Morning Harbor

Aloha From Honolulu!

In morning light
The harbor gleams,
Water dances
Like particle beams.

The boats sway gently
That way and this
Tide returning.
Nothing amiss.

A camera is a tool for 
learning how to see 
without a camera.
 Dorothea Lange






Anole Lizard

In a forest of a hundred 
thousand trees, no two 
leaves are alike. And 
no two journeys along 
the same path are alike.     
Paulo Coelho






The great person
does not lose
a child's heart.
Mencius




Life is short, live it. 
Love is rare, grab it. 
Anger is bad, dump it. 
Fear is awful, face it. 
Memories are sweet, 
cherish it.

Those leaves in that wood. I will think the whole day about that. Every leaf a whole world on its own. Fantastic.
