Local Boy Proud

ALOHA!






"All colors are the friends of their neighbors
 and the lovers of their opposites."
 
Marc Chagall 








"Colors are the smiles of nature."
 
Leigh Hunt









'Love is what makes you smile
 when you're tired.'

Hawaii is a small fleet of islands.

We are further from land than any other archipelago.

Yet, out of this tiny place,
 with our small population,
we have given the world our current US President,
and this fellow
 who used to perform as a boy
for the visitors
 here in Waikiki.

 Well he's all grown up and moving the world
with his songs. 

Bruno Mars!

From where I come from it is said that the mouth of a child speaks only the truth.
(Kindermund tut Wahrheit kund.)
Please have you all a wonderful weekend.

Lovely photos and quotes and a very creative video. What am I listening to, you ask? Devotchka - "How it Ends" and "Til the End of Time."

What amazes me is that my 4 year old granddaughter sings along with his video. I'm so behind times that I only heard him for the first time a couple of days ago.

Even brief but beautiful virtual stop-over in Hawaii is good for the soul. Thank you for giving us the two men you speak of. I enjoyed the video--lovely voice on that young man, and a very enjoyable 55.

Beautiful Photos!

If we could see through smog in Los Angeles I'll bet
there's a beautiful sunset out there somewhere :-)

Cloudia, everytime I visit your blog, I am more and more enthusiastic about taking a vacation in Hawaii... ooohhh...can't wait!!!! :))

the walking man said...

Well he doesn't sing like Janis Joplin but he didn't break out my eardrums or make me pull my hair out. But then we do need another pop star. Why not Hawaii turn eh?

Laura said...

beautiful Cloudia! I love the quotes you've attributed to each lovely color laden image. Bright blessings to you today:)
