I don't know if it's the pills I got from the dentist today, but I could stare at this for a loooong time, Stan. Just beautiful, and so much of the island feeling comes through. #355463

I just returned from Maui and didn't get one picture of this beautiful flower. Great job on this one! Just beautiful. #2211407Stanley J. Contrades December 22, 2005 0
Thank you very much for taking the time to visit and respond, Tamera, and am sorry that you were unable to photograph these wonderfully scented and beautiful blossoms. This is the time of year, though, when they stop blooming and most trees are becoming bare of both leaves and blossoms. Best wishes to you for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!Esther Smith January 01, 2006 0

Thank you for Visiting my newbee Gallery! I really enjoyed your comments and suggestions regarding my pictures. I didnt even know my wife posted my pictures, here till she said that a few people have responded to my newbee shots. I would love to get in to floral Photography. I did a macro shot of a fern but havent had much luck with flowers and could use some tips. Thank you again for your kind words. We live in Honolulu in the Makiki area. I have always loved film and only recently less than a week ago purchased a Canon 20D with the standard 18-55mm lens. Love your gallery! keep up the good work.Sumi and Lea #2436055
