Buildings
Buildings, sparkling, bask in setting light, Seem cold, unliving, as they stand upright. Whilst deep within live hidden trials of souls, Ten thousand-fold, their stories seldom told. Behind the glaziers’ walls, hide deepest fears, Enjoining business mates ‘neath masks of cheer. Until return to shield of… Continue Reading “Buildings”
The Dark Before The Dawn
On this Good Friday, we are reminded that it is always darkest, before the dawn.

Zebra Dove
In response to the Weekly Photo Challenge prompt this week – REWARD, I selected this photo of a hungry (but patient) Zebra Dove, perched table side at the Princeville Hotel Cafe (Kauai, Hawaii). This uninvited member of our party sat quietly until we were done, and then reaped his reward!
Silent Sunday
A free bit of Islander’s advice, on display while en route from Charlotte-Amelie airport.
Leave-ing
A walk in the woods, as seen through the eyes of my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, choosing to heed my call, instead of romping freely through the leaves.
