My Weekend in Photographs...

We finally visited the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden, Mount Tomah, NSW, Australia.  It's only 25 miles (40km) into the mountains from our house and we've been wanting to go, since moving here.  And, let me tell you, WOW, it was so beautiful and so worth the visit!  It's definitely going on our list of places to frequent and to take our out-of-town guests.  We must visit it at least every season to see the changes.  It's fall now, so all the leaves were turning...

I thought I'd share some of our favorite photos I captured this weekend...

Saying Goodbye...

We have begun the process of saying goodbye to Hawaii...

our first goodbye was to the Honolulu Zoo...

it's a beautiful spot to visit, right across the street from Waikiki beach...

we've taken our son there almost every weekend for the past 2 years...

but, Sunday was our last visit, since our zoo pass expires June 30...

we will definitely miss the tropical beauty...

the beautiful little gardens...

and some of our favorite inhabitants...

aloha HZ...

can't wait to begin our Sydney Zoo adventures!

Weekend Recap in Photos: Makapu'u and Kuilei Cliffs

This is a recap in photos from the past two weekends. 

The first weekend includes photos from our hike to Makapu'u Lighthouse, where we did some whale watching...

and the second weekend's photos are from our attempted trek down Kuilei Cliffs Beach to Shangri La...









We, unfortunately, didn't make it all the way to Shangri La, as we had hoped...the naked man sunbathing kind of put an end to our little adventure...perhaps some other time!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend too!
