Beautiful and peaceful!

Northern Lights

Spectacular photos of the Northern Lights (also known as Aurora Borealis).

Aurora is a natural light display seen in the high latitude areas.  

They are caused by charged particles, electrons and protons,

 entering the earth's atmosphere.

Waikele Christmas Lights

This Waikele Neighborhood in Hawaii is full of Christmas Cheer.  

At first just one house, now there are nine houses lit up and synchronized to music.  It's quite a production with 14 different holiday songs.  Thousands of visitors flock to this area to enjoy the sights.  Neighbors on nearby streets have also decorated their houses.

A few photos from Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.  

It's a cold day in New York City.

So glad that we are in Hawaii and can watch it on tv!

A sunny day in Waimanalo:  

I'm just fascinated with all the shades of ocean blue.  

Beautiful!

On a beautiful August evening we enjoyed Henry Kapono & Friends concert at the Waikiki Shell.  It was great fun listening to Kapono and other  Hawaiian entertainers, while knowing that a portion of the proceeds will benefit Hawaii's Make-a-Wish foundation. 

(Thanks to the Star Advertiser for most of the photos.)
