Sunday Song

Aloha, Friend

Welcome
to

Sunday
in Waikiki


click on the clouds for a magical ride

"I have the nerve to walk my own way,

however hard,

in my search for reality, rather than climb upon

the rattling wagon of wishful illusions."

- Letter from Zora Neale Hurston to Countee Cullen

"Great works are performed not by strength

but by perseverance."


-Samuel Johnson




"Much of the beauty of art emerges

through the struggle of the artist with his limited medium."
Henri Mattisse

And now...

A song. . .




ALOHA, cloudia

That was genuinely a soul restorative, Cloudia. Such refreshing pictures, with so many beautiful colors.

I tried to listen to the song, I did. It turns out nothing can render that song something I wish to listen to, even when the person singing it is someone I truly admire, and enjoy. So I settled for remembering him, and clicked sound off :-)

Oh what a beautiful part of the world you live in. Thank you for sending my mind there today.

Music, able to carry beyond, when words stop to work. Beautiful photography indeed, not to mention the choice of quotes, making one glad to start a new week. Wishing its beginning to be as nice for you all.

Awesome pics- pricy flower- We have a wild endangered orchid here in the woods across the road known as Lady Slippers, which cannot be transplanted, n have roots 3 feet down! They're pink n purple striped too- not as bright as that one.
The ripple-reflection of buildings pic is fantastic!
Thanks for sharing
