Wild Friends

*

Wild Friends








 



come in floral varieties









 




this one is a prickly cactus
with a beautiful flower








 




that starts out
green and curled








 




and then later
collects the rain drops








 







feral cats 
once seemed to outnumber
the human population
in Hanalei









 





but this friend
with one fawn leg
one black leg
was domesticated
and in need of company








 




and this cocky fellow
had no fear of me
and walked up to my feet








 




the grass surrounding 
the local coffee shops 
and eateries
is frequented by many 
friendly families of cardinals








 
 This photo taken by Pastor Goode




and the occasional
very proud rooster






Fine wild friends 
in Hanalei

  2. Delwyn,
    I start many a day with Carl's Artistic Balance... and end many a day with a walk in Australia. I do love your eye and your writing. Thanks for visiting my blog. Been thinking of my summers at a lake in New Hampshire lately... and your previous entry tapped into that even more. Where do you find the time to create such beauty for us day after day? Enjoy your day as I go to SLEEP shortly!

  7. I love the cat, how did you manage to keep it still while you painted and dyed it in such lovely patterns?? :-)

  8. Your wild friends are very unique, Delwyn. I really liked the cat, with legs of 3 colors, makes me wonder about the fourth.

    Wild friends or tame ones, I'm sincerely thankful to be counted among them! Thank you, Delwyn!
