The purpose of this page is to challenge me to open my eyes and truly see the world which surrounds me. So often we trudge though our daily routine, too busy or preoccupied to notice the little miracles happening all around us. I hope to capture, through the lens of a camera, glimpses of my sometimes mundane but glorious little world. I will attempt to post one snapshot each day to share with you. Enjoy!

This is the flower of the Monkey Pod tree.  These grandiose, majestic trees have been been a favorite ornamental tree in Hawaii for over a century and are know for their natural umbrella shape and innumerable pink, powder-puff blossoms.  It's not uncommon to see the specimens foliage spreading out over a space of 150 feet across, providing some much desirable shade in the many public parks throughout the islands.
