Picture Perfect Morning

 April 14, 2008. Monday morning and on my way to the office in Mililani.

I saw beautiful cloud formations on this beautiful spring morning and after many days of vog from the Big Island (Island of Hawaii) volcano it was clearing up.

I chased the sun down Mililani side streets until I found a perfect shot of morning sunlight glowing around a large palm tree high above the rooftop of a home.

Click!

I was so pleased when I saw the result.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I caught another view with a little more blue to the sky but same concept and zoomed out a little.

I can't decide which one is nicer :)

 

 

 

 

When I arrived at the office look what was on the bush outside! Morning sunlight on a perfectly bloomed hibiscus.

 

And then I got bombed with work straight through until 3pm.

 

What a beautiful and productive day.

Chris: Come on down! I'm getting pretty good at picture taking...wouldn't you say? :)

Hi Sally,

Those are some beautiful shots, what a great way to start the day! :)

Sally, if you can find beauty like this even on a busy day, your priorities are in the right place...

Sally those photos are outstanding.  That is a great camera that you took them with, the detail is fantastic. 

04/15/2008 09:49 PM by George Souto (McCue Mortgage Co.)


  Woo-Hoo; those are awesome!!!   What photo program do you use to add the borders, etc? Whatever it is, it makes the pictures even more beautiful (which is almost impossible) than it is. 

Snappy

Hibiscus is my favorite flower and the views of the sun and the palm trees make me so jealous. Are you hiring old agents that just ewant to earn enough to live in Hawaii.   

04/15/2008 09:59 PM by Terry Westbrook ~ Realtor(R) Grand Rapids Mi Ada/Cascade Real Estate (Five Star Real Estate, LLC Grand Rapids , MI)


WooHoo!!!  Great pictures!  Sure was nice talking to you yesterday as I was showing Tom Plant around San Antonio!  :) 

04/15/2008 10:10 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Suzanne: Sure was!  I can't believe what I do with a few extra minutes in the morning!

Thanks so much Brian...that was a very nice compliment :)

04/15/2008 10:14 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), HAWAII Real Estate & HAWAII Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


Janice: I'm so glad you and everyone else is enjoying them...that makes those few minutes clicking....worthwhile!

George: Sometimes that Kodak works better than my Canon :)

04/15/2008 10:17 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), HAWAII Real Estate & HAWAII Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


Kat:  Microsoft Digital Image Suite is the program for all the borders and stuff. Can do lots of other projects and stuff too :)

Terry: Hey...that's me! :)  Actually, our office is pretty comfortable. No pushing or demanding :)  I like that.....Come...come join us so you can live in Hawaii!

04/15/2008 10:19 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), HAWAII Real Estate & HAWAII Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


Woo-Hoo; Thanks....by the way, I got my FlipVideo today--sweet little camcorder!

Judi: You guys got me as soon as I got up...blogging and just starting to drink coffee....didn't flap my lips enough ....haha...nice talking to you again too Judi....call me anytime!

Sally, Tom saw your comment on his Blackberry -- the next thing I knew he was calling you.  I asked a stupid question -- "Is she awake yet?"  He said, "she just commented, she's awake!"  I'm sure you were awake by the time we 3 finished talking!!   :)

04/15/2008 10:29 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Hey, Its a lovely shot. Thanks

Sally, great pictures.  How great it must be to live in Paradise.  You're getting really good at the photos....hope you won't be thinking of becoming a professional photographer.  RE will surely lose a great Realtor.

Sally- I finally got a chance to come here, and what a treat indeed......I was visualizing the streets, and following you in the car as you tried to find just the perfect picture of the sun.....and you did a wonderful job.  Like you I am not sure which one I like best, but I think the first one.  Anyway, what a nice way to start your day....:):)
