I love Hawaii.

 My late Auntie Mildred loved Hawaii and has visited there since the early 40's.   She has always said that this headpiece was  placed on her head by Hilo Hatti -- it's one of those family stories that could be true!   Her first documented trip to Hawaii was in 1946 or '48  on the Lurline ship.  She even clipped out ads from a magazine. 

This photo montage is for Auntie Mildred.  The photo in the heart-shaped lens is my Auntie Mildred, taken in the 50's on a beach in Honolulu.

One more try

Posting another photo from Hawaii (Buddhist temple grounds), just to try again and see if I can link this blog to FaceBook.

Another Hawaii photo

and a test blog. A friend helped link my blog to FaceBook, so in theory, when I post here, it's supposed to also go to FaceBook. Keep your fingers crossed.

This photo was taken at the Buddhist temple we visited. I loved the bare tree trunks.

Hula girls

I'm working on my Hawaii photos: loved this one of my granddaughters. They had seen the dancers the night before and with very little encouragement started their own performance.

Hawaii here we come

Working on travel arrangements to Oahu in March, so these fabric leis seemed to be a good subject today. I'm using the clear glass mannequin head, although I'm not sure I included enough of it in the photo. What do you think? I also used Topaz simplfy on this image. It's all about color!
