Of Fence

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!
Railings are little sky fences

“ Dwell on 
the beauty of life. 
Watch the stars,
 and see yourself
 running with them.” 
                               Marcus Aurelius








Why 
am I taking this picture?
When would it 
EVER be
appropriate
to use it?











The gate is open! It's never open.
Gotta shoot THAT.

But what am I ever
going to do with
these toilet pictures?










Just then,
I noticed a fellow 
working in the yard.

He saw me shooting,
and rushed over -
NOT to throw me out;
But to POSE!

The photo below
is the reason
for this entire post -

No offence! OK?




Strangers
are just friends
you haven't
met yet














“ We sometimes encounter people, 
even perfect strangers, 
who begin to interest us
 at first sight, somehow 
suddenly, all at once, 
before a word 
has been spoken. ”
                           Fydor Dostoevsky

My World
is a happy place,
today a region
full of grace.

Funny how
we hide our sweets,
perhaps afraid
we don't deserve
such treats?

But trudge-ery
feels fit.

Joy? Success?

We feel guilty
uncertain
of it!

" Don't boast!
Don't crow!
That's not the 
side to show. "

Well I'm gonna
dare it,
gonna up
and share it!

I feel great
and grateful
today!

I hope you do too,
or will real soon,
that's what I say
by the light
of my full moon.

throws out roots

- and the roots spring up 
and make new trees."
