Moment Lasts Surprising

A L O H A From Honolulu!


We are each gifted in a
unique and important way.
It is our privilege and our adventure
to discover our own special light.

A moment lasts
all of a second,
but the memory
lives on forever.

It's surprising how
much of memory
is built around things
unnoticed at the time
Barbara Kingsolver




A common person marvels
at uncommon things.
A wise person marvels
at the commonplace.
Confucius



Poetry is an echo,

asking a shadow to dance. Carl Sandburg




Think big and live small.

Beautiful quotes and photos, Cloudia. Have a wonderful weekend. We just got a downpour here on our side of the island.

Thank you (as always) for the beauty and the thoughts to ponder.

Love the sun and sailboats in the banner shot. The uncommon shots of flowers are also quite striking, but my favorites are the bird dancing with its shadow and Pixie sleeping with a perky shadow that is ready to dance with birds or wolves or anyone else. Happy weekend!!

Aloha and thank you Cloudia for the warmth, lovely photos and words as it's quite blustery here at 18 degrees more like Minnesota than we've had lately, which was wonderful! Snow has been daily since Monday night, and I've yet to capture it yet. hehehehe am I in denial? Yes. I'm heading to Alabama next week though for a visit, and hopefully warmer weather. Take care and enjoy your weekend.

It's so lovely to see such beautiful, sunny pictures - especially when so many are telling us about snowstorms and cold weather.
The quotations are lovely too.
