Frondescence .. what a leafy, beautiful word. And as always, gorgeous photos to match.
Jack London is one of my favorite writers, but I think I'd rather be the planet.
Yeah, that word, frondescence is a new one to me too. Is it a Cloudia invention? So frond-angels look for assistance to flap around. Good thoughts. DrumMajor

I love the word frondescence, just looked it up. Thanks for the new word! Great pictures and quotes, as always.
Frondescence is such a wonderful word. Elton John is such a wondeful musician. Chinese New Year is such a wonderful holiday. Hope you have a great day!!
Gee... I'd love to see the Chinese New Year festivities, but I'm so afraid of the traffic and congestion.
yeah, that's why my scooter is SO awesome!
You know- I used to want to be a comet; but now I aspire to be a planet: moving, dancing, constant, reflecting LIGHT, bringing beauty to YOU sky :-)
Thanks SO much for being part of this
The green shine in the first picture is excellent and I also like the girl.
Greetings,

Beautiful, let it be.

Darling little girl! Whales, quotes, skies, what is not t love about you and your blog!
Cheers from Cottage Country!
Lucretius's quote is a stunner!
Thanks for these gems.
Frondescence is what I hope to achieve in my garden.
As always, glorious sky shot and wonderful quotes.
Thank you.
Reaching my wing towards you, so that we can fly...
If only more of us remembered this ;)
Have a divine day ♥
Thank you very much for this patience filled story of Jack London; something which I needed much. Please have you all a kind new week ahead. Thank you once again.
I hear The Call of the Wild in you!
Hugs,

Six hundred!
"Martin Eden" has always stayed with me, for some reason.
Nice photos and quotes.
Aloha, Cloudia !
Jack London received six hundred rejection slips before he sold his first story.
Well then I guess I have about five-hundred rejection slips coming to me before my first hit. Bummer.
Chinese newnyear in Hawaii !
Whoa - cool top photo and cool word, "frondescence"! I love what you did with it. Aloha and have a great week :)

Did you get to see Elton John? I've seen him live, he's awesome.
Enjoyed all of the images Cloudia, but am now going off to Google Jack London, I must be the only one of your visitors who doesn't know who he is!! Don't judge me haha!!
a pleasure as always!

aloha!!
I meant to say Cloudia, there aren't any Dingoes in the bush where we walk, there would be snakes, but thankfully so far we haven,t seen them.
Your quotes are always well-chosen, dear Cloudia .
I'd like to be in your warm island.
Nice shots.
:))))
Ciao from Italy
Lovely pictures.
Thanks so much for posting one on my wall.
OK learnt a new word today - Frondescence : )
If I was a rock singer, that's where I'd have concerts. :)
It's funny I know what you mean about having everything you need right here beside you! No tickets necessary! But you have given me reason to bring out a bit more Jack London! Aloha to you..... ;)
Wonderful post my friend. Beautiful foliage. Thanks for sharing that great insight. I believe we all have a great novel in us. Your words inspire me to never give up. Cheers!!
no, didn't see Sir Elton...but this is a much more exclusive arena, and I love YOUr material!
Aloha from Waikiki
