Love your photos. There is something about the juxtaposition of sky and water which is always soothing. The quotes are special too - thank you.

Never thought of dinosaurs in Hawaii. Your seemingly never ending sunshine is enviable.

The first quote will follow, and hopefully change, me. Thank you. Honestly.

Please have a good Thursday you all.

I like those palm trees in the blue sky!

I should like to have a coconuttree in my backyard. A year we brought back a big coconut from Martinique Island but the tree did never grow up.
My bananatrees are growing-up.
A year when my both boys were young we went and visit the prehistoric story museum in Paris.
ALOHA, Cloudia !

Funny how human nature never changes. I know someone who was 100% against government health care until he got himslef in a strange and stupid situation.

Long story short this fellow had a loaded shotgun in his truck which went off almost blowing the lower third of one leg off. No healthcare insurance but Medicaid kicked in, his status had him kicked around to a bunch of different doctors and being treated like the proverbial step-child. His mistreatment, as compared to those with health insurance and money, changed his mind about socialistic medicine.

So yes, the view a person takes of something has a lot to how they react.

'Leave a silly comment'...

I find it hard to be silly when I try, especially when I've been eating lots of sprout souffle. I'll try and think of something while we're all playing 'hunt the toothbrush' in the forest.

Are the dinos eating all the papayas in town? DrumMajor

Cloudia said...
