Fluffy Florals or Puffy Plants.

Fluffy Florals or Puffy Plants  Call them what you like, but never forget to Awwwwwe at them!.

'Ohi'a Lehua.  I have a fascination for tropical flowers.  They're so exotic, especially when we compare them to our everyday roses, carnations, and baby's breath!  For no other reason, I was scoping out the Kilauea Crater through my newly acquired Sony Telephoto Zoom lens ... just "testing" it out as we say. 

It was not an especially bright day, rather hazy, and the crater took on hues of dull olive greens and browns.  I stood in one spot, and did a complete 360 turn, returning my gaze back at the ONE splash of color in the dull landscaping.  I live for days like this, with chance sightings of God's beauty.

God would have it sitting pretty, not a breeze to ruin the perfect calmness of this floral gem.   Here, I present you an awesome photograph  of Hawai'i's 'Ohi'a Lehua.
