Spaces You Leave

A L O H A From Honolulu!

For age is opportunity no less
Than youth itself, though
in another dress,
And as the evening
twilight fades away
The sky is filled with stars,
invisible by day.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow



What you don't say,
and the spaces you leave,
will say more than any
words you could have used.



Each breadfruit is a compound
or multiple fruit called a syncarp.
The female inflorescence,
appearing after the male,
consists of 1500-2000
minute flowers attached
to a spongy core.
The flowers fuse together
and develop into the fleshy,
edible portion of the fruit.

 I would look at a dog
and when our eyes met, I realized that the dog and all creatures are my family. They're like you and me. Ziggy Marley



One loyal friend is
worth ten thousand relatives. Euripedes

Pixie's cat's eyes are staring into the dog's eyes. Are they really going to be best friends? Lovely post today. I like the shot of the spaces among the branches of the trees.

Pixie wonders what the dog is up to.

Good observation by your loyal cat.

That is quite funny, pre-chaos president! Buckle up!
I like the Longfellow quote. I have two dying hospice clients, and they are taking it all pretty well.

As always, lovely photos and great quotes. Pixie speaks the truth. I LOVE the Obama mural. Pre-chaos indeed. Back when our country wasn't torn apart by a brutal bully trying to play dictator.
