Aloha From Honolulu!
You find yourself refreshed by
the presence of cheerful people.
Why not make an honest effort
to confer that pleasure
on others?
Half the battle is gained if
you never allow yourself to
say anything gloomy.
Lydia M. Child
We taste and feel
and see the truth.
We do not reason
ourselves into it.
William Butler Yeats
Trismas Cree
"Miyo-manitowi-kîsikanisi"
Is the Cree phrase for
"Have a Merry Christmas"
The Cree are an Indigenous people who occupy territory in the Subarctic and Plains regions of Canada. There are three main dialects of the Cree language: “th” Woodlands, “y” Plains, and “n” Swampy Cree.
Melaleuca quinquenervia
Commonly known as the broad-leaved paperbark, paper bark tea tree, punk tree or niaouli, is a small- to medium-sized tree of the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. It grows as a spreading tree up to 20 m tall, with its trunk covered by a white, beige and grey thick papery bark. Wikipedia
Whenever you are
sincerely pleased
you are nourished.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dawn Moon
The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished.
Deng Ming-Dao

The greatest evil
that can befall someone
is to come to
think ill of themselves.

I do love trees.
I will have to think about the Goethe quote. From that ill positive change can come - if we/I are ready to put in the work required.
❤️🌺
Tree #2 is posed perfect.
I believe the Melaleuca is an Australian native tree, used for many purposes by our indigenous population.
All the trees are beautiful and I love the sky shot.
Pixie is always a favorite.
Take care, have a great day.
Classic Christmas song. Great photo :-D
That variety of plants is truly amazing, wonderful the tree with paperbark.

How wonderful to see rainbows right outside your window! Have a great Thursday!
Beautiful Christmas tree.
Pixie never thinks ill of herself, does she? Blessings, Cloudia!
Pixie and I are wondering what "swampy Cree" sounds like. I also love that Punk (rock) paper tree. Cool post today. The song is great.
Amazing photos. I love the cat <3
Love the trees and Brenda Lee, Cloudia. ;-)
Look warm.
Beautiful photos and quotes. Loved that quote about the moon's strength.
I can never have enough trees.
Give Pixie some head rubs for me.
Worth a Thousand Words
Wonderful post as always! This week on my "Beautiful Woman of the Day" blog, I featured Dr. Anne Anderson, an important Cree educator and author from my city here in Alberta. She helped save and preserve the Cree language after much of it was lost in Canada's racist residential school system. Here's the link:
