Thursday Theme Song...oh, I'm a...

This old song was suggested to me by my brother Clint, who loves to sing and loves to travel. The photos are taken from Clint and Maria's recent trip to the island of Kauai in Hawaii. The song is from our youth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0janfcZ8LUw

I'm visiting with them, following a visit with our younger brother, and I'll be home sometime tomorrow. Looking forward to Dick and Lindy meeting me at our little local airport.

Weekend Reflections: Pono Kai koi

© Photos by Kay Davies and Richard Schear, 2010

When we stayed at the Pono Kai Resort on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, our balcony overlooked this large koi pond (these photos don't show its full size) and we enjoyed the many reflections on the slightly-rippled surface of the water.

Shadow Shot Sunday 2: leaf shadows here

Oh yes, the rocks make larger shadows, but I took this photo on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, in December, 2010, because of all the little shadows made by the leaves of this groundcover plant.

For Real Toads: my husband's photos

Several days ago, Kerry asked us if she might use some of my husband's photos as prompts for the writers' group Imaginary Garden with Real Toads. Dick was very flattered and soon we were both exhausted after going through our many travel photos as well as the pictures he takes when walking our dog Lindy. Much to our surprise, Kerry snaffled a photo from my blog to add to the mix: one of my husband (in which I missed his head) walking a very happy Lindy in the snow.

to resist the Mongol hordes

they built a wall with many a stair

dynasties from Qin to Ming

fortified the very air

a hole in the jungle

looks out to sea

and I look out there, too,

to see

hoar frost, hard frost,

would you kill a tree?

not an easy thing to do

on the lone prair-ie

oh, deer, where can our mamas be?

Lindy so long at us stares
