Two Lives

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Double Rainbow Crossing the Canal

A double rainbow, far and high,
Gleams across the distant sky,
Hovering over the green canal
The bright sky creature's
flaming tail.


Life smiles at you
when you are happy; But
life salutes you when
you make others happy.
Charlie Chaplin




Plumeria pudica is a
fast-growing, evergreen
frangipani tree that's native to
Panama, Colombia, and Venezuela.


Lantern, made of flowers,
Hung upon a tree,
In the summer's morning hour
So sweetly enchanting to me




Cassia javanica is a species
of tree in the Fabaceae family.
It is also known as Java cassia,
pink shower, apple blossom tree,
and rainbow shower tree.
This tree is native to the
Indonesian island of Java.


Pixie California Dreaming about our time there
We all have two lives.
The second one starts
when we realize
we only have one.
   Tom Hiddleston

Gorgeous rainbows and flowers. Is Pixie really dreaming about California or is she just realizing how lucky she is to have 9 lives?
