Best and Beautiful

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The moon is a friend
for the lonely.
Carl Sandburg





 The best and most beautiful
things in this world
cannot be seen or even heard,
but must be felt with the heart. 
       Helen Keller




Tiny drops of pure delight,
Glistening in the morning light.
Cradled gently by a leaf,
A fleeting gift, a small relief.

Each drop a world unto itself,
Reflecting sky and clouds above,
A microcosm of the universe,
A gift of beauty and of love.




Genius is no more than a
childhood recaptured at will. 
Arthur Rimbaud



 Words were never invented
to fully explain the peaceful aura
that surrounds us when
we are in communion with
minds of the same thoughts.
Eddie Myers

Beautiful photos again and Pixie can really look amazed.

Amazing photos.
I saw the full moon last night, but chose to stay indoors. It really cooled off!

Gorgeous moon! Pixie has a look of surprise! So cute!
Take care, have a happy day and a great new week!

RedPat said...

The moon here was drifting behind the clouds - quite lovely. ;-)

Raindrops on leaves is a fine photo.

Bill said...

Fantastic photography! The raindrops and the moon are my favourites.
Have a wonderful Sunday, Cloudia.

Teresa said...

Great shots today! Pixie looks like she's wondering how she will commune with that chicken on the surfboard!

Mike said...

Love the moon shot. But go do it again and tell that person to turn their light off.

Kay said...

I love the Eddie Myers quote. I guess it's true for all us bloggers as we try to convey the perfect words for our posts.

I had to laugh at Mike's comment. For me, that single light was what made that moon shot so incredibly special.

That's a beautiful and charming mural, too, Cloudia.

That moon takes my breath away, Cloudia. It does remind us that with God, we are never alone.
Blessings!

Love the photos especially the one with the moon and it is reflected in one of the windows. I love the quotes and my favourite is the little poem about the droplets on the leaf.

Awesome photos, Great post.
Have a nice week ahead.

Nice (new?) banner.
Oh, the moon. I have to disagree, though. My Dad dragged us kids out of bed in cold winter-nights to watch the moon. He was not lonely! (But we were tired).
Helen Keller sure was a woman I admire the most.
Sometimes words are too much, I agree.
Let´s surf into a new week!
