j: I love everything about this picture – the hike I was on when I took it, the hills that meet in the back ground, the blue sky, the fence… and the cows. Both of them. I want to play caption this.
White cow: Stop looking at her. If you stop looking at her, she’ll go away.
Brown cow: No way. I’m staring her down. This is my Chuck Norris glare.
jb: During our second week in Hawaii, I continued to give my new DLSR a workout by taking a minimum of 100,000 sunset pictures per day (which is only a slight exaggeration). But these beautiful little plumeria flowers made me wish for one feature that no camera has – to capture smell. Thanks to my overactive sinuses, I usually prefer an unscented world, since even some of my favorite flowers give me a screamer-of-a-headache. But these little guys – used to make leis and haku (lei’s worn on your head or wrists) – smell so beautiful, exotic, delicious and yet not headache-inducing at all. I ran around like a little kid smelling these flowers everywhere I found them (which was literally everywhere!) and finally remembered to take a picture of one our last day…
Beautiful shot! What do they smell like… anything that you can compare them to?
j – I think it must be what heaven smells like — sweet, but not too sweet. Exotic, but not overpowering. In a word, indescribable — at least for me. I even checked all the plumeria scented perfumes, just in case there were any good ones, but they smelled awful, nothing like the real thing. Guess I’m just gonna have to go back to Hawaii and you’ll have to come with me. 🙂
Yes. That is absolutely the only rational way for us to proceed. Meet you at the airport, girlfriend!
Ha! I love your cows — that is EXACTLY what they’re saying! I didn’t realize you spoke cow; one more of your many talents!
