And we Are Happy Too

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Though we travel the 
world over to find the 
beautiful, we must carry it 
with us or we find it not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson






Adventure is 
worthwhile in itself.
Amelia Earhart 







Colorful maracas
Hanging as a curtain.
Mysterious and joyful
They whisper on the breeze.

I imagine we are dancing
in a faraway land.
The people are happy.
And we are happy too.

Now I know they are
more than just decor
They are a secret doorway
to another world.

If you dare step through,
You'll be transported,
To a place where
anything is possible.
     Cloudia Charters
 





The most important thing
 in portraiture is honesty, 
and to see the soul of the 
person you're photographing.
Elliott Erwitt

  1. Pixie looks like she's in position to play with those hanging maracas. I love the guy with his surf board, too. Happy Sunday.

  4. Each of these voices reminds us that beauty, truth, and adventure are not just found but lived, carried within us, revealed in art, and discovered in the journeys we dare to take.
