We were blessed with glorious 80 degree weather the entire week (even though the weeks before were not nearly so pleasant). Heavenly....all those open air rooms, flowers in bloom, the beach, warmth, friends, and wonderful food. Following are a few shots from the trip:
The banyon trees that never cease to entrance me.
The giant "rope" above a Shinto (I think) shrine. Each strand about 20" in diameter.
Foo dog outside shrine.
Wedding couple in downtown Honolulu.
Tassels in Chinatown.
Some kind of bread balls that were dropped into boiling oil and continually stirred by women standing over the hot, hot burner until the balls were all evenly puffed. Fascinating to watch their rhythm, but mostly all I could think of was how tired their arms and shoulders must be at the end of the day.
Now to the second part of the subject line....snow. We awoke to snow this a.m. with 2 or 3 more days predicted before returning to rain. Have to get out in the a.m. to bring Kolya and little granddaughter Gigi here for a couple days. Hope the snow doesn't intefere.
Finally got back into the studio this afternoon for a couple hours and decided how to put together a piece that has been "resting" for a while. Felt great after not doing much for the last month or so. Time to get back at it again.

Gorgeous photos. I know very little of Hawaii, though I did see Descendents last week which is set there, and the countryside looks beautiful. I look forward to seeing what you are making. All the best, Carol xxoo
Descendants is on my "to see" list. The countryside (and other islands) are amazing. Honolulu is completely commercialized. I did love learning more about the history of Hawaii (Bishop Museum)...a fascinating, multicultural place.
Is your weather this hot??
