Honolulu Streets, Skies, Trees

 A  L  O  H  A  !
Valley Behind the Ball Field

Take rest;  a field that 

has rested gives 

a beautiful crop.

Ovid






Wisteria __________

The ideal space must 

contain elements of magic, 

serenity, sorcery and 

mystery. 

   Luis Barragan








Kaimuki High School @ Kapiolani Blvd

To find joy in work 

is to discover the 

fountain of youth. 

Pearl Buck












The cost of a thing is 

the amount of what 

I call life which is required 

to be exchanged for it,
 
immediately or 

in the long run.

Henry David Thoreau






I've always enjoyed traveling 

"off the beaten path" 

and into the unknown, 

especially when it's 

so close to home.

Together We Have

A  L  O  H  A  From Honolulu!

Beneath torrents of spring rain, 

buds come to life - 

and we do too, beneath 

torments of tears.

John Geddes












Pessimism leads to weakness, 

optimism to power. 

      William James






I am the Spirit's janitor.... 

all I do is wipe the windows a bit, 

so you can see out for yourself.

                        Godfrey Chips - Lakota







Spring is a mixture of storms & blue skies.

How appropriate THIS year,

which is a mixture of Hope and

Progress after a year of coping,

suffering, small victories,

and loss.

Thank YOU

For holding hands

with us

throughout!

Wednesday Wings

 A  L  O  H  A  From Honolulu!


You must stick 

to your conviction, 

but be ready to abandon 

your assumptions.

      Denis Waitley













Towered cities please us then, 

and the busy hum of men. 

John Milton




















And as we fly, we still may not 

know where we are going to. 

But the miracle is in the unfolding 

of the wings. You may not know 

where you're going, but you know 

that so long as you spread 

your wings, 

the winds will carry you.

 C. JoyBell C.














Dark, cool, musty, smoky, 

where light fell funny and 

everyone looked 

like someone you 

knew or wanted to know. 

Or, more likely, 

wanted to forget.

  David Baldacci


When I pass the bar, 
you'll be barred from bars 
but put behind them.
Natalya Vorobyova






Laughter is poison to fear.

George RR Martin

Songs Resume

A  L  O  H  A  From Honolulu!
When you come out of 

the storm you won't be 

the same person 

who walked in. That's 

what this storm's 

all about.

Haruki Murakami







Every Morning This Time of Year!

It is the sign of a great mind 

to dislike greatness, and to 

prefer things in measure 

to things in excess.   
  
Lucius Annaeus Seneca


Rainbows are the perfect 
measure of light, 
droplets, and appreciator.

That's US!





Honolulu Historic Chinatown Link
These sidewalks and curbs
are 19th Century! My favorite
district on Oahu. Wait,
Waikiki is a great home.
I sort of love the mountains
too. Don't forget the jungle!







Mickey Mouse Plant - Ochna serrulata







You must pass your days 

in song. 

Let your whole life 

be a song. 

Sai Baba


᭛᭛᭛᭛᭩

After the ghost-town times
of lock-down, Waikiki
and Oahu are coming back
to life. Some of us are
still waiting the vaccines
[should get to my youthful
age-group perhaps this
month] while also minding
the precautions that got
us this far. It's a wonder
what adult leadership 
can accomplish in under
60 days, after
4 years of tumult.
It feels good to see
human activity!
Dark hotels shine
their windows again.

The rainbows bravely
appear every morning.

Thank YOU
for appearing here
like the rainbow.
You bring even more
beautiful colors
to us all!

Love You,

                   Cloudia & Pixie

Compassion Makes You Strong

 A  L  O  H  A From Honolulu!


To be inspirational is to be 

crazy enough to live a little.

 Criss Jami








Exclude yourselves from the 

inflammatory environs of fools.

Michael Bassey Johnson












A star does not compete 

with other stars around it; 

it just shines.

Matshona Dhliwayo










I have always loved their logo.
Big Blue here is new to me!
Old Original:



The most important thing 

in business is a persona, 

And when they think about you,

 you've got to stand out 

in their minds--like

 one of those characters 

in a novel.

Candace Bushnell



Ok. It's a graphic, NOT a mural. Hope you'll pardon my near miss, Mural fans!









Compassion makes you strong, 

caring and creative. It creates 

a different attitude, a level of 

maturity and understanding, 

where you do something which 

makes you stand out of crowd.

              Amit Ray





Won't Find ME standing in a Crowd!

Be an encourager.

The world has plenty

of critics already.

                   Dave Willis

Many Faces

 A  L  O  H  A   From Honolulu!

I never tire of rainbows. May they never tire of me!

The future is always 

beginning now.

     Mark Strand





Real generosity toward the future 

lies in giving all to the present.

                Albert Camus





It takes a lot of imagination 

to be a good photographer.  . .

in photography everything 

is so ordinary; it takes a 

lot of looking before you 

learn to see the ordinary.

 David Bailey







Lilies Sillies









Getaway, N. Shore Oahu

Sometimes you need 

to step outside, 

get some fresh air and 

remind yourself 

of who you are and 

who you want to be.

Gossip Girl 






A positive attitude gives you 

power over your circumstances 

instead of your circumstances 

having power over you. 

                                Joyce Meyer
