Glimpses of Hawaii

28651_586777282171_5977142_n

Hawaii is never far from my mind but has been in my thoughts since the weekend.  I decided that for Travel Tuesday today I wanted to share some of the last photographs I took before leaving the island of Oahu.  I wanted to capture some of the details of things I often took for granted of seeing every day during our years living the island life.  While I did not capture everything I wish I had on photograph, I am so glad I took the ones that I did.  How often do we live or travel somewhere and not take photographs of something simply because we see it all the time?  It can be so much fun to just go outside and force yourself to see through brand new eyes and notice all the little things that make a place so beautiful and special.

    my husband and I went to Oahu for our honeymoon… it’s so gorgeous and your photos make me want to flip through our memories [and maybe book another trip there!] it’s my first time joining the linkup, I’m excited to see everyone’s posts :)

        My name is Natalie Vanheers from the United States of America and am here to share a testimony i would please want you to read careful. I was married for seventeen years until misfortune came in. My husband and i were living happily with our children and enjoyed the company of each other. Our eldest daughter eloped with her boyfriend and this cost my husband his job because he could no longer concentrate on his job and this almost tore our home apart. My husband lost his job and we were living on the little income i was making from my cabbage. This really tormented our home cos my husband loves her more than our other kids. I tried all i could do to make my husband happy even when i wasn’t happy. This happened for sometime and he had cardiac arrest. We spent virtually all the money we had and still the condition did not improve. I was left with no choice than to sell the stuffs in our house, I was able to realise some money which was spent on his medical bills. I did this for a while until we had no money on us again. We came home and was hoping he could get better. He continued like that for some months and we decided to seek for solution else where. I went online where i met many self acclaimed doctors and spell casters but none could help. I then came across this particular caster whose testimonies i have read. His name is Dr.Brave he promised to help and he did in a way i find very surprising to explain. He told me that he would cast some spells to make my daughter come back and to get my husband his job back. It was like an impossible task. But with the help and intervention of this prophet of GOD, my daughter came back home and saw her dad was sick and she cried and asked for forgiveness. My husband after a week became whole again and another spell was cast to get him his job back. Like a dream it happened. My daughter is back home and my loving husband is well again and now has his job back. So good people of the world i want you to help me in saying a big thank you to Dr.Brave for his intervention. This is one Dr i will seriously recommend for anyone with issues of such nature or any other problem. Simply contact him on his email via bravespellcaster@gmail.com

    I always love looking at your Hawaii pictures, it’s sad these are the last! Beautiful shots.

    • http://www.bonnieroseblog.co.uk/ Bonnie Rose

      Thank you Danielle, I do too. 😉 I do not know when I will get back there so I love looking through them. x

    I think the really neat thing about Hawaii is that each island offers visitors a unique experience! I’ve been to Oahu and Kauai and they were both very different experiences [also, those coconuts look mouthwatering]!!

    • http://www.bonnieroseblog.co.uk/ Bonnie Rose

      Oh yes, each island and then so many differenta areas of the individual islands can be so different too. I did not make it to the other islands, but on Oahu alone enjoyed the different areas. Honolulu and Waikiki I tried to avoid most often because of the amount of tourists. I lived in both Ewa Beach, Mililani, and Kailua during my time there, each very different. I loved that I could photograph on the beach, or in the jungle like forests, or get a city feel. North Shore and Haleiwa is my favourite place…so laid back and low key, and love the isladn life there.

  • http://unlockingkiki.com/ Kaelene Spence

    I just love Hawaii, such beautiful pictures! Makes me want to go visit.

    • http://www.bonnieroseblog.co.uk/ Bonnie Rose

      Thank Kaelene, oh yes, everytime I look through old photos it makes me want to go back to visit too. Mahalo! x

  • http://www.therandomwritings.com/ Rachel G

    The island I lived on in Malaysia was sometimes called the “Hawaii of Asia”…perhaps not the best comparison, I think Hawaii is much lovelier! But it’s true, when we’re so used to something we don’t necessarily remember to record what it’s like.

    • http://www.bonnieroseblog.co.uk/ Bonnie Rose

      Oh that sounds really cool though Rachel. I know when we first moved to Hawaii it was like the honeymoon stage and everything was exciting and new. But it has definitely taught me to remember to be a tourist when i get in a rut. x

  • http://luyoutravel.blogspot.com/ Elizabeth Georgian

    Beautiful photos! I would love to go to Hawaii.

    • http://www.bonnieroseblog.co.uk/ Bonnie Rose

      Hope you get to go, it is a beatiful place, beautiful culture, and beautiiful people with aloha spirit. x

  • Phoebe Thomas

    Gorgeous photos. Is it true that we take things for granted when we see them every day. I remember in the last few weeks of living in Hanoi (after 4.5 years) running around photographing everything as I realised just that, that i had been taking all the crazy scenes for granted. Until then I had mainly taken photos of friends visiting places or having fun and occasionally scenic shots when out of town, but Hanoi itself was just home and I didn’t take my camera out much. (This was well before the days of smart phones which have made photographing the everyday so much easire!) I am so glad I made that effort as I have a great photographic record that I still cherish 20 years on.

  • http://www.jadeoak.com/ jackie jade

    wow – such amazing gorgeous photos! i’m going to maui this fall for my honeymoon and can’t wait. I’ve never been to Hawaii before and it looks so amazing!

  • http://www.rhymeandribbons.com/ Amanda

    Beautiful photos Bonnie! I especially like the coconuts 😉 I’d love to be able to go to Hawaii one day! x

  • http://www.meganjoyjaunts.com/ Megan

    Gorgeous pics! I love the color and detail in each of them.

