It was a beautiful morning, as I RELAXED on our Lanai, just as a rooster past by.

Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii

After a nice swim, I laid on the lounge chair and looked up thru the Palm Trees and thought what a great photo that would be, so I took one!  The rainbow and colors are fun with the sun coming thru the palms!

Kona, Hawaii, Hawaii

We took a ride around Kona, it is much greener than the area we are staying.  It was a fun and a rewarding drive because we saw so many beautiful things.  The flowers in Hawaii are gorgeous and they are everywhere!  I love these Golden Trumpets in amongst the greenery!

What a great place to sit and RELAX, where I think of the past and what happened on this land back in the 1800’s?

Mount Vernon, Virginia

I love the gardens at Mount Vernon and I love butterflies, so it was a perfect day of both!

Sunflowers

Harvest time is close with these Sunflowers full of sunflower seeds.  I love the color and look of sunflowers!  Did you know that Sunflowers follow the sun?  Their petals are designed to absorb as much sun as possible and they swivel to reach the best sunlight.  In Italy they are called Girasole which literally means turn the sun, meaning they turn and follow the sun.  FUN!!

Mountain?

We were driving along the freeway as the sun was setting over Baltimore.  I grabbed my camera and took this photo with the setting sun behind a mountain, or is it?  I showed it to our son, Benjamin and he knew right away what it was, because he knows there are no mountains in Baltimore.  What is it?  Well, it is a type of mountain, a mountain of salt ready for the winter.

Bumble Bee & Flowers

While visiting the Benjamin Franklin Museum, we went outside where they have a structure that shows where Benjamin’s house once stood. There in the area that would have been the courtyard are some beautiful flowers. As I was taking photos of them, a Bumble Bee came by and enjoyed the different and very colorful flowers.
