Jacaranda Season

A   L   O   H   A  !

Jacaranda Season in Waikiki


A native of Brazil,
the jacaranda is a leguminous tree,
 with wood called 'violet wood'
 'king wood'
or 'tiger wood.'

   Jacaranda 
is it's own genus
 (of the catalpa family).

Introduced to Hawaii
around 1900









You GOTTA Click
on THIS One!

" There's the space 
that you soar into,
 the space
 that you sometimes 
break through to,
 and hang in.
 A sort of gasp 
or gap. "

Selima Hill













" - it is never our tenderness
 that we repent of,
 but our severity." 

 George Eliot

Henry Ford the Second made an appropriate quote seeing as he was from Detroit. When he crashed a car with a blond in it that was not his blond wife, mobbed by reporters he said "Never Complain, Never Explain"

That's what I believe about regrets.

The last two quotes on this post are real gems!

I fell in love with the jacaranda the first time I laid eyes on one here in Florida - they're spectacular and in bloom here now too. And what a magnificent sky !!!

A blessed Easter to you. Aloha.