  • http://www.travel-vanberry.blogspot.com/ VanBerry @ On the Road again

    Your pictures are so stunning! I wish I could go to Hawaii some day. And this happens to me a lot that I forget to take pictures of things you find boring but end up regretting it because it would have been a great memory or a great picture to show your family…..

  • http://www.lifeplus1.me/ Lifeplus1

    Was this a holiday or did you live in Hawaii? Great photos! My sister lived on the Big Island for a few years and of course I had to visit! Amazing to learn how difficult it is to be a white person living on the islands. It’s a whole different experience when you decide to move there vs. visiting. A beautiful part of the country nonetheless.

    I miss Hawaii every day. I know I probably won’t be returning for another few years, but I can’t wait to move back. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

  • Foreign Geek

    Oh Bonnie. I heart your photographs :)) Hawaii is such a dream vacay @@ I would love to go there someday, but for now I will “make do” with Bali.

  • http://www.foodboozeandbaggage.com/ Food Booze & Baggage

    Very pretty pictures! I really want to make to Hawaii someday. The really bad thing is my brother is living there now but getting ready to move back to CA, I wish we had made it for a trip before his move. He has some really great pictures from all his hiking and exploring (he was living in Hilo).

  • http://stylishimoto.blogspot.jp/ Anna

    Stunning photos! I would love to visit one day, it seems like such a beautiful place. I agree that sometimes when you live somewhere you take it for granted and don’t take photos of all the every things around you.

  • http://www.91dash.com/ Aukele | 91DASH

    I’m loving the melted shave ice!!! That’s pretty classic. And I love that you included a cat since they are everywhere. Anyway – enjoyed these pictures and inspired to take some of my own. You really captured the beauty of Oahu.

    I love Hawaii. Beautiful pics

  • http://pondertheirrelevant.com/ Meredith

    Gorgeous photos! I especially love the crabs :) It’s also great advice to explore the familiar with a different perspective. I’m guilty of just passing things by thinking it’ll be there tomorrow – a habit I need to break I think.

    Truly stunning photographs. I really love the ones that show close-ups of tree bark and the forest. When people think of Hawaii, I think they dream of the beaches, but there is so much more there to explore! Although the straw in the coconut makes me long for a day at the beach sipping some coconut water!

    Gorgeous photos, Bonnie! I recognize a few of those places – and you’re right, we spend so much time not noticing and taking the time to deliberately experience the beauty in the everyday!

    How to restore a broken relationship and marriage……

    My name is Mark Davis, my family and i live together live in London UK.It was after seven years i got to discover that my wife was unfaithful to me.I didn’t know what was going on at first but as she got deep in the affair with her new lover, i felt that our marriage was on the rocks.I notice that she no longer light up when i touch her or kiss her in her neck and her chest cos she really liked it when i did that, she also usually get naked in front of me but when she started seeing that guy she stopped it.I remember asking her if i have done anything that makes her feel irritated when i am around her then she gives silly excuses that she has been feeling stressed up and that she need space for a while.I know when you are been asked for space its usually because there is something fishy is going on.I hired a private investigator to help find out what was going on.And in a week time he brought me prove that my wife that i have lived with for seven straight year is cheating on me with her high school lover.I had picture of her walking out a of a restaurant with him and many other photo of them kissing in public like she will never be caught by someone that knows she is my wife.I asked myself, even when we had a daughter together she could this to me.That same night i showed her the pictures that i got from my private investigator.She didn’t look at it before saying, that she is seeing someone and she know that i just found out about it.Then she said that she is in love with him.At that moment, i didn’t know if to kill myself or to kill her but the button line is that if i was going to kill anyone it was going to be me cos i was so much in love with her to even think of thinking to hurt her.As time when on she asked for a divorce and got it and even got custody of our daughter and i was all alone by myself.For a year i tried all i could to get her back with the help of my seven year old daughter.Even at that all effect was in vain, i used the help of her friend but turned out all bad.I know most people don’t believe in spell casting but believe me this was my last option and the result i most say was impressive.And i know it difficult to believe but A SPELL CASTER Dr brave really made my life much better cos he gave me my family back.He didn’t ask me to pay for what he did for me all i was to do, was to provide the materials for the spell and believe that he had the power to help me.Like he said, he was going to do something that will make her reset her love and affection for me just as it has always been.My wife told me she woke up and realized that she should have never left me that i am all she needs.To make thing clear, her life with her high school lover was great before Dr brave castled the spell they had no disagreement on anything.The guy said it himself that why she broke up with him is unexplainable.Only Dr.Brave can do such a thing contact him to solve your problem with his email:bravespellcaster@gmail.com ,or kindly visit he website http://bravespellcaster.yolasite.com . CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS okay.

    I never believed in love spells or magic until I met this spell caster once when i went to see my friend in Indian this year on a business summit. I meant a man who’s name is Dr ogboni he is really powerful and could help cast spells to bring back one’s gone, lost, misbehaving lover and magic money spell or spell for a good job or luck spell .I’m now happy & a living testimony cos the man i had wanted to marry left me 5 weeks before our wedding and my life was upside down cos our relationship has been on for 3years. I really loved him, but his mother was against us and he had no good paying job. So when i met this spell caster, i told him what happened and explained the situation of things to him. At first i was undecided,skeptical and doubtful, but i just gave it a try. And in 7 days when i returned to Canada, my boyfriend (now husband) called me by himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled with his mom and family and he got a new job interview so we should get married. I didn’t believe it cos the spell caster only asked for my name and my boyfriends name and all i wanted him to do. Well we are happily married now and we are expecting our little kid, and my husband also got the new job and our lives became much better. His email is ogbonispelitemple@hotmail.com
