J...Barry - yes, very true. Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Jacky - I don't know what I'd do without mists... I get carried away, they so transform the landscape, filling the space and bringing such mystery. <br /><br />Yvette -I've been to your world quite a bit, I love your work. Glad to share some with you here. <br /><br />Gwen - Pasha is surely one of a kind... more so than other kitties that have lived with me, though they've all had their ways. Glad you enjoyed the paintings and the table.... !<br /><br />Cozy Knitting - Oh DO take up watercolors again! <br /><br />Clare - Never had THAT response before, but, why not? <br /><br />Nikiah - thanks, and thanks!<br /><br />Uschi - Thanks for the enthusiasm!<br /><br />Ruthie - Oh, glad the ravens didn't eat the crumbs along the way before you got to the trail's end. Its a long journey from either Australia, or Dartmoor, whichever way you came, who knows what wood you might have been stranded in if they had! <br /><br />jude - absolutely, that's why I love your blog, the conversations you invite with your students and followers are rich, indeed!<br /><br />Karen - thank you, and I do hope you'll chime in, its been an inspiring feast. <br /><br />juliasews - Yes, Pasha is a Maine Coon. Pasha, like your Sugar, also took a while to mature into his full mane, etc. I guess that's also a characteristic of the breed - supposedly they mature more slowly in the first couple of years if I remember correctly. And they are surely not dogs, but have some good, spunky pup qualities! Though in his elder years, Pasha is meowing a LOT more....Valeriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621130622153365184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482310772862064470.post-66036819159540526492011-03-02T15:06:59.391-05:002011-03-02T15:06:59.391-05:00This is a specific comment about your cat, Pasha. ...This is a specific comment about your cat, Pasha. I believe he is a Maine Coon. I also have a cat, Sugar, that looks a lot like your guy. We did not know what breed he was til he was about 1 1/2 yrs old. It took that long for him to fill out and take on his Maine Coon properties clearly. This is a wonderful breed. It's like having a happy puppy for a companion, but better, because they always smell good and don't bark. In fact they hardly even meow.juliasews@comcast.nethttp://www.silkenwind.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482310772862064470.post-31652298347926894642011-03-02T10:15:42.999-05:002011-03-02T10:15:42.999-05:00Valerianna

In truth i think it shows the depth of connection that folk can discover when freely sharing experience, words & images. So very powerful. I too live in a place where connecions of this kind are few and far beetween & I will forever remember the day i first stumbled upon blogging for all that i have gained in my life, the connections, the inspiration & the friends. xRuthie Reddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09544345949078281235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482310772862064470.post-7674095311306950682011-02-28T03:08:05.664-05:002011-02-28T03:08:05.664-05:00I nod heavily to every word you've written!

I cannot believe that I described my visual trip last week in meagre words, but then I found you had painted them! It has given back to me that I, too, can try to visualize again through watercolors. My kitty loves to walk with me in the woods. His inner wild cat is released, and he becomes the mighty hunter that he is.
