Hot Hazy Days in Hawaii

A  L  O  H  A !

" By all these lovely tokens 

September days are here, 

With summer's best of weather 

And autumn's best of cheer. "

                            Helen Hunt Jackson

Salt & Sea Spray are visible in the rays of the setting sun

Northern Bloggers are posting

 crisp blue skies. Soon 

we'll see their pumpkins, 

frost, flamboyant 

Autumn leaves. 

We feel the pleasure 

of our friends Down Under, 

as they enter Spring

and sing of her 

glories in flowers, 

birds and vistas.

But as Sun  departs

or rushes to you

she lingers over

Hawaii's Sub-Tropical

location.

These are hot hazy days,

warmer than our 

Summer was.

Trade Winds are OFF

as we dream of breezy

sunny winter ahead!

These afternoons are 

best spent in the shade.

Surf to soothe 

at dawn and dusk!

Thank YOU

so much for visiting!

Another Honolulu Building 

is featured in the brief post below-

Fence Sort Of

A  L  O  H  A !

This building has a 

false-front of mesh;

I like that we can see 

the Honolulu sky through it 

here at the corner.

“The fence that makes good neighbors
 needs a gate 
to make good friends”

Chief Running Cloud

as to have few wants, 

and to serve them 

one's self? "

console,

and grow

together.
