It Was A Time. Good and Bad.
But it was a time. . .
*The Royal Hawaiian Hotel, known as the "Pink Palace of the Pacific," is a landmark of Waikiki Beach and one of the most historic and luxurious hotels in Hawaii. Opened in 1927 as the largest construction project in the Pacific at the time, its striking Spanish-Moorish architecture and distinctive pink façade quickly made it an island icon[1][2][9]. Throughout its history, the hotel has played host to celebrities, world leaders, and landmark events, serving as a glamorous resort destination and even a key military rest center during World War II[1][3]. Today, it stands as a symbol of Hawaii's heritage, blending historic elegance with modern amenities, and is recognized as a member of Historic Hotels of America[1][3][8].

Aloha... from Augsburg. Happy Tuesday
I love the planter on the Royal Hawaiian hotel. Pixie looks like she wants to hug (or bat at) that adorable green heron.
Awesome bird. Hi Pixie.
Lovely photo's and never heard or seen about a green heron before.
Dave Barry was a funny guy but that quote in isolation isn’t funny.
Hello from Pixie's fan club in North Carolina.
Trixie looks like she's reaching out today.
Great quotes, Cloudia, and another fantastic photo of Pixie. Blessings!
So beautiful pics. Great words.
Loved Pixie's cute pic :)
That Beatles album takes me back. I sold all mine a couple of years ago since I have no player anyway. Thanks, Cloudia. ;-) Like your Philly flyer too.
Love the photography and especially Pixie. Love the immaturity one the very best. So me.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to Pixie. ♥
...yep, remember your humanity, and forget the rest.
Pixie wants to say hello to the heron.
Very lovely! Your posts always make me smile #MCoW
I like that heron and you always have the best quotes, Claudia. Hugs to Pixie:)
A powerful reminder that growth demands change
