Storms Break

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

For a dark street, sunshine
is most welcome; for
a wounded soul, love
is most welcome!
   Mehmet Murat ildan




The city could still throw shadows
filled with mystifying figures
from its past, whose grip
on the present could be felt
on certain strange days. . .
Christopher Fowler






She sat down in a
weed patch,
her elbows on her knees,
and kept her eyes on the
small mysterious world
of the ground. -





-In the shade and sun
of grass blade forests,
small living things
had their metropolis. Nancy Price

I cannot endure to waste 
anything so precious
as autumnal sunshine
by staying in the house.
 Nathaniel Hawthorne
[Notebook, Oct. 10, 1842]



Or at least by a nice comfortable window!

I agree about getting out in the sunshine! We have a lot of sunny days here but we have pop up showers at this time of year. Happy weekend my friend!

You always find such beautiful quotations and poems – and your photos are perfect accompaniment to them. Yes, these are the last days of summer, and soon we’ll go out and look at golden leaves.

The first picture looks like an explosion of sunshine.

Great grouping of photos. What a cool looking tree. Loved the pretty flower, the center looks like a star. - As always your kitty makes me smile, she has such an expressive face.

Gripping memorable words & feelings in today's quotes. Like the macro shots of the beetle, & the sun shots.

That burst of rising brilliant sunshine is amazing, and I can imagine you were delighted to catch it live! What a lovely old tree as well, imagine the stories it could unfold if only it could speak to us. Enjoy your weekend to the fullest and take care of you! Aloha.
