Aloha Kolea

A  L  O  H  A !

A true 'Snow Bird'
Kolea 
 Is the Hawaiian name
 of the Pacific Golden Plover
[Pluvialis Fulva

 Every Spring, each one flies
 from Hawai'i 
to their nesting grounds
 in Alaska,
returning to our islands
 in the Fall
 a non-stop 3,000 mile flight
each way.











“Only from the heart
 Can you touch the sky.” 

 Rumi










“ Observe the wonders 
as they occur around you. 
Don't claim them. 
Feel the artistry
 moving through 
and be silent. ”

Rumi











“Every tree and plant 
in the meadow 
seemed to be dancing, 
those which average eyes
 would see as fixed 
and still”

Rumi










" Every flower
 is a soul
 blossoming
 in nature.  "

Gerard De Nerval

That's alot of work for creating more birds. Maybe they watched "March of the Penguins." There'd be fewer humans if we had to work that hard to advance the species. DrumMajor

Who can blame the Snow Bird for flying all that way just to get back to Hawaii? :)

Ah - Nature is so gorgeous and bountiful!

They must be mighty hungry by the time they get to each side of the equation -- or do they have in-flight refueling?

Bugs, fish, a wing &* a prayer ~~

Thank YOU my far-flyers
for coming so far
to rest in Waikiki's sand
for a while
to share,
to smile,
together
