Rosy Tower

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

 Life is full of beauty. 
Notice it. Notice the 
bumble bee, the small child, 
and the smiling faces. 
Smell the rain, and 
feel the wind. Live 
your life to the fullest 
potential, and fight 
for your dreams.
            Ashley Smith

I like 
the tiny bird 
in the corner






Behind the screen 
of the ordinary
can be found 
unique and
wonderful things.
  Ted Kooser


This is the back of 
the flowers partially 
visible above!






Remind me
that all of this,
every bit of it,
is for love.
Keep me fiercely kind.
     Laura Jean Truman





Some people,
no matter how old they get,
 never lose their beauty -
they merely move it
from their faces
into their hearts.
      Martin Buxbaum

At dusk I see
A Rosy Tower, Blooming blush
In twilit hour. Rising as the
Shadows cower Above the hills,
In silent power. Landscape, dark,
O velvet sea, Tugging at
The heart of me Photograph
Of fleeting peace, Where sun and night
Dance, then release. Night wings come to flower Beneath the Rosy Tower. Branches brush
The cooling air, Whispering
Beauty everywhere. Those colors spun
From dusk and gold. No one can command,
Nor any hold.
This fleeting gift,
The day’s last hour Retreating
To her Rosy Tower. Cloudia Charters

  2. Cool post! I think Pixie likes the tiny bird in the corner, too, but maybe in a different way... I also like the rainbow shot.
