Some Powdered Gold

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Oh, the summer night,
Has a smile of light,
And she sits on
a sapphire throne. Barry Cornwall



Walk in the Woods
Subtropical Edition
Green was the silence,
wet was the light, the
month of June trembled
like a butterfly.
    Pablo Neruda





Flower Fall Cascading
Down a Monkey Pod Tree
It was June, and the
world smelled of roses.
The sunshine was like
powdered gold over
the grassy hillside.
  Maud Hart Lovelace



Golden, Aged Leaf
One way of celebrating the Solstice
is to consider it a sacred time
of reflection, release,
restoration, and renewal. Sarah Ban Breathnach



What good is the
warmth of summer,
without the cold of winter
to give it sweetness.
John Steinbeck

The whole summer
was inside of us. Leah Raeder

Happy Midsummer Night's Dream! Today is also the Dragon Boat Festival. Time to eat zongci and watch the dragon boat races. I love that animal with the beautiful tail in the last picture, but I don't know what it is. Is it an opossum? Or is it a lemur? Pixie looks like she knows, but she is too busy napping in the summer sun to tell me. The dragon boats are too busy with the races, and I just don't have anyone to tell me what that animal is.
