Equal Delights

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Dawn breaks bright,
Made it through the night.
Each choice can be
a hopeful start,
To mend your soul
and heal our hearts.
Cloudia Charters



When you are full of love,
it confuses those who
are full of nonsense.
     Pixie



Walking Iris, also known as
Neomarica
or Apostle Plant


Not being able to govern events,
I govern myself. Michel de Montaigne

    How clear this man's eyes are behind the beard!!
    Yes indeed the last quote that few pleasures can compare to the presence of a friend we trust!!

    The second photo is stunning. His life has been lived well and still is. He may not live to be the oldest person on planet earth, but he looks happy with his life.

    All Iris blossoms seem surreal in their beauty but the walking iris with all those different colors is just amazing.
