Windows

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The windows of the houses
– even if the house is ramshackle –
are always beautiful because
windows represent light!
   Mehmet Murat ildan







To a clear eye
the smallest fact is
a window through which
the infinite may be seen. Thomas Huxley









Throw open the windows
of your soul to the sun.
If you do not, the sun
will soon set, and
you with it.
    Marcus Aurelius









It's like a kid standing
at the window
watching the rain.
  Haruki Murakami






Stop the flow
of your words.
Open the window
of your heart and
let the spirit speak.
Rumi

Bear In Mind *

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Dare to love yourself
as if you were a
rainbow with gold
at both ends.
  Aberjhani







"Wind Blown" 
That's my umbrella for scale


- just remember, the storm doesn't last forever. It can scare you; it can shake you to your core. But it never lasts. The rain subsides, the thunder dies, and the winds calm to a soft whisper. And that moment after the storm clouds pass, when all is
silent and still, you find peace.
Quiet, gentle peace.
      S.L. Jennings











Love comforteth like
sunshine after rain.     
    William Shakespeare










Never Met Cousin Dive O.
Different branches of the Charters
Clan I suppose. 





Hey!
It IS a mural!





You don’t need to be the tide to rise and fall, you don’t have to be a wave to touch the shore; just be a little sand-grain and feel them all. Munia Khan

How 2 Sunday

A L O H A From Honolulu!

See, we are in heaven now,
because the earth is
a spaceship, and
heaven is space.
   Alan Watts




People aren't either
wicked or noble. They're 
like chef's salads, with
good things and bad things
chopped and mixed together
in a vinaigrette of
confusion and conflict.
   Lemony Snicket


















Strong people can
always afford to be gentle,
only the weak are
intent on
FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE...
   Napz Cherub Pellazo









Come and rest your
bones with me...





i'm driving slow
on this day...
lazy Sunday...
Napz Cherub Pellazo






Shell Ginger

I may disagree with you,
but I am not against you.
 Marushia Dark






Every creature has a
right to be on this Earth.
Who am I to disrupt
the natural order?
"Respect" is a good word
worth handing down
to our children.

Laurence Overmire

Answering

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Like the moon
I have learned
to be beautiful
in darkness.
Collette O'Mahony





Look at the bright side

of life and the bright

side will look at you.

The reflections we send

out always return.

From far, from eve and morning,
And yon twelve-winded sky,
This stuff of life to knit me
Blew hither: here am I.
     E. M. Forster






Angels descending,
bring from above,
echoes of mercy,
whispers of love.     
Fanny J. Crosby



















There is an energy field
between humans. And,
when we reach out
in passion, it is met
with an answering passion
and changes the
relationship forever.
    Rollo May

And Pet Pals!

Out There

A L O H A From Honolulu!







Different times, different directions,
changing seasons, yield different,
changing sights. 

Photography is an austere
and blazing poetry of the real.
    Ansel Adams









Four Palms

Photography deals exquisitely
with appearances, but nothing
is what it appears to be.
    Duane Michals











Taking pictures is like tiptoeing
into the kitchen late at night
and stealing Oreo cookies.
  Diane Arbus







The camera is an instrument
that teaches people how to
see without a camera.
     Dorothea Lange






If you are out there shooting,
things will happen for you.
If you’re not out there,
you’ll only hear about it. Jay Maisel






It’s one thing to
make a picture
of what a person
looks like,
it’s another thing to
make a portrait of
who they are.
Paul Caponigro
