Being in this wonderful place .. wearing Aloha shirts all year long .. enjoying the incredible culture of Kauai .. in a comparative analysis to snow filled winter days by the fireplace and beautiful trees in Fall - nah, don't miss it. I truly feel like one of the 67,000 (Kauai's population) luckiest souls on planet Earth. Of course I do love a soft snowfall .. the kind that has huge flakes floating slowing back and forth .. and I do love the beauty of Aspen trees "turning" in the Fall - crocus et daffodils in the Spring .. Oh, for cryin' out loud, why did you have to go and ask me that question !?! Everyplace on our wonderful orb has its intrinsic beauty and this lifetime is just too short. Speaking of short, Heather, here is my official short (after contemplation) answer to your question: <br /><br />"Heather, I love nature, no matter where "She" dwells."

I don't think there is much that is more magical as watching these lovely harbingers of spring burst into bloom... they are so languid about it at first, like fireworks in super-slow motion, but they are gone in just a flash. Couture dressed beauties rushing from a ball. Ballerinas pirouetting off the stage. Ours is just finishing, dropping one petal, then another and another in a cloudburst of pink rain. It goes too fast. I'm so glad you captured it here, Heather. Just beautiful. Happy, happy spring!
