A L O H A From Honolulu!
Windward Oahu, Valeri Michaels, Kaneohe
The richness of the rain
made me feel safe
and protected;
Dreaming Weather
- I have always considered
the rain to be healing
—a blanket-
the comfort of a friend.
Without at least some rain
in any given day, or
at least a cloud or two
on the horizon, I
feel overwhelmed by
the information of sunlight
and yearn for the vital,
muffling gift of falling water.
Douglas Coupland

Sunshine
on my shoulders
makes me happy,
sunshine in my eyes
can make me cry.
Sunshine on the water
looks so lovely,
sunshine
almost always
makes me high.

Kindness is the sunshine
in which virtue grows.

A Sweating Cold Drink
is Welcome
on a
Sunny Hot Day!
When thou smilest,
my beloved,
Then my troubled heart
is brightened,
As in sunshine
gleam the ripples
That the cold wind
makes in rivers.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,
‘The Song Of Hiawatha’
After the rain,
the sun
will reappear...
...the joy will
still be here.

I am with Douglas Coupland. I love the rain.
Singing in the rain and the sunlight. Great post today.
That wall of rain looked foreboding, but the first rain photo looked refreshing.
That is one sunny mural! Very bright and colorful.
I just feel the sweat coming off that cup. It is a great way to cool down when the sun is beating down. Thanks for sharing this with us for T this week, dear Cloudia.
The cup looks like a giant ice cream cone!
I had never see a cockspur coral tree, what beautiful flowers!!
Lovely bright mural, thanks for participating in Monday Murals Cloudia.
Just sunshine without rain wouldn't be nice, just rain without sunshine wouldn't be nice either - so I'm grateful that we have both.
All the best to you and Pixie - have a happy new week of May!

I think I tend to go along with John Denver on this one.
That IS a giant ice cream cone. "How did he die?" "He jumped into a giant ice cream cone." "Couldn't you save him?" "We pulled him out twice."
Your photos are so wonderpurr to enjoy. I especially love the coral tree. Love, Dori
Thanks Dears
Love all the quotes and especially the rain one. It cleans everything.
I always enjoy seeing Pixie.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to beautiful Pixie. ♥
Pixie is wanting a good belly rub.
Yoo hoo! I can hear an old friend calling me when I was walking down the street, enough to stop for a delightful chat or chin-wag as that old English expression goes :) Beautiful sights and words, and Pixie :) Have a great week my friend!
So amazing!
Don't forget to link to T Tuesday, Cloudia.
Your first photo is beautiful, what a lovely view. I believe we've stepped into the growing season here finally, it's been such a slow process. I don't know the name of the flowering beauty but it's incredible. Aloha and enjoy your wanderings.
