Resonate

A L O H A From Honolulu!
You can’t be that kid
standing at the top
of the water-slide,
overthinking it.
You have to
go down the chute.
  Tina Fey




A truly great book 
should be read 
in youth, 
again in maturity and 
once more in old age, 
as a fine building 
should be seen 
by morning light,
 at noon 
and by moonlight.
           Robertson Davies




Hope is a helium balloon. 
It is a wish lantern set out 
into the dark sky of night.
Sharon Weil




Photography is a reality so subtle 
that it becomes more real than reality. 
           Alfred Stieglitz




I think it is the small
gestures that resonate.
Nick Cave

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

    I just thought of how I only remember seeing Stieglitz's photos of Georgia O'Keeffe. I know he was famous before her, and influenced her probably, but I wonder how she may have influenced him.

    I loved that quote about reading a great book at different stages of your life. The real stories always deserve to be read again and again. Liked the quote about photography, too, and all your photos are fantastic, Cloudia!

    I am sure there are many airplanes flying over your air space, but I bet few of them get to experience such a spectacular sunset.

    You get the best rainbow photos Cloudia. And I love that book quote, although a great book should be read as many times as you want to read it. :) Give Pixie a pat for me.

    I also think that you can discover different things in a good book (and in a beautiful building) at different times, dear Cloudia. Good quotes and pictures.

    All the best to your and Pixie, Traude
