Here's to You

A L O H A From Honolulu!

At end of day, there's a feeling that comes from knowing you've done your best warts and all. *
That's a feeling to cherish.




If you can smell the street
by looking at the photo,
it's a street photograph.
Bruce Gilden


You may choose to look
the other way, but
you can never say again
that you did not know.
William Wilberforce


If you care for an orchid, It's beauty will reward you.
Petals open. Fragrance fills your room. Even delicate things, Can be beautiful and strong.





 Let them bloom by
giving them your warm smiles,
your soft gentle words falling
on them like rain and your
art of confidence. You will be
amazed at your own garden.
Abaida Mahmood

"Magic Eraser" on my
Google Pixel phone removed the parking
meter you see here to
create photo #2 today.
It IS Magic!






* "Warts and all" is an idiom that means to describe or accept someone or something as they are, including all their faults or shortcomings.

    I thought you had just cropped the photo... Pixie is beautiful every day, and I do not believe that she has any warts at all. Cool post with great quotes.

    I think Oliver Cromwell first coined the phrase warts and all.
