Abundant pink frangipani (plumeria) happily dominate this view - brightening my disposition considerably. These are typically the flowers species used to make leis and culturally, can designate the relationship status of women when worn behind the ear. Lovely, bright and inviting positive thoughts, these flowers are in stark contrast to the depressing budgetary news that continue to cloud the educational institutions. Dealing with the economic conditions has been a struggle and heart-wrenching, as well - hopefully, the cloud will show its silver lining (trying to stay optimistic!). 7th Ave N & Bougainvillea, Naples, FL
