Lucci finally let me take his photo (he definitely knows when I pick up my phone and come his way!) LOL
He is not a fan but grudgingly agreed after I showed him your cat's photo since it was a "cat thing"

Discarded plastic
flaps in the breeze,
one end stuck
in the warehouse window
just out of view-
the cat
lifts and tilts its head...

Sometimes,
the day's only light
is the sun's good morning kiss.

Wake early,
kiss back & take this warm glow with you into the grey day.

It's beautiful to be awake at night seeing the moon
in all her glory
pouring electric liquid white light
over....everything
creating shadows
flowing over the crisp snow....

The first snow of the season gently covers the backyard and woods, which nly last week were full of the last peak colors. Now...the lush, crystal quietness. The fresh scent. The sound of air barely moving, yet as musical as windchimes. The peace of a quiet protective space fills my humanity meter. Photo by LBV100 (c) ZWJH

Saffron colored fans are the backdrop for a printed request for tips and suggestions on Japanese etiquette when visiting an important Japanese persons home. If you are reading this section please reach out to anyone you know and ask them. No tip is too small or too subtle🙏 I welcome all suggestions and appreciate your time and help so I may reflect the best possible outcome for my immediate host and the grand host.

Can you read this picture???

Can anyone share what the #kanji characters are and what they mean??

I tried to use Google lens but it wouldn't #translate the characters.

It was a wedding gift to my mom & dad.

Merci🙏

I find the vivid reflections of the 2 women donned in red #kimonos on the bridge extremely lovely. In our busy lives, #reflections are subtle & easily overlooked.

May you find the hidden #beauty which exists only by being fully in the moment🙏

Reflection in the window of a Japanese tea house, showing two women on a red bridge in matching red kimonos. The tea house is seamlessly blended with its beautiful surroundings of lush green grass, contemplative ponds and beautiful lotus plants. The faces are intentionally masked by the door's frame to further intrigue the viewer and to keep the mystery of the moment. Photo by La Belle Vie 💯 (c) ZWJH

Intentionally took the photo with a skewed composition to create subtle tension... we always will have a slightly different interpretation of what we see versus someone else, even under the best circumstances🙏
