Scenes from Hawaii

We are still organizing our photos from Hawaii. There are more than 1,000 photos, and we are deleting some. Before too long, I'd love to post some more nice ones.

Beautiful sunrise over Koko Head

Hurricane approached Hawaii.

Newspaper the day after the landfall of a hurricane.

Could have been a lot worse....

Super moon over Oahu. Ocean was lit by the moon. Beautiful.

Moonlit Ocean Earrings

A rather romantic name for earrings. I made this pair of earrings for my little sister who lives in Japan. We met up in Hawaii for a short vacation and did lots of catching up. Love you, sis!

Make me think of beaches in Hawaii.

How did I know you might like this color scheme?

Good vacations inspire me. More vacations, please!

Flowers in Hawaii 2014

Here are some pictures of the flowers we saw in Hawaii this year. Everything we saw was just so out of this world!

Plumeria smelled intoxicating. 

Some kind of wild orchid. Just surprising beauty everywhere.

Plumeria at the Royal Hawaiian courtyard. Love the pink outlines on yellow petals.

We took a little hike at Manoa Falls this year. A gem near Waikiki.

Indian banyan tree. Many many years old.

Manoa Falls. This spot feels a few degrees lower than the rest of the city.

Hawaii 2014

Just got back from our dream-like trip to Hawaii with my family. Hawaii was good to me. It healed me in ways no other place could. Must be something special in the air and the water. A little gem on earth.

Good morning, Koko Head! 

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

Nature's happy accidents are always beautiful.

Words cannot describe how relaxing this view is.

Vibrant and lively plants. Just like Hawaii itself.

More Hawaii photos to come!
