Hawaiian divers with hand tools

from the reef and onto shore. "

Very pretty sights around Hawaii this morning and the quotes, always enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics Cloudia! Lao Tzu's quote sets one thinking as it stood for contrast yet effective!

Good Morning, Cloudia! Wonderful images.. The sky looks beautiful and I love the Dickens quote. Have a happy day and new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteDickens is correct. I always get distracted in the back 40 from my work finding something new.
ReplyDeletePretty amazing, that church construction. Thankfully, we're not supposed to hurt the coral reefs like that any more.

The skies, they are beautifully blue.
ReplyDeleteI love the ginger! It's so amazing. The sky is beautiful - the air must be so clean!
ReplyDeletedon't think I've ever seen a pic of ginger like that before. cool.

ReplyDeleteThat shot of the ginger is so cool!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. I love the shell ginger spilling...
ReplyDeleteI hear there is also a pink coral castle in South Miami Florida. So muck work getting the material out of the water- Nifty pics. Have a good week- Aloha!
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to walk alone without musing about something? I hope not.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures and quotes.
The church stands out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteLove that shadow shot and the quote to go with it!

The church is wonderful Cloudia, even more so when you know the history and the work that it took to gather the materials to build it!

I love that shot of the shell ginger, Alpinia. I took one too, but it is not hanging as lovely as that.
