taken while on another walk around the neighborhood. (click to enlarge)
Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much. Ralph Waldo Emerson

you have such an eye for a good photo…
hmmm reminds me of my missed early morning walks with my twin sister…walking for a while saying nothing..just swinging hands together…
I *sigh*
ralph was a wise man, wasn’t he.
sweet shot. looks like a painting. right place, right time and great eye. perfect combination.
i’m trying to figure out what’s behind the cat.
[besides the other cat]
looks kind of like an old trunk.
I love taking a walk – usually during the day its on a very crowded street, but it’s easily tuned out – to silence… which is very nice in a busy world.
life trapped behind the lens, behind the windowpane…
Prize-winning. This one took my breath away.
Merry Saturday.
Doesn’t it make you want to knock on the door and ask about the cats? Like their names and how many there are in there?
Lovely shot.

That’s me in my next life.
He forgot to mention the camera.
You must have a camera, too.
You’ve done it again: lovely shot and stirring quote. And I like that old trunk in the background.
oooh, kitty!
:love:
Lovely!! Colors are perfect. That cat looks very siamese..all long and such :>)
i love the subject, the cat
but there is so much more,, i love that old trunk
placed in the window…the green & the floweres..
all support it pleasantly… really makes one curious…
the quote is perfect too.. i love to just get up and wander.
ryc: there were people in the building, I’m unsure if they lived there or kept shop…it was very interesting.. I loved the place,, I’m sure I’ll have to venture back…

I have been crying all morning but this made me smile. Thank you.
that image reminds me of a song… our house is a very very very fine house,
with two cats in the yard… life used to be so hard… now everything is easy ’cause of
you. Who sang that song???
So many eye appealing objects in the shot.
Even in curiosity there is grace…magnificence…patience
i’d give my left arm for your photographic eye. why left you ask, well because i’m left handed… and it means more to me than my right ~

Gosh, I could use a good walk.

What an interesting looking cat… his head is so skinny…
Ralph really knew a thing or 2 about taking walks.
I just love your photos and look forward to seeing new ones all the time.
Had to come and subscribe to your artistic side.
Did you recognize the house in the photo?
Two years ago, when you were moving, I posted a different photo of that house and called it the Molly house. I went to an Earth Day event recently and drove by. On the way back, I stopped to take new photos. I wish that I could have gotten closer.
I love your pictures that are wonderful . Love the kitty :wave:
Of all the Emerson I’ve read I’ve never read that till now.
How nice of the elegant cat to pose! The angle with the window and flowers is just great. What an eye you have!
I hardly ever walk or hike without my camera. You look so good in that new profile pic.
I love the quote and the picture. It’s amazing what you can see if you really look.
What a cute picture, and a great quote!:goodjob:
I had a lovely walk today…Ralfh was so smart
I love this shot. Absolutely perfect!:sunny:
Ah I am so fluent in typo-ese. Ralph.
