My parents should have their fortieth wedding anniversary more often.

In January 2012, to celebrate my parents’ anniversary, my father flew my entire family out to Hawai’i for a long vacation. So while much of the U.S. was mired in snow, and even California was chilly and damp, this garden was just outside my hotel door. I couldn’t really complain . . . .

I found myself returning to this picture several times today – what an inspiring contrast to the tiresome fog that’s been congesting the Willamette Valley in the past weeks. One thing I really like is the crayola-purity of those shades of green and blue.

Yeah, the vividness of those colors is half of what makes the picture. (And not because I cranked them up beyond what they actually looked like at the time.)

When we have our 50th remind your Dad of our friends who took their children and grandchildren to Rome for their 50th :-)
