After the rain

The local paper said that Floridians could gloat today because Florida is the only state in the U.S. that does not have snow. (Hawaii has snow?) I'm not gloating. Yes, we have flowers blooming, but a few of us miss winter.

Hope those of you with snow are taking beautiful photos of it and staying warm.
The tops of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the big island of Hawaii get some snow but it is definitely NOT a widespread thing. When I was 13 I bought a t-shirt that said 'Ski Hawaii' because I thought it would make me seem cool. It definitely didn't work but I loved that shirt... ;) Beautiful flowers. Is that bouganvillia? More Hawaii memories... :)

@hbdaly It is bougainvillea. We have several in our yard, including this one which is 3 plants stranded together, so there are 3 colors of flowers.
I did not know that about Hawaii, as I've never been there. Our son has been twice and loves to photograph the scenery. Maybe someday....

@eudora I was lucky enough to live there for a few years when I was young because my Dad was stationed there with the Army. It was amazing! And I still pinch myself thinking how lucky I was...especially as I stare out the window at all this snow and cold! I haven't been back but it is on my list. I would love to show it to David and the boys. It truly is beyond compare... :)

What a stunning close-up shot of this Bougainvillea. Magnificent detail and the water drops and shallow DOF make it spectacular.
