60 seconds of Happiness

A   L   O   H   A  !

 

" If you haven't got
 any charity in your heart, 
you have the worst kind 
of heart trouble.  "

Bob Hope 

" Make the most you can
 of the Indian Hemp seed 
and sow it everywhere. "

First US President George Washington
 in a note to his gardener at Mount Vernon (1794)

" For every minute

that you are angry,

you lose 

60 seconds

of Happiness. "

Emerson

Sun Dogs

A   L   O   H   A  !

Rainbow  Ladder

“ Man, Sub-creator, 
the refracted light
through whom is splintered 
from a single White
to many hues, 
and endlessly combined
in living shapes 
that move 
from mind to mind. ”


 J.R.R. Tolkien

That vertical 'rainbow' is called a

 'Sun Dog'

 or Parhelion. 

They appear when light rays

 pass through high cirrus clouds

containing horizontal hexagonal ice crystals.

The ice crystals in the clouds act as prisms.

I shot this Sun Dog over the Pacific

 from Waikiki.

This was the first time I've noticed one!

It appeared two afternoons in a row.

Perhaps I shan't see another

for many years

when conditions are again

perfect.
