Such lovely flowers and thoughts. This was a joy to visit.
I didn't know the Updike quote, so much thanks for posting it.
Is Flossie still on her way Cloudia, I missed the news today.. Beautiful kimonos.

I would prefer to be first or last, the middle is to crowded.
What a polite storm: it slings some plumeria blossoms around. Are the Japanese ladies "orthodox" visitors or employees at a restaurant? Diversity is delightful! DrumMajor
The ladies look like flowers.
Lovely kimono ladies!
Such a pleasant girl you are...
cute kimonos
and I'm off to the inner spaces... again and again, thank you for the prompt!
Great pictures!
Was that a special occasion for the kimono wearers, or...
These tidbits of cultural exchanges are what keeps me blogging. Thank you.
Those kimonos are beautiful, though they seem uncomfortable. I guess fashion doesn't ever pay attention to that. Have a good day Claudia.
Like the ladies in kimono..nice pictures..thanks for sharing..hv a great day..
Jolly! Thanks.....Not sure about the kimono ladies......
I love the kimono, it is such a beautiful form of traditional clothing. Thank you for another great post Cloudia, your photos and quotes were great as always :)
Looks like Flossie is heading westward out to sea away from YOU. Hooray! Enjoyed seeing your shots of those lovely ladies in their kimonos.
Kimono's in Hawaii? That's unexpected.
Greetings,
Filip
I guess Pope wasn't a dedicated follower of fashion!
Not sure we ever "lay the old aside."
I love the kimono ladies! And your words from Updike...perfect!
Those get-ups must be hot!
Thanks for blessing me with your visits, FRIENDS!!!
Love the tale told
