Pictures of Infinite Beauty

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Sunsets are so beautiful
that they almost seem as
if we were looking through
the gates of Heaven.
John Lubbock










It is almost impossible
to watch a sunset
and not dream. Bern Williams




African Sausage Tree Blossom
Kigelia is a genus of flowering
plants in the family Bignoniaceae.
The genus consists of only one species, Kigelia africana, which occurs throughout tropical Africa. The so-called sausage tree grows a poisonous fruit that is up to 60 cm (2 feet) long, weighs about 7 kg (15 pounds), and resembles a sausage in a casing.
Wikipedia







Nature is painting for us,
day after day, pictures
of infinite beauty if only we
have the eyes to see them.
John Ruskin

Hello,
Neat sighting of the monk seal. Pixie is always looking sweet.
I have never heard of a sausage tree, the blossom is pretty.
Take care, enjoy your day!

Love that Lubbock quote and the sign to protect the seal.

Cloudia said...

Those Hawaiian monk seals just come up on the beach and hang around for a while! I'm glad you folks come and hang around too

Sunsets are great. I wonder how the sun gets up there to begin with?

Tom said...

...I have many signs like this for turtles, but never for seals.

Linda said...

I need to get outside and admire nature often.

Nice quotes. That seal looks cute even though you shouldn't approach :)
