Formal Clouds

Aloha, Friend!

Welcome to Thursday in Waikiki




click on clouds to set them free
I never saw a cloud wearing a tie before.



“With an evening coat and a white tie, anybody, even a stockbroker,
can gain a reputation for being civilized”

Oscar Wilde









" You must not blame me if I talk to the clouds"
Henry David Thoreau







“Dreams are illustrations...
from the book your soul is writing about you.”

Marsha Norman





"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly,
our whole life would change."
Buddha


The House Of Clouds
by
Elizabeth Barrett Browning


I would build a cloudy House
For my thoughts to live in;
When for earth too fancy-loose
And too low for Heaven!
Hush! I talk my dream aloud---
I build it bright to see,---
I build it on the moonlit cloud,
To which I looked with thee.




Thank YOU for your visit/gift today! cloudia

    Sit and look at the pile of a carpet or the chips embedded in terrazzo and think for just a minute that all you are seeing is the tops of the heads of all of the mass of humanity then pick one specific little top out and that will be me.

    Good morning, Cloudia. No flowers here right now, but trying to find beauty in the cold.

    My thoughts are scattered and they're

    Cloudy;

    They have no borders, no boundaries..."

    Great series of intriguing photos! And some especially nice quotes, too. Oh that Buddha, he sure knew what he was talking about!
