Summer's Genius

A  L  O  H  A !
Theme From A Summer Place (1960) by Henry Mancini on Grooveshark

 Afternoon  Retreat from Brightness



 “It takes a lot of time
 to be a genius.
You have to sit around 
so much,
doing nothing,
 really doing 
nothing.”

Gertrude Stein










 Intimate Duet


“A genius is someone 
who takes a complex thing
 and makes it look simple.

 An academic 
does the opposite. ”

Robert Fanney











Sky  Crown

" There is a huge amount
 of freedom
 that comes to you 
when you take 
nothing personally. "

Don Miguel Ruiz

  15. Visiting you is always a vacation.
    Texas sent us some hot temps: 34+ C., which we might get, usually, in August.
    Many are not able to handle it.
    I'd love to jump in your ocean. Two showers today!
    Greetings from Cottage Country!
