Morning Portraits

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The Scariest demons of darkest night melt in the graces of morning's good light.



Surfer in the Park
When you stop expecting
people to be perfect, you can
like them for who they are.
   Donald Miller


Robot in the Park
 The worst tempered people
I have ever met were those who knew they were wrong. David Letterman




Waikiki
I smell the soil. I smell the sea.
I smell the mountain forest,
how very lucky for me!



Cameo Appearance in the Wall

The light of the Beloved
shines only NOW.
Rumi



Holiday Portrait
Laughter is
carbonated holiness. 
 Anne Lamott 



No love, no friendship
Can cross the path
of our destiny
Without leaving some
mark on it forever.
Francois Mauriac

Perfection? Pfft to that. There is no such person.

Teresa said...

Pixie is wondering why people are laughing at her. She's carbonated perfection in a fur coat. Cool shots today.

William Kendall said...

Pixie looks radiant.

Great quotes! Pixie always looks adorable.
Have a great day and happy new week!

Jenn Jilks said...

These are lovely images. I love the first one, with the light.
It's good seeing all your colours. We are buried in white!

Mike said...

I'm perfect at not being perfect.

Cloudia said...

Yeah you are!

It is such a great scene seeing a lady walking across the street with a surf board

Sandi said...

Who is the cameo in the wall?

Iris Flavia said...

Nice series again!

Erin the Cat Princess said...

A lovely selection of images, and delightful quotes too. Pixie seesms to be basking in some lovely sun. None of that here, mores the pitty.

The Donald Miller quote is perfect!

Have a lovely Christmas

The J-Cats said...

Lovely images and so perfectly matched with the words.
We loved the song too.

Beautiful quotes, photos :)

M Dawson said...

I think if you were perfect you would have no friends. Who wants to be with someone who never goofs and can't laugh at mistakes? We all to silly things and if we laugh we know we are on the right track :-)

Andree said...

Love the first quotation, love the couple in the matching shirts, love the music. I especially loved Pixie's portrait!

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I think perfection is a myth. I'm fine with friends who have faults and know it. That is a very unique mural. I can see I know nothing about your Islands.
