A L O H A From Honolulu!
I'm right here right now
and I want now to
be the Golden Age.
If only each generation would
realize that the time for greatness
is right now when they're alive. . .
. . . the time to flower is now.
Patti Smith
Kamehameha The Great
Unified the Hawaiian Islands in 1810
One of the most striking figures in Hawaiian history, a leader who united and ruled the islands during a time of great cultural change.

There is a light that shines
beyond all things on earth,
beyond the highest,
the very highest heavens.
This is the light that
shines in your heart.
Lei queen smiles
in regal style!
Happiness lingers
around for a while.
Tiara and flowers
But strangely no lei
Laughed to myself
As I walked away.

A cat may look at a queen
only one she's ever seen!
only one she's ever seen!
Unity is that
we come together
despite our differences.

The time to flower is definitely now. For us all.
Hooray đ
I like the smile of the blue dress lady
"no lei"
Ha! Nice.
Right đ
...always seek the light.
I love that quote by Patti Smith. So true and heartfelt. This is our Golden Age. Right here, right now. Thanks for the reminder.
You are right! I thought that myself, no lei!
I think everyone should be able to wear a Queen (or King) sash and tiara for a day!
Love the Patti Smith quote, Cloudia. ;-)
And Queen Pixie wouldn't care a hoot about a lei. Wonderful to see the Hawaiian ways to honor leaders...Lei Queen without a lei does make one wonder!
May we all come to realize how important each moment we have on earth is.
Blessings, Cloudia!
Great quotes and photos.
Pixie looks like a queen!
Take care, enjoy your day!
Do you think Pixie ate the queen's lei, or maybe she hid it with her stash of catnip....? Cool post. I love your little ditty about the lei queen.
Kamehameha is well decorated.
The decorated statue of Kamehameha The Great is very impressive.
I love the adorned statue - we were there for his birthday and there was a big picnic in the grounds. It was great! #LittleThings
Enjoyed the photos
Beautiful photos and interesting captions.
Thanks my lovely friends. I appreciate each of you
Gorgeous sky in that first shot.
Beautiful photos! They sky is my favorite.
Queen Pixie!
Another lovely photo/quote combo set.

Aloha, Cloudia! Great quotes and pictures as always! What gorgeous flowers on King Kamehameha's statue!
Lovely pictures again, Claudia. I smiled at the Lei Queen without her Lei ... go figure! Pixie is the Queen ... she doesn't have to look elsewhere to see one. And Unity ... Yes! One of my best Friends and I are polar opposites, especially politically and we are still best friends. We make no effort to sell our views we just operate in a friendly fun way and it works. All of this nonsense of division will be our undoing. So hope you are finding Unity in you life, Claudia ...
