Thanks everyone. Yeah, it's been a s*** few months... few years really, ... a reset was necessary. And probably another one still is. Sigh. Through it all, taking dolly pictures has continued to be a nice escape from whatever else was going on. Photography always was; adding dolls brought a whole new dimension to my photography hobby.
It took forever to download some 1600 photos and Sunsette will be writing about our Hawaii ex-pedition when I do some more sorting, but here I'll catch up on the 3 missing pic-a-week photos, and yes, they were taken in the right weeks
Week 6
Aloalo is apparently "hibiscus" in Hawaiian, and appropriately, our first Airbnb in Kona had a red one. There are too many Hawaiian words for "red" for me to try to finish that phrase

Week 7
The retreat center near Hilo was possibly the most perfect spot one could find, with a magical garden (will leave that story for Sunsette). Here are the girls at sunrise meditation.

Week 8
And here's Aloalo in Lahaina in some nice warm late-day light after our visit to Lanai.

Yay. All caught up now
