The Flower


"Flowers are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities in the world." Ralph Waldo Emerson


Believe it or not, this is one of the few flower pictures I took on our recent visit to Hawaii. It was taken at the Dole Pineapple Plantation, which is where we spent most of the day waiting for the Tsunami to pass. We had planned to spend the day on the North Shore watching the surfers on the Bonzai Pipeline,which is what we had done on the previous day, but that didn't work out. It was a blessing, though, that the Tsunami never really happened. Once again, the islands were saved from destruction.

Such beautiful flowers, we saw them at the Crystal Bridge Conservatory (I think that's the right name) in Oklahoma City. Thanks for bringing back those memories! Nice shot :D
