Did you miss me? I haven’t been posting as often as usual because I found myself in paradise. Although it would be great to blog from Oahu, I found myself otherwise occupied. Forgive me! =)
The following photographs were taken on a visit to Waimea Valley, where they have a beautiful botanical garden. Since I’d visited before, I recommended it to my friends and we headed out to explore.The colors were SO amazing and I had a relaxing time buzzing from flower to flower.
After we had taken in the many varieties of tropical flora with a lovely walk, we decided to cool off at a nearby beach. I’m not sure what it was named, but it was just south of Waimea Bay off Kamehameha Highway.

As we were standing on the shore with the waves lapping at our feet, we found that we were not alone in enjoying the water. A sea turtle was only about 6 feet away, just where the waves were breaking onto the shore. Can you spot him? =)
Keep your eyes open for the next couple of blog posts! I have a good amount of images yet to share!
These are so beautiful! I especially love your water shots, so fluid and tranquil!
Thanks Maryanne! I was surprised at a few of these when I got them out of the camera. I love when that happens! =)
Very lovely shots you got there! But don’t forget to have a little fun, too!
Haha, of course! We’ve been back for a few days now, but I did have an amazing time! =) I made it my goal to not have the camera in my face the whole time and just take in the experience!
awesome colors!!! I love the richness of the pictures!! my husband goes surfing every morning when we go to Hawaii and sometimes he’s out there with turtles and dolphins.
We didn’t try surfing… I think I’m a little too chicken! I bet it’s amazing to surf in Hawaii though. At least when you wipe out, you’re in the gorgeous warm water!
