Color and Cheek

Aloha
it's
Saturday in
Waikiki.

Welcome Friend



click the photos,
and click your heels together while repeating:
"There's no place like the blogosphere."
At the end of the rainbow. . .



"Mere color, unspoiled by meaning,
and unallied with definite form,
can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways."
Oscar Wilde



colorful creatures celebrate the simple fact of life. . .


"Of all God's gifts to the sighted man,
color is holiest,
the most divine,
the most solemn."
Ruskin




One week ago today.


"I'm not funny.
What I am is brave."
Lucille Ball


Thank YOU for visiting today;

ALOHA, cloudia

    Most people seem to look for the end of the rainbow, I want to see the spot where it starts.

    A small blessing that it was to arrive at 11 a.m. and not 2 a.m. and a great blessing that it wasn't a terrible tragedy of water. Happy you are now seeing rainbows.

    Thank you for this amazing photography of yours, years since last i saw a rainbow with me own eyes.

    If one is high enough, without a horizon at all, it might even be possible to see it as a closed ring, until that will be possible for me, it's nice to come into this spiral of colourful joy.
    A wonderful Sunday for you.

    I was so worried last week...and am so glad it ended up being a non-event (well, in Hawaii, anyway.)

    Your lens on the world continues to inspire. The reflective water shot is unbelievably perfect.
