Items on today's JOY list

water splashing in fountains

sunflower bundles in metal pails

when the Muse comes to visit

and I soak up Kuan Yin energy

sunny days (even if there's a layer of fog)

fluffy cats with long whiskers

carousel horses

going to the Pike Place Market

a little dose of bagpipes

(I do have a drop of two of Scottish blood)

but please. . . no haggis!

What gives you JOY?

To play along and share the joy:

1. do a post that tells and shows us

what gives you joy.

2. capture the URL of the specific post

and paste it into the Mr. Linky box along with your name.

3. visit other players -- as many as possible --

and let their joy infect you.

Leave them a comment about their post.

Let's start an epidemic of joy!

For some reason, Mr. Linky isn't posting the links if no thumbnail image was posted, so be sure to visit

Sorry I posted my name twice Meri. The first time I didn't put the right url for my blog post. I love your images. My mother's favorite flowers were sunflowers. I always see them as such a happy flower and I also associate them with Van Gogh's paintings. Your Kuan Yin images have been a great inspiration to me ever since I have known you. She is after all the Asian Madonna in so many ways, but her presence is so soothing. I adore fluffy cats because I have one and who doesn't love a carousel horse and shopping! Bagpipes...well... not so sure about that, but I suppose on a good day.
Great post Meri! O stylish one!
xo,
Noelle

I went on a carousel recently. . . i was to big for the horse. It was one of those two level carousels. . .and us being, well, us decided to go on the top floor. All the horses up there were small and awkward to get onto. Despite this, it was fun. I want to go on it again! :)
