So my sister and I just got back from house/dog sitting on the Big Island of Hawaii… I took some pictures at a Botanical Garden just North of Hilo and thought I should share them. So here are a few… you can see the rest of them (along with more pics of the dogs) at http://jennifereileen.com/hawaii2 if you’d like.






Hello, my name is Jen
One size doesn't always fit all...
I may be one photographer amongst a million. I may be a thirty something girl who loves to laugh. I may seem to be the same ol' same ol'. I may love coffee & chocolate and thoroughly enjoy baking homemade cakes and cookies. I may even think that wildflowers sprinkling the rolling foothills are one of the most beautiful things in the world. Possibly these things make me ordinary but these few things (along with many other things) makes me me. And I'm going to raise my freak flag and wave it. Life is good, it's short, and I want to make it sweet. So come along and join me for the ride!
You can catch me on twitter at twitter and @reply me so that I know who you are :) Let's have some fun!
People who win are those who have excellence in the ordinary. ~L.H. Hardwick #



Ahhhhhh … the cute puppies
They were at their cutest when they were snuggled, happy as clams, on the couch.
The botanical garden pictures are gorgeous! I particularly like the purple, rolled leaves. Very peculiar, but very cool.
