Just like clockwork
warm weather has arrived
in Hawaii.
All Summer long
we are cooler,
and breezier,
than most places.
But September,
and especially October,
are our 'hot' months.
The Trade Winds
-our natural air conditioner-
look to be "off"
the rest of the week.
So during the day,
the land heats up in sun,
the air over the interior
expands and rises,
drawing winds from the sea:
'sea breeze'
Then at night,
the land cools,
the air above it contracts
and sinks,
and sinks,
then this interior air
blows to the coast:
'land breeze.'
Nice to smell the mountains
and forests of the interior
in the evening!

and forests of the interior

Northern climes
are notoriously
BEAUTIFUL
in Autumn,
especially October.
You Southerners
are enjoying
SPRING!
Ah!
That is my dream vacation:
New York, New England
in October!
Maybe next year. . .
But when the cold winds blow elsewhere,
our weather reverts
to the best on the planet!
That's when our snowbirds
arrive.
So I'll see you here
after US Thanksgiving holiday
in late November.
Thanks for looking in.
YOUR visit & comment
is truly appreciated.

Bonza photos and quotes. Summer down here in OZ is still two months away, can't wait. :-).
ReplyDeletenever thought of that!
ReplyDeletehelga, dc
Love the Helen Keller quote and photo above it. Unlike Windsmoke I am not looking forward to Summer. Spring is a season to be savoured, and for me, Summer one to be endured.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures, the quotes and the dream of New York in October.
ReplyDeleteOur natural air conditioner is off, too. It's good to go out and enjoy the fragrances of later summer this time of year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post.
You are to cool for words! So
ReplyDeleteTHANKS FRIEND!!
Much Love,
HFTEC!

That leetl dog wans dat beeg bote so bad!!!!!!!
I've always liked Helen Keller quotes. She had so much wisdom. She is one of Amaerica's most incredible stories IMHO.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing to know, but it makes sense....so do you call it summer? Our seasons here in Minnesota are truly and completely all different! Oh and not to forget....What a pretty scrub brush you have! ;)
ReplyDeleteI loved Golda Meir, I was fortunate to spend a weekend with her oh so many years ago.
ReplyDeleteWe too have our Sept and Oct hot but not as it is in Jun - July.Nice pictures and quotes.Aloha Cloudia !
ReplyDeleteHi Cloudia, sounds like things are heating up out your way, I love that nature provides natural ways to cool down, like you we get the 'sea breezes' in the afternoon/evening and the cool breeze from the desert early mornings, who needs air conditioning!! There are times haha!
ReplyDeleteI love your commentary about the change of seasons! And the photos of the surf (Sept 1st) are great too! Warmest aloha from the windward side :)
ReplyDeleteI love the photos - especially the girl and her dog.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I'll get to Hawaii - sounds as if the winter months are the time to be there.
thanks for the inspiration and warm aloha!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was in Hawaii I need some sun!
ReplyDeleteA dream come true.
ReplyDeleteNew York in October? !!!
Happy days....
the quotes are *fabulous* today! it's been a while since I've been to Hawaii and I miss it greatly.
ReplyDeleteyou're tucked into prayer and God knows, hears and loves.
Beautiful quotes, as always!
ReplyDeleteThe weather is gorgeous here right now. I want to be outside.
ReplyDeleteNo favourites this time. Post up to your usual excellent standard, though.
ReplyDeleteIts raining here .. and will be raining here through weekend .. I dont care .. I am headed to Los Angeles where its hot but not wet!
ReplyDeleteYes. Daryl is right - we live in somewhat close approximities (NYC). But Autumn is my fave time of year when the Earth shows off her beautiful fall colors. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing Hawaii with us. I was right there. Cheers Cloudia!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the warmth and yes, maybe one day we'll get to New York again in the fall. It's my favorite time of year to be there.
ReplyDeleteAloha, amiga! :)
Thanks for the beautiful images of Hawaii. I'm planning a return genealogy trip to Oahu soon, and have to remember to take some time to just sit on the beach and soak in the rays...
ReplyDeleteBeauteous. Like clockwork, cooler air has come to TX, somewhat cooler!
ReplyDeleteHere's to New York in October! Got to do a conference in Vermont in the autumn years ago, and it was wonderful.
p.s. Love that about the seasonal differences.
You made me 'smell a forest' - thank you for that so very much !
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Thursday you all.
Thanks!
