Greased Lightning



Went to a craft fair and found a vintage auto show in the parking lot. Love the colors on this one.

Jurassic...beach?



Doesn't this look like a prehistoric creature wandering the beach? It's just the remnants of the roots of a long dead ironwood tree.

Lost Horizon


Dining Above Haiku Gardens

The sun was setting and we were in the restaurant overlooking the Gardens, so the glare is a bit too much, but the air was clear, showing the cut of the Koolau Mountains off nicely.

It is awfully reminiscent of that movie...paradise amid the mountains.

A study in contrasts



The stark contrast between Alaska and Hawaii reminds me of how fortunate I am to experience the extremes of nature's beauty.

Leaving Anchorage, in July, we flew over these glaciers in the Chugach (Kuskowim? my Alaska topography's not so good) mountain range...

Unusual Sunrise



Unusual in the sense that I am loathe to get up early enough to see a sunrise, much less have myself sufficiently organized to photograph one.

But I'd just flown into S. FL for a business meeting the night before, and was up early. We almost never get to stay on the ocean when I'm down there, so I could not pass up this photo op.

Four days at Bellows


A few days at the beach can change your whole perspective on life.

I kinda like this perspective, don't you?

Getting artsy at the mini-golf

Funny how the flash illuminating the hole makes the ball appear to float. And bless my husband for putting up with my obsession.

Now I must freshen my pedicure.

POV

Just goofing around, waiting for an appointment. This is the danger of carrying a camera everywhere you go...images of nothing in particular!

Love that macro setting



My new camera (Sony T-3) has a macro capability I've never had access to before. This shot was too tempting to pass up, in spite of my allergy to bee stings.

Since all my photography equipment was ripped off during a daylight home burglary, I carry this baby with me everywhere. Smaller than a pack of cigarettes, it fits nicely in a secured pocket in my purse.

Ho Hum, another day in Paradise

Took this shot at Bellows beach last Sunday. A perfect day...trades blowing, sun shining. Doesn't get much better than this!

What an interesting idea...

Not a writer or a journal-er by nature, but the idea of posting photos here to share was given to me by a cyber-buddy today.

We'll give this a shot...
