I found this. Taken before all hell broke loose. Hopefully, in a few days, I'll be back in good spirits and finding beauty again. For now… #beauty4Lent

Today is full-on sunny! So I went for a walk in the park. In the park we have a community garden. I didn't go into the garden. We will save that for another day. But I captured the outside to a couple. I like these because of the colors. #Beauty4Lent

I found two beauties that are so different but the same! 😅 Today this little guy came out to say ‘hi’ & I had to capture even with the rain dropping on me! And for #StPatricks day my friends shared with me this delicious corned beef hash. I never Had this before and I am hooked! 😋 #Beauty4Lent

Bonus!

I just like the reflection. 😳😅 #Beauty4Lent

No rain today. Everyone was out this evening enjoying a dry day. Even this little guy was out taking a stroll by the Ala Wai. #beauty4lent

Caught these during a short break from the rainfall. I love how the drops pool on the Taro leaves. #Beauty4Lent #HawaiiBeauty🌴

My friends’ kitty has gotten so big and has become a major diva in such a short while! Still adorable, though. 😻 #Beauty4Lent #Caturday

Bonus
Saw birdy hiding from the rain in my Noni tree. #Beauty4Lent

The storm hit but we had a moment of calm and this birdy took the opportunity to see if I had eats. Poor thing was soaked. But long as he had nibbles he was chill. #Beauty4Lent

Major storm warning around here. So, I’m gonna be finding beauty in my home! 😅 What is more beautiful than ME! 😂 Actually, things have been rough & the fact I'm surviving (sort of ) is beautiful. They say take things one day at a time. For me it's one minute. This is a moment of content #Beauty4Lent

This guy!🙄 I saw the him from a distance & captured him extending his dewlap. Went in 4 a closer shot but he didn't feel the need 2 show off! I sat there, camera trained on him, 4 about 5 mins! He’d tease me w/some bobbing then nothing! Put the camera down & out pops dewlap, of course😳😅 #Beauty4Lent

Y'all might think me crazy, but I'm excited about this. In our yard, we have gutters that had been clogged for years!! When I moved in I thought it was just dirt. Yesterday me, my landlord, & her son cleaned the gutters! (I had fun. Is that weird? ❤️😅) #Beauty4Lent (tricycle is a bonus 😄)

For years I’ve been trying to grow peppers. I'd get one then none and the tiny plant is gone! Finally, I have this beautiful pepper plant and more than one pepper! They haven't gotten red, yet. But I thought a nice green pepper will go nicely in my turkey tacos tonight. 😋 #Beauty4Lent

Not feeling well today so I didn't make it out. But I just put this photograph up. It's one of my favorites. At my old apartment, my cat would sit in front of the door and watch the people go by. These flowers were given to me for a show I did. Beautiful memories. #Beauty4Lent

Y'all it's been a day! But I managed to get out and find some beauty. I pass by these all the time and never noticed them before. Always focused on where I'm headed & how many steps I'll be rewarded in the process. Really do I stop to smell the roses…in this case…the Lantana. #Beauty4Lent

I don't know why I think this is beautiful. I don't have a story bc I don't know why I think this is beautiful. #Beauty4Lent

This guy eyeing my door…just waiting for me to look away so he can sneak in! I know your game Mr. Pigeon! People don't like Pigeons. I have always thought they were beautiful in a dirty sort of way. 😃 These guys, tho, r extortionists! I give them nibbles and they leave my plants alone.😂 #Beauty4Lent

Bonus! This site is pretty basic. It is the memory that is beautiful. In my younger days I was a #Raver. Back in the day a couple promoters threw free mini day raves. It was so special! Grooving to the music right next to the ocean till sunset with my best friends. A favorite memory #Beauty4Lent

Ya’ll it was a rough day! But it was a beautiful day & I managed to capture lots of gorgeousness! #KakaakoBeachPark is one of the most stunning parks this side of Oahu! This tree, however, is my favorite spot. Besides having the best shade it seem to tell a story. #Beauty4Lent #Hawaii

Today I decided to cross the bridge into Waikiki. I've always loved seeing the two sides with the Ala Wai in between. It looks like the canal goes forever! It doesn't. It stops at the golf course. 😅 But the day was beautiful. Crossing the bridge is always a nice treat! #Beauty4Lent

When you stay in your head you aren't paying attention to what’s around you. Or you take your surroundings for granted. Both are true for me. I see #DiamondHead every day! I forgot how beautiful it is. Especially in the early evening sun. #Beauty4Lent #LuckyWeLiveHawaii

I spent the afternoon reading this play to my mom, which is a prequel to the play I’m directing. She has always been supportive of my career: getting me to rehearsals, buying books she thought might help me & making sure I was able to see productions, though money was very tight. #Beauty4Lent

Sorry. This is lackluster. Today wasn't a good day. So it was a lot harder to find and photograph beauty. I took this shot this morning when the sun hit just right on my breakfast. I find beauty in this picture bc at that moment it was easy to see beauty bc at that moment I was happy. #beauty4lent

I took this, this morning. I waited to see if, while I was out, I would find anything that would excite me more. But this was it for me. All gifts from friends. Also, this was my treat for doing all my chores this morning! Two reasons this pic gave me the beauty feels! 😍 #Beauty4Lent

#Beauty4Lent!

I needed to see this! I bet many here need to see it, too! Thank you, Dave!

Spending the early evening at the nearby park. Across from me is #Waikiki. The busiest area meant for the wide-eyed tourists but a fun place to play for the locals. The view from Waikiki side one can see a beautiful park. On occasion rowers, soccer players, and folx enjoying nature. #Beauty4Lent

I hope this one is a great for y'all! On my way to work, I was surprised to see my favorite local band! This is indeed beautiful! The music, the singing, and the #hula! #Beauty4Lent #Hawaii #AlamoanaCenter #Culture #RoyalHawaiianBand

Bonus beauty! Took the trash out and received a special surprise from nature. #Beauty4Lent #Hawaii #RainbowState #Rainbow

I woke super early this morning unable to sleep so I literally sat staring at the wall. The porch light was on next door & it cast this amazing shadow onto my wall. I had no colored lights on. That's just how the camera captured the scene. Then the light went off! #Beauty4lent #photography #lent
