I am very touched by all the likes I have been receiving for this nature challenge.  Thank you very much!!! Thank you Caroline Bond Davis for nominating me. This photo was made on November 10, 2007. A photo instructor said, "me make photos instead of we take photos".

Sunrise from Lanikai Beach, 2/13/16

Sunrise from Lanikai Beach. I heard the sunrise would appear between the islands Moku Nui and Moku Iki. 

After breakfast Derek drove Milton S. and me back to his place. So happy to see this caterpillar.

And Derek's water lilies...

7 Day Nature Challenge, 12/22-28/15

Facebook friends were challenging each other to take the 7 Day Nature Challenge. These are mine. Admittedly I did not take these during those 7 days, I went with the suggestion of a friend just post a nature photo each day. Okay, I can do that.

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4

Day 5

Day 6

Day 7

I thanked Debbie Azama-Park and Eddie Freeman for nominating me. I ended my last post with "Everyone please take the challenge. Beauty surrounds us." By the way this last photo was of Akaka Falls and the black and white clown fish was taken at the Honolulu Aquarium.

Honolulu City Lights, 12/12/15

Wow, how did this year go by so quickly? This annual event is on the grounds of our City Hall "Honolulu Hale"

Inside of Honolulu Hale. With the Fuji X-T10, I chose only reds. 

I was thrilled when I saw her happiness.

Just a portion of a wreath.

I hope December 2016 does not come as quickly as this year did.

World of WearableArt, 11/29/15

All I can say is  wow!
Here is the link to WOW World of WearableArt. We are fortunate that Wellington, New Zealand is sharing their very creative/extraordinary pieces: their site shares that the human body is the canvas and that fashion/art/theater collide.

It was intriguing to see the 3 videos of the actual fashion show which does incorporate theater. I just grabbed one shot. (Actually 2 videos/screens are the same)

This is "Hands Off", 1998 done by Mark Crocker, received 2nd place for Bizarre Bra Section (science fiction and art nouveau inspired this bra)

There are more to see. I hope you get to see this in person. 

The showing is from Oct. 3, 2015-  Feb. 1, 2016
