Friday Fotos – a beautiful Byodo-In Temple Orchid

July 20, 2018 By Terry

Byodo-In Temple Orchid

During our walk around the Byodo-In Temple, we went to an upper garden area where we found this beautiful Byodo-In Temple orchid. I just love the colors!

From the Oahu archives

The colors in this sunset were so spectacular I just had to keep on shooting!
Oahu sunset at the harbor
This is one of my favorite times of the day. When the sky is still blue, but the lights are coming on and there are a few stars twinkling.

I couldn’t resist the chance to get this shot. With the sun just up, the shadows were still long and the light just perfect!

It’s so peaceful to watch the koi swim.

This turtle at Byodo-In Temple seemed very interested by the camera.
Massive gong at Byodo-In Temple
While we were at the Byodo-In Temple, we often heard a deep, melodic tone. This was the source and any visitor can give it a try!

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
