black Bear on one occasion. It was on a trail in Algonquin Provincial Park. Fortunately it ended well for both of us!
ReplyDeleteI do have friends, but I've never had a confident (insert French accent marks...whatever). I wonder what it is like to have a friend for life. It must come with responsibility.
ReplyDeleteThere are some luscious photos in your post.
The cat playing the song called there's no food in my bowl cracked me up.
ReplyDeletePretty flowers too.
Happy midweek posting to you.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful collection of photos and memes!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have seen a real live donkey before. The donkeys you have seen must be adorable. I love the pretty flowers in the photos you took in 2013. May I ask who is the lady in the photo with a young person feeding many geeses or are they ducks?
ReplyDeleteClair de lune and the pig! That's lovely.
ReplyDeleteHello My Dear Friend, thank you so much for this delightful post. I also enjoyed all your own photos, cute to see the lady and young man feeding the ducks, such a cute little dog, beautiful flowers and lovely scenes when out and about :) videos were great too. A lovely way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteA cat must be seen to whatever the hour.
ReplyDeleteBom dia e uma excelente quinta-feira minha querida amiga. O verdadeiro amor é sem interesse financeiro, sem um ser propriedade do outro e o principal: respeito com amor.
ReplyDeleteI really like the cat with the song. My two cats sings it every day. Beautiful flowers. The little dog was very cute.

Those are really good! Hey, our cats know that song.

ReplyDeleteSome are funny and most are thoughtful, meaningful. Your nature photos are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun!! Loved the donkey serenade!
ReplyDeleteagree with the quote: "Peace and love and prayers for our world." ...
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day
I like both your own photo end the quote. Flowers are also beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are enjoying a beautiful summer with all the lovely flowers and great walks you have been on. So many fun quotes you posted :)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all the flower photos.
ReplyDeleteI do love your floral photos, Linda! Flowers make my heart sing!
ReplyDeleteBTW, a follow up to that cat song would be, "I can see the bottom of my bowl." 😆
Thanks for the post, a really good one
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the flowers pictures
Have a nice day ♥
You have a delightful blog. I especially liked the picture of the people relaxing by the river. They seemed quite at home with the ducks.
ReplyDeleteLove all the flower photos, the sayings and the videos.
ReplyDeletePeace, Love and Prayers for all the world! Yes Yes Yes
ReplyDeleteI like the saying about the different kinds of friends. They all enter our life for a reason. Sometimes God gives us a friend for a time when we need them or they need us and we move on but have been changed by their friendship.
ReplyDeleteMy Allie knows that empty bowl song.
ReplyDeleteThe cat at heaven's gate cracked me up.
Loved the guinea pig and donkeys.
Fun post, as usual. :)
O sole mio to the donkeys is priceless. I’ve sung to cows so I can relate.
