I haven't posted anything for a while - life got in the way. In July, my husband and I spent 18 glorious days exploring three islands in Hawaii: Oahu, Kawaii, and Maui. The landscape was so dramatic - lush green wrinkled mountains on every horizon. And the flowers were like something beyond my imagination. These pictures are a small sample of paradise.
