Uncut Diamonds

Aloha From Honolulu!

In a world like ours,

all we’ve got to be -
 is the warmth of
the morning sun.
  Michael Bassey Johnson


Shell Ginger & Bee

To make a prairie
it takes a clover
and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.
      Emily Dickinson




Little Green Heron

Birds sing after a storm; 
why shouldn't people feel 
as free to delight in 
whatever sunlight 
remains to them?
         Rose Kennedy



Diamond Head Light

Guard well your spare moments.
They are like uncut diamonds.
Discard them and their value
will never be known.
Improve them
and they will become
the brightest gems
in a useful life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson


With a good friend
the hours are short.
   Basque proverb 

𐇧 𐇧 𐇧 𐇧 𐇧 𐇧 𐇧
Love You,
Pixie, Cloudia
& the Bee

When the bee comes
to your house,
let her have beer;
you may
want to visit the
bee's house some day.

Pixie is using her spare moments well, Cloudia. ;-)

This is a marvelous gem of a post! Pixie looks like she's zonked out after drinking too much beer with bees. Their honey will be potent this month.

Great quotes and photos today, thank you.

Aloha Cloudia and Pixie too, what a great capture in your second photo, bees do love their jobs. Beautiful quotes, and I love lighthouses so much. It's a delight especially on this freezing day to see your lovely world and pretend to feel the warmth coming to us!
