Christmas Tree & Palm

It's called 'fishing' not 'catching.' Why isn't it 'taxi waiting' rather than 'taxi driving?'

Street Hula!

"Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night."

- Rainer Maria Rilke

"No place is boring, if you've had a good night's sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film."

- Robert Adams

"Some people have too much uniqueness to be properly expressed by a merely pretty face."

- Anonymous

Everywhere we walk in Waikiki there are flowers, smiles, hidden patches of green, and quiet gardens to discover. Blossoms drift down on the trade wind breezes, I call it Hawaiian Snow; beguiling to the eye. Thought's train pulls once again into a beautifully peaceful station. . . The song of birds plays filigree, an arabesque, a siren's call. . . All punctuated by the normal sounds of today, rolling in from the boulevard. But look! Around this corner is a trio of living treasure; their music acoustic, burnished, simple, & true. . . . . . so linger beneath the tropical Christmas tree, as Palm looks on bemused, chuckling softly to herself, and dances . . . dances an unconscious hula of her own . . . . .
