Here I am.. Nope this wasnt in Hawaii... It was only around 30 degrees out :) :) My friend from the mainland sent me this shot he took when I went out shooting the sunset with him one evening. OK you can all get up off the floor from laughing!!! It was a great sunset :)

A Passing Monk at Ala Moana Beach Park... :) Actually there were 2 monks.. one was tooo blurry so he got cropped off.. So sorry Mr. Monk... They were taking my picture when I was taking a shot of the sunset. I looked up and they were laughing.. So as they walked past I took their picture.. :) They paused just briefly for me.. I thought it was amazing that the girl just happened to be sitting there watching the sunset as they walked past. :)

Today the girls (my daughter and her 2 friends) got together and we went out to the beach for some shots. None turned out as well as we all had hoped so we are going to do this again soon... They are looking for just the right look.. Oh well.. It was lots of fun as you can see and we saw 3 whales.. Shucks I had the wrong lens on.. (good excuse for not being quick enough :) But maybe my shooting partner Annie will post her whale shot.. :) She was much more alert than I.. :)

Seasons Greetings from Ali'iolani Hale. Built in 1874 and was originally intended to be a palace. Instead, Ali'iolani Hale ("house of the heavenly King") became the Supreme Court and Parliament government office building. In the courtyard is the Gold Leaf statue of Kamehameha the Great. When Kamehameha V laid the cornerstone, a time capsule was buried there. It contains Hawaiian postage stamps, 21 Hawaiian and foreign coins, 11 different local newspapers, the Hawaiian Kingdom constitution, a calendar and books. It also contains photos of royal families. Some trivia I found on various web sites. :) :)
