Brightening

Aloha From Honolulu!

Come forth into
the light of things, let
nature be your teacher.
   William Wordsworth





The darkness
of the whole world
cannot swallow the
glowing of a candle.
Robert Altinger





It's Christmas time
in the city!




I never know what I'm
going to put on the canvas.
The canvas paints itself.
I'm just the middleman.
Peter Max





We cannot hold a torch
to light another’s path
without brightening
our own.
Ben Sweetland

Its so strange to see Father Christmas in a tropical setting. Photo puts you off a little but nice to see.

Lovely photos.

Loved the photos and quotes today! Wordsworth was a whole category on Jeopardy last night, and I didn't know a single quote. Oh well, I have other qualities besides being a Jeopardy contestant.

I love Santa in the tropics, Cloudia. It is snowing here today. ;-)

Jenn Jilks said...

I do like Wordsworth!

Teresa said...

Cool pictures of clouds and mountains. Pixie looks like she's wondering what Santa is doing in Hawaii this close to Christmas!

Martha Jane Orlando said...

That's one big Santa in that photo, Cloudia. Loved all your photos and quotes here today. God bless!

Bill said...

Yay for Ben Sweetland's quote. Love seeing big Santa overlooking the neighborhood.

Mike said...

The big Santa reminds me of the Marshmallow Man in Ghost Busters.
