September 1

Arrived in Hilo on the Big Island, Hawaii on Sat. night, Sept. 1 !!
Spent Sat. night and all day Sunday with my son Evan!
Day 1: We did some touristy stuff starting with Sunday Farmers Market--was cool and fun!
Then we headed to Lava Tree State Monument. I really like walking around in there!
One of the truly beautiful aspects are the Albizia trees!
My husband Greg and Evan, along with the car, are giving some perspective as to the size of the trees.

The sunset show two nights ago!

Just before I was about to upload this, the house started shaking, windows rattled--I was headed in to get my husband and I outside when the earthquake stopped.
4.6 magnitude - centered 6 miles out of Parkfield, 25 miles northeast of Paso Robles (California)
Those are soooo unsettling :-( However---ALL is well, and I AM GRATEFUL !

I've missed my participation here in the Daily community ;-(

I have an idea for y'all to ponder:
A S'Mugger get-together!!?? The more the merrier! The first weekend in November (Friday - Sunday), meeting up in Gruene, Texas!?!?
There's some excellent entertainment scheduled for Gruene Hall (the building in the center back ground of this photo) that
weekend, playing both Friday and Saturday nights: Raul Malo

There are several nice lodging accommodations and eateries right in town within walking distance of the music venue:
List of lodging options

Gruene is a delightful historic 'village' with photo ops galore, located @45 min. south of Austin. The weather in early November is usually very comfortable. Flights would be into Austin or San Antonio.

So...any of you that happen to see this, please share the information with community members & other S'Muggers !
Maybe share the info on several of your upcoming posts over the next couple of months helping to make sure that
everyone gets a chance to see it!?

Here's to the hope that this could be a Get-together of grand proportions!!

***Don't even be thinkin' about taking the lollipop!***

Hannah Jane - our second grandchild - had a wonderful time today at the outstanding baby shower for Aunt Carli and Uncle Chris.

I present my version of a Super Nova.....or, gasoline and/or oil on asphalt during a rainy day last week.

---the full moon photos were a dismal failure both last night and tonight ;-(

Instead of posting another (beautiful) Iris, I am sharing one of the images I included today as I have been adding to a gallery of our town and its surrounding area:
Atascadero

April 22

My Irises are really enjoying our wonderful weather and they love to be photographed!
I love taking their photos, but it is sooo difficult to choose a favorite!
I was going to make another collage; alas, I am tired now. This is SOOC.
Good night!
