Childlike Wonder, Just add Experience

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Shout-out to all the people
who wake up early to shine
before the sun does.
Anonymous Appreciator





My morning run is the in-between
space of yesterday’s forgotten
problems and today’s
beautiful possibilities.

in a third photo?

The creative act lasts
but a brief moment, a
lightning instant of give-and-take,
just long enough for you to
level the camera and to
trap the fleeting prey
in your little box.
  Henri Cartier-Bresson




How does the man in the
moon cut his hair?

I'm not concerned with your
liking or disliking me. All I
ask is that you respect me
as a human being.

seat of the Muses in Greek myth.
Native of the tropical Americas.





The great geniuses are those
who have kept their
childlike spirit and have
added to it breadth of
vision and experience.

    Thanks for taking us to the races today! I like the feral feline runner. Pixie definitely is showing her great vision and wisdom along with her childlike spirit. She was too wise to run in the heat...

    We had a marathon here yesterday. In the rain - which didn't deter the courageous athletes.

    As always great if only I could remember the quotes better but that is a passed station. Still love to see your posts.

    Hello,
    At first I thought Pixie was loose outside. Cute kitty.
    Kudos to all the runners! Have a great day and happy new week!

    If you ever see me running, you had better run too because something big is chasing me.

    They are going to have a run on my trail this month, but I don't run or ride. I just walk. LOL
    Lovely photos and great quotes. Thanks Cloudia and Pixie. Happy T day.

    I used to love running, it was such an elating feeling. Sometimes I'm sad that I can't do it anymore, but I can still walk about, so that's good. Happy T Day to you and your Kitty, Valerie

    I feel like a slug. I have missed several posts of yours this week, but real life seemed to get in the way. How nice about the marathon. I suspect this half marathon is even more demanding than the Boston marathon everyone seemed to be talking about yesterday. thanks for sharing the link. I was able to see the route and the various stations and what they offered.

    What a STUNNING T photo. That looks rather painful to me, but I suspect that was great warm up. Thanks for sharing the great half marathon, the anonymous runner's quote, the cat in the grass, and Pixie, at home and relaxing, along with the lady and her drink with us for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.
