A L O H A From Honolulu!
Sky and the sea
reflect each other.
Sky so vast
and ever-changing,
Sea mysterious and deep.
Together they embody
Nuanced human emotion.
If every tiny flower
wanted to be a rose,
Spring would lose its loveliness.
Therese of Lisieux
Memories do not
live in our past,
but direct us to our future.
We are what we remember.
So we can imagine and build.
In this sleepless night,
as the darkness advances,
look up at the sky and
somehow remember that somewhere
in this wide world, there are always
people who love you, and
people who need you. Because
every person can't
go on living alone.

Thank you. I love that statue. She looks so happy.
Yes, I agree. Thanks honey. Aloha
Love the first picture... so I stole it.
I love the memory shot of the NorCal lagoon and the great shot of Pixie. The Hawaiian statues with leis are cool, too. Thanks for spreading love and beauty in the world.
Interesting to treat past experiences as assets rather than liability. So good to read that.
...what a sky!
The first scene and sky is beautiful.
A lovely hibiscus bloom.
The statue with the lei is beautiful.
Sweet shot of Pixie.
Take care, have a great day and happy weekend.
Pixie & Claudia,
Happy FFO 🥰
Hot sky.
A lovely post. Hmmm exalting our years to make a difference. I should try that because I am having a hard time being old. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a very nice weekend.
Your last photo and poem really hit home today! Thanks!
Wow, you and Pixie sure saw a gorgeous sunset. The color of the sky is just amazing. I'm not sure I could reproduce that pink if I wanted to. Happy weekend ahead Cloudia.

Beautiful post. I love that electric sky!
The statue of queen Liliuokalani is beautiful. Hers is a sad story, sad for Hawaii.

I like both statues, but I LOVE the one of Queen Liliuokalani. And of course, Pixie looks lovely today, too.
Beautiful post!!
A stunning sky in the first photo, I love it.
