Do you know how long it takes to edit a slide show? It seems like forever, but I finished the video this morning. Two months may as well have been two years. I love looking at this slide show because being in Hawaii for that long was magical. Most people go for a week or two. Now, I wish I had stayed longer.

For those of you who don’t know me well, I hate to make plans. I had to plan for two months and more (what would I do on my return?). Finally, I sat down with many photos and created a slide show of my two months in the Fiftieth state.

What was special about my time there?

• Soft and Gentle Trade Winds Keeping Me Cool Twenty-Four Hours a Day.
• Green and Lush, Everywhere I Looked.
• Birds I Have Never Seen Before.
• Big, Really Big Waves.
  • Sunsets, Golden Glowing & Sunset Watchers. It is a Passion.
  • Visiting With Friends. They Let Me See Their Hawaii
  • Flowers, More Than I Could Begin to Describe. What Were They?
  • Orchids
  • Volcanos That Chose Not to Errupt When I Was There.
  • Kind and Wonderful People Everywhere I went.
  • Pineapples.
  • Shaved Ice.
  • Octopus and Other Colorful Fish. Snorkeling in the Beautiful Blue Hawaiian Water.
  • Green Sea Turtles Deep Sleeping on the Beach.
  • Mojitos and Lava Flow.

The list could go on, but I don’t want to bore you. Maybe you could go to Hawaii sometime and experience another amazing place on our planet. Then, you will find your own memories and magic moments.

Enjoy the slide show. It is a bit long. Just remember, I am a photographer. It is hard to eliminate too many photos when there was so much to see and do.

Today, I am thankful for the adventures in my life and for your willingness to join me in my experiences.

Today and every day, I am Thankful.
