What is a cinquain?

Golden Brodie barks “Sea Otter Awareness Week”

I know, I know…I’m a golden retriever and I’m suppose to love the water…swimming, etc. But, I don’t…it’s true and I have come to think it’s OK…I’m a landlubber. But, if I did swim… I’d sure enjoy being with the sea otters.
You otter watch these adorable creatures and the good they give us. Golden Paws Up!

This butterfly looks for sweets

Uncomplicated thoughts: Humble places

“Blessed are they that see beautiful things in humble places
Where other people see nothing…” Pissarro

Camille Pissarro (July 10, 1830 – November 13, 1903) was a French Impressionist painter. His importance resides not only in his visual contributions to Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, but also in his patriarchal standing among his colleagues, particularly Paul Cezanne and Paul Gauguin.
