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!

The nickel sized ilima flower is a Hawaii indigenous relative of the hibiscus and is one of a few native plants that has achieved popularity as a landscaping plant.  The ilima is the principal lei flower of pre-discovery Hawaii and conveys honor by associating the wearer with ancient traditions.  It is said to be a form of Laka, the goddess of hula.
