Ripple & The 5 O'clock Shadow

He said he liked the lipstick

But not the lip...

No, I'm not suggesting

You have any wine

To help you understand

This frame of mind

Well I turned up the volume

On a little Spanish guitar

Sat in the tub

Though wasn't so very far

When I began to read

About that mosque (or 15 story middle finger) ,

(95 yr old St. Nicholas Church destroyed)  

All those Martyrs

 &

The seduction of Cordoba

When I figured

It was time

To pour me a drop

But my mind 

It had wandered

To all that Shiraz

  A malfunction on the forklift

At a $150.00 a pop

&

Marquis plans

To recoup the loss?

Still kinda wished

It simply a been Ripple (amusing youtube link)

Running past the dimple

On some 5 O'clock shadow..

Course, it was just my imagination~

Lastly,

our old gray learning the meaning of longsuffering-

Summertime

Tuesday mix~

I didn't exactly hit my camera (remember I dropped it)..though I felt like it!Well I took out the memory card this morning and uploaded the pictures that were in it, then went outside and took these. I had to turn it on and off between shots because all the settings would flip from one to the next on me really fast.
Anyhow, these are some of the new Sunflowers that came up this week..a tad later than I liked, but they were from seed..
I'm sitting here in the house with the fan on as it's been awfully humid today! So I thought you might enjoy this commercial too- (wink wink)

Thanks for lettig me share my Sunflowers with you~

Snippets of Serenity

This was pretty serene..and not to far from here (you think I would of jotted down the name?)- was another ranch in the town of Waimea. This was more of an outing than on an errand.

(Little video of donkey's in the pasture- late afternoon)

To-day, O hearken, nor your folly mourn

For time mispent, that never will return..

But see the sons of vegetation rise,
And spread their leafy banners to the skies.
All-wise Almighty Providence we trace
In trees, and plants, and all the flow'ry race;
As clear as in the nobler frame of man,
All lovely copies of the Maker's plan.
The pow'r the same that forms a ray of light,
That called creation from eternal night
Taken from (Thoughts on The Works of Devine Providence)
~Phillis Wheatley 1754- 1784

(different view of the ranch)

This area is peppered with Jacaranda trees -

The way home along the Hamakua Coast..

Notice how glassy the sea was-

Cows transformed in Sepia

Tell Me If She Laughs Or Cries..

Mountain trails (last weekend)
A mix of scenery, a little poetry with a few short videos and a birthday wish-

If this be all

'While all the good I would impart,

The feelings I would share

Are driven backward to my heart

And Turned to wormwood there;

If clouds must ever keep from sight

The glories of the Sun

And I must suffer Winter's blight

Ere Summer has begun

If life must be so full of care

Then call me soon to Thee;

Or give me strength enough to bear

My load of misery"

Ann Bronte

So I made a wish~

Blow Away Dandelion..

Figure of Queen Liliuokalani found along the trail..

statue wasn't wearing high heels..

 Should we climb this tree daddy?

She slipped off but didn't roll (ha ha)

(Lehua Blossoms)

Happy Birthday party at the end of the day..

Drive By Shooting, Pt. 1

Two trips (one I made by myself) over the last two weeks- 

See me thinking about the next post? (lol)

Some pit stops-

 Ohia blossoms

 Death, in contrast

 Shaded in vibrance-

 She could of sat anywhere..yet chose the yellow daisy's to frame her face-

 Big Owl came swooping in front of us on the way home..he looked so majestic..and it appeared that it was clearly his turf. I probably spent too much time fumbling with my phone?

 Tree talk- Look, I was shot!

Still contemplating my next post...
