There Is A Garden

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The lure of the distant and
the difficult is deceptive.
The great opportunity is
where you are.
John Burroughs



What one loves in childhood

stays in the heart forever. Mary Jo Putney


Lantana is a genus of about 150 species
of perennial flowering plants
in the verbena family, Verbenaceae.
Wikipedia
There is a garden in every childhood,
an enchanted place where colors
are brighter, the air softer, and
the morning more fragrant
than ever again. Elizabeth Lawrence

If you carry your childhood
with you, you never
become older. Tom Stoppard

We could never have loved
the earth so well if we had
had no childhood in it. George Eliot

Golly, a childhood with eternal sun. Wouldn't that be lovely.
I wish I could grow lantanas, they don't survive winter over here.

I like that first shot of the walkway with palm trees. I think Pixie is wondering if verbena will taste as good as catnip.

Awesome tree and sun shot!

THe cartoon of a breaching whale is neat. Getting their enormous bodies out of the water is an amazing feat of strength! I don’t think anyone knows why they do it.

I like the lantana flowers. In Africa we had the flowers with lots of colours. In Australia they are considered an invasive species.
Lovely mural Cloudia, thanks for participating in Monday murals.
