Mas no digΓ‘is que, a pesar de acatarlo,
no es hiriente para los ojos,
como para la mano esperanzada,
saber que hasta el propio hecho de amar
lleva consigo
la triste cΓ‘rcel de sus sombras.

What an idea to paint an apple
says Picasso
and Picasso eats the apple
and the apple tells him Thanks
and Picasso breaks the plate
and goes off smiling

Sarah Choate Sears' portrait of her daughter Helen, along with John Singer Sargent's painting, both from 1895.
Sargent wrote this to her:
"How can an unfortunate painter hope to rival a photograph by a mother? Absolute truth combined with absolute feeling."

A color photo of a delicate and fluffy white medium-haired cat sitting on a window ledge. They are looking at the camera. What makes this photo extra special is that the cat is backlight by the sun coming through the window, the light illuminating their fluffy hair making them appear glowing and angelic.
Luminous angel babby from my collection, ca. 1960s.
Two Mourning Doves, beige soft-looking birds with long tails and pink feet, sit on top of a shepherd's hook bird feeder that is decorated with a metal bird. The doves are sitting so close to each other they are touching, which is super cute and why I took a feeder picture in some random neighbor's yard.
The bird photos will continue until morale improves
