If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking. - Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

PHOTO by Quang Vuong. A narrow aisle stretches deep into a monochrome labyrinth of tall bookshelves, packed tightly with aged spines and endless stories. Overhead signs mark categories—Poetry, U.S. History, Literary Bios—dangling above the quiet corridor. A lone step ladder waits mid-path, inviting the seeker upward. Fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow, yet the space feels timeless, suspended between thought and memory. The silence is thick, broken only by the imagined rustle of turning pages.

Happy Sunday! We are having rain so I slept in so here is another shot from Friday's amazing collection taken four minutes before the sun broke the horizon. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus): This 30cm (12in) long bird is a true Parrot and native to Australia. They are extremely colourful birds and also extremely noisy. They have also been illegally introduced into New Zealand. Great photo taken by Penelope P. in Australia. 🦜#lorikeet #rainbow
