Life has been good. Jon and Casey stayed at my place while they were here from March 11-15. Sorry no pictures.
Monday, March 17...
Erick, Shun Wah and I got together to enjoy the St. Patrick's Parade and the Zoo. It really has been a long time since we have gotten together to take/make pictures.
Saint Patrick's Day or the Feast of Saint Patrick was well celebrated during this parade.
Knowing that the parade was going to end at Kapiolani Park, we decided to go to the Zoo which is near by. Only draw back was that most of the animals were having an afternoon snooze. Hense, not many pictures.
I had no idea that the gibbons had a baby. I thought the female was sleeping but turned out she was nursing her baby (which is what a baby Gibbon is called). Baby seems to have enjoyed his/her meal.

Erma also got to stay with me for about a week. On her last day, she finally got to enjoy malasadas and Dole soft serve Pinapple ice cream from Leonard's bakery. I was pleasantly surprised about the pineapple ice cream being there. What a great send off plus the following pictures of the sun setting.

I was hoping for a green flash but this boat approaching completely blocked the sun as it was going down. Uggh. (Lol, maybe there was no green flash.)
Wednesday, March 26… (State holiday Prince Kuhio Day, in honor of Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole)
Our photo assignment for this week is macros. I am really enjoying Scott Kubo's class. We have experimented with different filters. (near infrared, polarizer and neutral density)

I was able to trade in my 60mm macro at Lighthaus Camera and pay the difference for the 100mm macro. Yippee. They even said that my Canon T5i has enough megapixels to allow me to crop and get clarity. It worked!!!

ooh..i like the colors and effects of your parade and zoo pics. That's an awesome shot of the bee..that's way too close...
Niiiiice shots, Ce!
Shun Wah, thanks - I got to see your parade pics - you got great shots. For the bee, I did crop a lot - did not want to get the bee upset.
Jalna, thanks - it was fun.
Great parade pix! You go the guy with the green tongue too, funny. Great zoo shots too.
Erick, thanks- he certainly was sporting green. I still wish I could get pix of my favorite animals: Rusty and Violet - the orangoutangs.
