When the Trade Winds blow,
it makes everyone feel young
like this fellow enjoying
a ride in the back
of an open vehicle
How wonderful to work
high on a roof with the
Ko`olau Mountains watching
Surf is up too!
" If you can spend
a perfectly useless afternoon
in a perfectly useless manner,
you have learned how to live. "
Lin Yutang

Blow away Volcanic haze!
Come freshening North East Winds
bring the scent of far off cold
and open ocean-
Clear the skies
and open our hearts
to Delight!
Bright Sun
Glinting waves
Fresh visitors.
Thank YOU
for visiting today!
Hope YOU are feeling it too-
Warmly, cloudia
I love the Lin Yutang quote. I wish it were easier to relax and not feel guilty about spending a perfectly useless afternoon. :)
ReplyDeleteWould love to air my brain and spend a useless afternoon today...DrumMajor
ReplyDeletehooray for fresher air!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. It looks so lovely. Catherine
ReplyDeleteAloha Cloudia, I live for Lin Yutang's quote. I just read it the other day...one of those truly wise quotes. Enjoy your day of sights, sounds and something that sizzles!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely got to love a good breeze. I've always read of the trade winds. Such an exotic sounding thing to my ears.
ReplyDeleteMy mind wanders there in my Jimmy Buffet moments.

An afternoon spent doing nothing is not necessarily wasting time if you are experiencing joy!
ReplyDeleteNot sure how happy he looks to be in the back of that truck (but that may just be the light). Would love to put Lin Yutang's quote into (in)action today…
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this happy beauty.
I think I'd rather go surfing than work on a roof. (And I don't even know how to surf!)
ReplyDelete~
What a happy day!! Glad the trade winds are blowing freely... May you have a perfectly useless afternoon!
