A view of the Koʻolau Range - a mountain range on Oahu - as seen from the lake in the Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden. The mountains are reflected on the surface of the lake. The sky is mostly cloudy but a wide patch of blue is visible in the center.

We’re back home now and I want to slowly begin sharing pics from our trip to Oahu. On our second full day there, still jet-lagged, hubs and I took an Uber out of Waikiki, and we went to the Hoʻomaluhia botanical garden. We hiked around for a few hours. Stunning views, incredible plants & birds. 1/3

The kids are having a hard time today. They had Moderna for the first time this time. I hope you're not bothered by it.

Flu and COVID shots. Just lying here, glowing in the dark.

Yesterday I amused food court patrons by fanning myself with the food tray. It's serious folks.

I'm not that tall really...

Here we are! I’ve paid myself my first salary today. When I started this little adventure, I never imagined I’d reach this point. It feels a bit weird to be paid for something I genuinely enjoy doing.

Three portraits. A card which reads gracias por todo. 150 Bolivianos tip. Three business cards for Skully / Mateo. On the back of his card it reads: Con su calaverita sagrada, Mateo te manda protección y buena energía desde el mundo de los espíritus. 8 de noviembre de 2025.

Getting ready to check out of our hotel. This is how you do it.

You just offset your list in the other direction 😺

In the private room at the back of the heart, quiet communion is in progress. I may appear asleep.

Little Lucy kitten.

Little Lucy kitten, wide-eyed as she gets her very first close-up portrait photo taken :))

(She kept hearing the clicks as I took multiple photos with my phone.)

Warming up to Chris Hemsworth, he's a bit babyfaced to be Geralt. This season was all over the place, I did a lot of fast-forwarding.

A decent series. Good for sock-folding.
