Aloha!

It's been awhile since I've blogged, because I was on
vacation in Hawaii spending time with my dear sister and
niece.   My sister decided to celebrate her birthday in Hawaii
and invited me along to share in the fun.  Of course I couldn't
say no when my sweet hubby volunteered to stay home and
take care of our 2 furry kids.  Well that and a way to escape
the heat of 105 - 110 degree temperatures.



This was the gorgeous view looking out from the lanai on
our fourth floor condo.  



I captured this beautiful rainbow on a day it sprinkled
a few light raindrops.





We saw these beautiful peacock's on our morning walks each day.



I laughed as I captured this guy strutting his stuff, turning full
circle and wiggling his tale feathers.   No doubt he was trying
to charm the ladies.




Who could resist laying out by this pool?




We visited my sisters friends who own a vacation condo on
the 12th floor of this tower, overlooking this gorgeous view
from one side.


 
And another gorgeous view of the ocean on this side.
Oops, I wish I had taken photo's of the inside of their
beautiful condo.  Can you tell I was mesmerized with the
landscape and forgot about taking inside photo's?

I hope you enjoyed some of the photo's from my trip.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Wow, your photos are gorgeous! Looks like an amazing trip! I love seeing the beautiful blue color of the sea and the lush landscaping. So cool that you and your sister got to hang out together, especially in such a paradise. I hope to see Hawaii someday.

I've been MIA a bit lately too, but not for the same reason you had -- what a lovely vacation! Your rainbow photo is incredible. Thanks for the virtual trip!

What a view! Not so bad to be up that high when you can see that horizon ~

A trip to Hawaii sounds like heaven. From your pictures, it looks like it too! I've never been - something that must be corrected.

Allie said...

I would have been captivated by the landscape and seascape as well - who wants to look INDOORS in Hawaii, lol! So glad you had a good time hon!
