My Ubiquitous Ménagerie

2008.12.01
A cat is a lion in a jungle of small bushes. ~Indian Proverb

This cat roamed the perimeter of a bakery. She stared at the sweet you carried—not begging, simply requesting a share.

“I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.”

Edgar Allan Poe

“Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat.”

Robert A. Heinlein

“Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg.”

—Hans Christian Andersen

The seal comes ashore to find a peaceful place to rest—or perhaps to get warm. Perhaps the lone seal is a pup left by its mother while she is off hunting. If you get too close to the pup the mother will not return for the pup until you leave.

"Report a seal stranding if you feel the animal is in need or danger. Note the seal's condition, location and tide."

We reported this seal —as in distress.

Animals can communicate quite well. And they do. And generally speaking, they are ignored.

~Alice Walker

bigjonny Whoever put the egg like rocks under the swan sculpture had a whimsical eye.
Poor seal, does not look good.
The quote by A.W. is so true. Thanks for sharing, Jon

NellyBly Good set. The quote from Robert Heinlein must have come from "The Cat Who Walked Through Walls". Very good quotes.

camilleauteuil these photos are beautiful, and inventive : is it necessary to say it to you again and again ? ... -
maybe people who know how to speak to the animals will save one day the planet ... ?
