Mysterious in Oahu – a Photo Challenge
After pondering ‘mysterious’ for this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge I found some photos from our recent trip to Oahu that will work. See what you think. One morning I woke before sunrise to see the moon cast an eerie glow on the Ala Wai… Continue Reading “Mysterious in Oahu – a Photo Challenge”
Sunrise and Sunset at Turtle Bay
One of the highlights of any trip to Hawaii is watching the sunset over the Pacific, or depending on where you’re staying, sunrise. Rarely do you get to enjoy both at the same location. But on our recent trip to Hawaii, we spent half… Continue Reading “Sunrise and Sunset at Turtle Bay”
Cheer up Benji!
“What’s the matter, Benji? You look down in the dumps.” “I’m bored, Sue. There’s nothing to do.” “You could go outside, Benji. Lots to do out there.” “It’s freezing cold, Sue. You know that.” “You’re right. Now that you mention it, I’m feeling kind… Continue Reading “Cheer up Benji!”
The (Marvelous) Botanical Gardens of Oahu
I love visiting Hawaii, not only for the sunshine and beaches but also for the marvelous flora and fauna. What can be better than palm trees swaying in the breeze and giant banyan trees in the parks? I’m glad you asked! Because the best… Continue Reading “The (Marvelous) Botanical Gardens of Oahu”
Home Again, Home Again to Smokey Skies and Fall Color

Beach Kitties of Oahu
I miss these two when I’m gone. They miss me too. But at least I was able to get my fill of cats from the beach kitties of Oahu. Even so, it’s good to be back home. ~ Susanne
Postcards from Oahu
I told my husband before we left that I wouldn’t be blogging and I believed it; he did not. So as not to let him down, I thought I’d at least send some postcards to share the aloha from Oahu. Words will come in… Continue Reading “Postcards from Oahu”
Forty Years Ago – Anniversary Edition
I once had a conversation with my grandpa who told me he’d recently found himself saying ‘forty years ago’ and he remembered back when he was younger how some older folks would also say ‘forty years ago’ and wasn’t it curious that he now… Continue Reading “Forty Years Ago – Anniversary Edition”
A Photoshoot with the Hummingbirds
I love my Anna’s Hummingbirds and it’s been a while since I featured them. So yesterday I scrubbed and refilled their feeders with fresh sugar water and sat to watch as they dropped by. (Click to enlarge) The male Anna’s is the only hummer… Continue Reading “A Photoshoot with the Hummingbirds”
Dilapidated Trucks or Reclaimed Relics?
“A building or object in a state of disrepair or ruin as a result of age or neglect.” Yes, it’s another photo challenge from Sunday Stills and I didn’t plan on participating this week as I couldn’t find anything dilapidated. That is, until I… Continue Reading “Dilapidated Trucks or Reclaimed Relics?”
