Some Powdered Gold

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Oh, the summer night,

Has a smile of light,

And she sits on

a sapphire throne. Barry Cornwall

Walk in the Woods
Subtropical Edition

Green was the silence,

wet was the light, the

month of June trembled

like a butterfly.

Pablo Neruda

Flower Fall Cascading

Down a Monkey Pod Tree

It was June, and the

world smelled of roses.

The sunshine was like

powdered gold over

the grassy hillside.

Maud Hart Lovelace

Golden, Aged Leaf

One way of celebrating the Solstice

is to consider it a sacred time

of reflection, release,

restoration, and renewal. Sarah Ban Breathnach

What good is the

warmth of summer,

without the cold of winter

to give it sweetness.

John Steinbeck

The whole summer

was inside of us. Leah Raeder

I've got 99 problems,
but age ain't one!

You cannot keep birds from

flying over your head but

you can keep them from

building a nest in your hair.

Martin Luther

Architect & Arborist Collaboration

I choose a lazy person
to do a hard job.
Because a lazy person
will find an easy
way to do it.
Bill Gates

Lazy Day Under the Hawaiian Flag

You can't teach
people to be lazy-
either they have it,
or they don't.
Dagwood Bumstead

Dance Of The Palm Trees

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Your character is

your guardian divinity. Heraclitus

Nu'uanu Stream *

What a joy it is to feel the soft,

springy earth under my feet

once more, to follow grassy roads

that lead to ferny brooks where I

can bathe my fingers in a cataract

of rippling notes, or to clamber

over a stone wall into green

fields that tumble and roll

and climb in riotous gladness!

Helen Keller

Royal Poinciana

There's nothing so kingly

as kindness, and

nothing so royal

as truth

Alice Cary,

'Nobility'

The dance of the palm trees,
the oceans calling,
the first rays of sun,
and heaven is here.
Michael Dolan

The coconut trees,

lithe and graceful,

crowd the beach like a minuet

of slender elderly virgins

adopting flippant poses. William Manchester

We may not be their favorite,
but we are their blessing.

I have a thing about angels.

I believe in them.

I feel like I have

a guardian angel.

I think everybody has one.

Sheryl Lee

* Nuʻuanu Stream is a river in Honolulu, Hawaii running through Chinatown and the Arts District. The stream is an important part of the island's ecosystem, providing habitat for fish and wildlife, and supporting recreational activities like swimming and fishing. It flows out of Nuʻuanu Valley, one of the most historically significant neighborhoods in Hawaii, going back to ancient, pre-contact times, home to many legends, stories and historical events.
