April 14, 2008. Monday morning and on my way to the office in Mililani.
I saw beautiful cloud formations on this beautiful spring morning and after many days of vog from the Big Island (Island of Hawaii) volcano it was clearing up.
I chased the sun down Mililani side streets until I found a perfect shot of morning sunlight glowing around a large palm tree high above the rooftop of a home.
Click!
I was so pleased when I saw the result.
I caught another view with a little more blue to the sky but same concept and zoomed out a little.
I can't decide which one is nicer :)
When I arrived at the office look what was on the bush outside! Morning sunlight on a perfectly bloomed hibiscus.
And then I got bombed with work straight through until 3pm.
What a beautiful and productive day.

Hi Sally,

Fabulous photos....Love the hibiscus!! Thanks for sharing a bit of Hawaii with those of us who aren't quite so lucky!
Janice Slaven
Woo-Hoo; those are awesome!!! What photo program do you use to add the borders, etc? Whatever it is, it makes the pictures even more beautiful (which is almost impossible) than it is.
Suzanne: Sure was! I can't believe what I do with a few extra minutes in the morning!
Thanks so much Brian...that was a very nice compliment :)
Janice: I'm so glad you and everyone else is enjoying them...that makes those few minutes clicking....worthwhile!
George: Sometimes that Kodak works better than my Canon :)
