Wallflower
You think I cannot see you behind your curtain blind,
hiding in the shadows. You are the cautious kind.
You drape yourself in darkness, thinking I will not see,
but still the colors of your soul come shining out at me.
Step forward to the lightness. There is no danger here.
There is at least one person who bids you to come near.
Whether bad or good will come from joining life’s mad dance,
you will never know until you choose to take the chance.
The three words for the Three Things Challenge #444this week are: CURTAIN DRAPE BLIND

Marilyn and I were discussing cat paws and I promised to post my favorite paw photos!
Yesterday I bought 96 pouches of cat food in 4 different flavors. I then sorted them into boxes so the kitties would have a different meal every meal for 2 days. But, guess what the very last pouch I pulled out of the bag looked like?
It was totally empty. All sealed up like the others, but totally empty. Wonder how often this happens? I threw away the receipt so sure Walmart won’t trade it for a full one so guess I’ll just keep it as a souvenir.
Remember my post about the hungry nest of just-hatched swallows in my neighbors’ garage? HERE is a link to it if you didn’t see it. Well, above are four current photos of the hatchlings, who have now flown the nest. Photos taken on their terrace by my neighbor David Bershad.
Here are the same birdies before in a photo taken by me in their garage:
After the Earthquake: Still Life with Cat
Kukla and Ollie’s usual resting place on the garage counter has been taken over by Jesus and Eduardo who are repainting the murals on my rebuilt walls. As usual, this cat knows the perfect pose for every situation and scene.
I don’t know how this shot came about. I used no editing or tricks, but of the thousands of road shots I sifted through to find a photo for Cee’s reinaugural Which Way challenge, this was the most intriguing. A very good depiction of too many days on the road! Even my camera seems to have been confused. Welcome back, Cee.
