52 Weeks in Nature – Week 13 | Hawaii Landscape Photographer

Take Me Away

With the clouds rolling in 
My soul starts to spin 
The crazy feelin' that i love 
Takes me away 
Beyond and above 
The drumming beat 
Fills my head 
I jump out of my bed 
The one made of tears 
And run to the window 
I silently watch 
My own private show 
When it becomes to hard 
To hold myself back 
I break the window to shards 
Jump into the rain 
Yelling take me away

Such a lovely family

on a gorgeous evening

in a stunning location!

Can't get much better than that!

The brilliant kernel of the night,
The flaming lightroom circles me:
I sit within a blaze of light

Held high above the dusky sea.
Far off the surf doth break and roar
Along bleak miles of moonlit shore,

Where through the tides the tumbling wave
Falls in an avalanche of foam
And drives its churned waters home
Up many an undercliff and cave.

Big Sister To Be | Hawaii Maternity Photographer

Posted on March 20, 2010

I was so happy to have

a few minutes with these two!

Sam is in my daughter's gymnastics class

and I've admired her beautiful Mom

and her way of exuding peace on those around her.

This is what you get 

when you ask a 2 year old

to do something they think is silly.

Doesn't she have just the most

AMAZING eyes?

Is it just me, or do you see the

Old Soul peeking out at you?

I can not wait

for her little sister to be born!

I have such a cute idea for a picture!

Just as the bird sings

or the butterfly soars,

because it is his natural characteristic,

so the artist works.

52 Weeks of Nature – Week 10 | Hawaii Landscape Photographer

Posted on March 8, 2010

I have been wanting to take a walk

around Mokapu Point

for a couple of months now.

I finally did this week.

The ocean has been a bit stormy

the past few weeks.

High winds, cloudy days,

passing rain showers…

I know what you are thinking!

Poor Thereasa!  Living in Hawaii!

Brings to mind Conan O'Brian's Sketch

with Triumph the Dog.

"Oh!  Poor Hawaii, a little cloud!"

Well, I happen to like the stormy seas.

They have a beauty and majesty of their own.

It boggles the mind with how strong the waves are

and all the different directions the water can move at once.

I am in awe.

This crab was being battered by wave after wave

and yet was never washed away!

Talk about strength!

On my way back to the car,

I saw this post

and it made me chuckle!

I had to share. :D

Isn't it amazing where trees and plants

choose to live?

This one has been here

for quite a while

judging by it's size!

Edited to add new versions of the above images

after playing with some different processing.

I like the images above,

but for me

they just did not "wow" me

and so I was a little disappointed in myself.

I kept coming back to them,

trying to figure out

just what they needed.

They needed to look like what I see

when I look at the scene

in real life.

These are MUCH closer

and I am much happier with them.

I hope you are, too.
