Delight Capacity

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The capacity for delight is
the gift of paying attention.
Julia Margaret Cameron



Creativity is like a puzzle,
and people contribute
different pieces to create
a bigger picture.
Kermit the Frog







Experience nature, and
in doing so learn
about yourself. Japanese Proverb


Everyone you meet
has a child inside.
So do you and I.
Act accordingly.


Think of something
you need to do,
then don't do it.
That's relaxation!



Happiness is a process,
not an unwavering
state of rest. Shed your tear.
Then cherish your delight.

She is Photographer & Subject.
I wonder if another put us both
in a third photo?

The creative act lasts
but a brief moment, a
lightning instant of give-and-take,
just long enough for you to
level the camera and to
trap the fleeting prey
in your little box.
  Henri Cartier-Bresson




How does the man in the
moon cut his hair?
  Eclipse it.





I'm not concerned with your
liking or disliking me. All I
ask is that you respect me
as a human being.
 Jackie Robinson

The great geniuses are those
who have kept their
childlike spirit and have
added to it breadth of
vision and experience.
