Cordyline

A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U
I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. Vincent van Gogh



The breeze at dawn 
has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
    Rumi






Red Ti Cordyline and 
Philippine ground orchids
I expand and live 
in the warm day
like corn and melons.
   Ralph Waldo Emerson





A child of five would
understand this.
Send someone to
fetch a child of five!
Groucho Marx

First Hawaiian Bank,

Kalakaua Ave

(In storage - Bank Branch Closed)
The Hawaiians of old
discovered and inhabited
these islands
centuries ago,
While Europeans 
hugged their coasts
lest they fall over 
the world's edge.
The great double-hulled 
sailing canoes
brought people, 
animals, plants,
and culture to
Hawaii!

I'm with Emerson today! Plan to be out walking when it's a bit warmer and in the great sunshine. Love the mural, so glad it was preserved and hope it can be shown somewhere again!

Aloha Cloudia, wow what a capture with your first photo, the words are perfect for it as well. It should be a postcard. Your quotes are just what I need today, you have a way of filling my life's needs. Be well dear friend, aloha and hugs.

You live in a lovely spot. The history and culture is wonderful.

Polynesian and Melanesian voyagers were indeed remarkable in the way that they colonized the Pacific by discovering almost every inhabitable island. Their way of navigating by the stars is far beyond our understanding — all we understand is a GPS!

I love your shots today, especially the night shot, the morning breeze, and Pixie waiting for a child of 5 to come make her day! I also like the coda about the Hawaiian double-hulled canoes!
