Back from Islands

Some of my favorite times are those spent in Hawaii. This holiday was spent enjoying the flowers, turtles and ocean views.

We explored Maui from high… (if you look close enough you can see the ocean in the far distance).

And Oahu low…

I must always stop on every trip to Hawaii to visit my friends the Sea Turtles…I love to be reminded how to relax, bask in the sun, remember to come up for air, and simply float through life.

 

As always, I am fascinated by the island flora and their vivid tropical colors they paint the island with.

Here are some of my pictures of the flowers which caught my eye…

White and pink water lilies:

The bird of paradise flower:

The fragrant Plumeria flowers:

And a personal favorite…Orchids:
 
Being from the desert, I have to say the highlight of my trip was visiting Ali`i Kula Lavender on Maui.

I will be blogging about my visit in the future…stay tuned! 
Thank you to all my new followers and I look forward to visiting your blogs.
