After 20 months our world widened again. Grateful to return to Kauai, reuniting with good friends, it was the proverbial feast for the eyes and soul. So accustomed to the comforting greys and forest greens of home, the scenery and colours of Hawaii were startlingly beautiful. 


Prior to the days of digital photography where it’s too easy to amass 25,000 photos on one’s phone (my guilty conscience needs no accuser), on vacation I would limit myself to one roll of 36 or 72 shots. This method encouraged more direct interaction with my surroundings, rather than viewing all things beautiful through a screen. Limiting the quantity made me focus on the quality of my photos. Those days are gone. 

Learning a lesson from the past, rather than inundating this post with images, overloading your brain like the memory capacity of my phone, here is a handful of the best examples of colour and scenery from our trip.

    Oh, so nice to get away after so many days “stuck” at home. Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing. Never too many for me, however. AP&LT just returned from 11 days in Florida (Sarasota and Sanibel Island. Another paradise. I’m comfortable here at home.
