Yesterday

We drove the Hawaii equivalent of the PCH on steroids--one lane, the best part paved like mom and dad's driveway. It's like driving to heaven and back on the road from hell. Voltaire had Hana in mind when he sent Candide to El Dorado. He had Hana in mind when he had Candide and Co. leave El Dorado with sheep loaded with gold and end up home emptyhanded, to tend their little garden. It was a perfect activity for Sunday.

And I took a photo for you. Just one. It's cows. There's lots of pictures of Maui beaches on the internet, but you may not fully appreciate the Maui cows:

It's All About Maintaining Proper Perspective

Have a happy Sunday everyone

because in the new creation

there may not be any sea...

How you know you have come to the right place...

Spontaneous Generation

I had this conversation with my daughter over the weekend...

Me: "You absolutely have to clean the birdcage today--it's gross"

Her: "But it's not that bad! There's no plants growing in it!"

Me: "Uhh...plants?"

Her: "Yeah! Remember that one time there was plants growing in it. And beetles! I created life in the birdcage!"

Apparently cleanliness keeps her a notch below godliness. She'll be cleaning the birdcage just a little more often going forward.

A Photo Assignment

Today we had a field trip in photography class. Go to this well-known downtown area and photograph first like a tourist and next like an art photographer. Immediate discomfort. Not a place I would go as a tourist, not feeling artsy. Not so bad though in the end. I think I ended up photographing why I don't go here as a tourist. Here's a few...

Pleased to discover that I can successfully operate the camera in manual mode...most of the time.
