Palace

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A bird is joy incarnate.
Myrtle Reed




Iolani Palace, Honolulu

It was as if I had
inherited a palace by
virtue of simply
being in love. Aspen Matis



Let right be your light
May you always burn bright
Glowing the path for others.
Terri Guillemets




The Izumo Taishakyo Mission
Date established: 1906
Honolulu Shinto shrine
one of few active Shinto shrines
in the USA The wooden structure
was inspired by the
classical Japanese shrine
Izumo-taisha. Wikipedia



I am smart enough
to keep it simple,
make it simple, and I
don't mind seeming simple.




Be thine own palace,
or the world's thy jail. John Donne

Birds are feathered enchantment - and set off the beauty of a rainbow well.

I couldn't afford to inherit a palace. I couldn't afford the upkeep.

Hi Cloudia, what a treat to see these sun drenched photos. We are in the middle of a typical January white with snow world. Thanks for the great quotes too.

Wherever pixie lives is a palace because she is a queen. Thanks so much for stopping by friends

I was wondering if you were going to see the funeral of the princess. I saw it in the news and it looked beautiful and historic.
