If you have just flown
for hours over an ocean -
- This is a
CLOSE look
at Honolulu
When looking around
a large parking lot,
a closer look
might reveal
something interesting!
[ shot 1st week of October,
Halloween 4 weeks away ]
Why is this shot here?
Closer look
reveals
a baby gecko
This is a close look -
- Until you get closer
" If I held you
any closer
I would be
on the other side
of you.
"
Groucho Marx
“Were we closer
to the ground
as children,
or is the grass
emptier
now? "
Alan Bennett
On this scale,
we encounter
old friends
Or are they MONSTERS!
[ look close; see his eye? ]
" Since you cannot
do good to all,
pay
special attention
to those who,
by the accidents
of time, or place,
or
circumstances,
are brought into closer
connection
with you. "
Augustine of Hippo

The august Hippo
is right!
SOMETHING
has brought us
together.
The Special Attention
we share
with one another
is
Very Special
when you examine it
more closely
Thank YOU!

I had to change glasses four times just to look close enough to see...now that I have seen, I can say I saw and I think the grass was fuller when I was smaller.
sorry i missed the gecko...imagining the fall to that parking lot...smiles...

Here comes winter, Cloudia (remember winter?!),
Pearl
aloha from nyc where its really fall ...
Great idea for a post. Great idea to include Groucho Marx
Haha! A closer look at the snail does indeed make it look like a monster! : )
It's funny, I can't remember how our blogs connected. As usual, your photographs are exceptional and I'm glad I get to see them.
Do geckos fly? If they only crawl and climb, surely his family is hanging around another floor or balcony. Please feed him; he's worked hard. DrumMajor
I love the baby gecko!
Beautiful pictures, the first and second are the best.
Well photographed.
Love the Hippo quote and the entire post. Always a delight to visit here.
Snails are horny little bastards aren't they?
I spotted the gecko straight off Cloudia, just call me 'hawk eye'...
I so enjoyed getting closer. x
sweet little gecko way up there. and beautiful snail!
I'm singing, "werewolves of Hawaii".
stunning snaps...
Profundity- has found it's Home. And I love that we are invited to visit daily!
Love ya sweet Sister! I can't imagine you topping each post and yet---viola!!!!!!
Did I type VO-alla- or Vi olla?

I did not know that werewolves were native to Hawaii! I learn something new every time you give us a closer look into your world!
It's really something to think about. I do cherish my blog friends and love getting to know everybody closer and more dearly.
That connection is always just a click away.
Love the very close up of the snail!
I like the rainbow. Ciao cara Cloudia.

Ha ha - loved those feline follies !! And what a great quote Pixie had on happiness (from JB Priestly) !
Sorry - I could never live in your apartment - got weak knees just looking out the window at your visitor on the ledge.
But what a wonderful rainbow over Honolulu !! (had to 'steal' that Groucho Marx quote ;>)
Aloha, Cloudia !
My friends are always cherished, I count you as one of them :)
I am sure lots of monsters and aliens around us !
how did the baby genco come up so high up.....
I love the rainbow the most
Brilliant.
Lovely as always. I loved the gecko, your shots of the sky are incredible, today, yesterday and tomorrow. The gecko was special too. Thank you.
Oh my what big teeth you have! I might not be so scared normally (Ha! Ha!)but his teeth would have me very worried! What an adorable gecko, that I missed even when I blew up your picture! Fun friends on your deck! Enjoy today-Karen
Aloha and thanks!
Augustine was right, but I still say the third shot looks like the Safeway in Coronado.
