Instead Of A Gem

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Smiling makes you beautiful
if you are beautiful,
it, makes you brilliant.
Ehsan Sehgal





When an elevator brings u upstairs,
you better send it back down
in order to bring others up!
Dikembe Mutombo



Moon! Moon! I am prone before you. Pity me, and
drench me in loneliness. Amy Lowell



Red Crested Cardinal

If, instead of a gem,
or even a flower, we should cast the gift
of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving
as the angels give George MacDonald




I think it’s in my basement…
let me go upstairs
and check.
M. C. Escher


ᐫᐫᐫᐫᐫᐫᐫᐭ
Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

My daughter was a fan of Escher at one time so that quote made sense to me. LOL
I love the idea of the elevator. So true.
Have a peaceful, wonderful weekend, Cloudia.

Love the Escher quote. I do smile but am not beautiful.

I love that Escher quote too. Sending you smiles and good thoughts.

Pixie is waiting for the elevator to take her to those golf carts, so she can go zooming around chasing cardinals and the moon. Cool set of pics and quotes today!

Fundy Blue said...

I've enjoyed all your recent photos and quotes, Cloudia! I especially enjoyed the beautiful skies you capture. Aloha!

Cloudia said...

The elephant's child that I know sheds a lot of beauty in my heart. I love you folks and appreciate your visiting so much. Pixie too!

Useful tip regarding elevators. The Red-crested cardinal is a beauty.

I can't tell if that's a moon reflection or a through the window moon.
