Taken with my iPhone 4 and processed with Adobe Photoshop Mobile for iOS. I may redo the editing in the "real" Photoshop... or not... who knows, LOL!

Went to a friend's family home, (The Liljestrand House which is on the National Registry of Historic Places) to enjoy a wonderful, Sunday afternoon Hawaiian music concert. This is Haunani Apoliona. Aside from being a mean slack-key guitar player and singer whom I've watched perform over the last 15 years or so, is also a native Hawaiian activist.

She is also a member of the group Olomana who was performing here.

This is the invite highlighting my work at the Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens Gallery showing. Our soft opening will be on Sunday, November 6 from 3-5pm. The show will last for the month of November. Gallery hours are from 9am-4pm daily.

The theme of my pieces is "Kai." It is Hawaiian for "ocean" and is a collection of ocean photographs in Hawaii and the Philippines.

I will be showing with other artists highlighted on the other gallery invite.

For all of my Hawaii FLickr friends, I hope you all can make it a some point this month. I think you all will be delighted with all of the pieces shown by all of the artists. The Botanical Gardens itself is a wonderful place to spend your day. It is nestled right at the foot of the Ko'olaus on the Windward side. If it has been raining, the waterfalls will be numerous and breath-taking!

Hi, we're Julia and Penny. We're half Jack Russell and half Cavalier King Charles.

We don't know why Rex has been absent from Flickr for so long, but it's not our fault... so we're taking over his Flickr page until he's ready to post more!

I'm Julia on the left

...and I'm Penny on the right!

My brother and his wife came to visit for a week. A few nights ago we did a dinner cruise aboard the "Star of Honolulu" ship. It left Honolulu Harbor for a 2 hour cruise to Diamond Head and back!

You can see, I wasn't the only one shooting...

A common theme I noticed throughout the island of Siquijor, was fishermen on outrigger canoes. From sunup to sundown, they were a constant sight all around... I can only imagine the peace of mind that must come from being out there, in very tranquil waters, watching the sky and sea turn into a painting!

This was taken in the evening from inside the karaoke hut looking out to sea. It was my last shot of the day!

* All shots I took on Siquijor during this trip were without my tripod, as I decided to embrace the spirit of a photo-journalist. So, I pushed the ISO quite a bit. On the previous two shots, it may be hard to tell since they were so wide-angled and on my 5D, but on this one which was zoomed in, I had to go up to 1600 on my Rebel. So it is a little grainy.
