living in hawaii has taught me to appreciate the simple beauties in life. everyone teases me about my excessive need to take pictures all the time - but i can't help it! i want every good memory, every beautiful thing, and every wonderful person captured so that i'm sure i won't forget the good parts of life.
here are a few pictures i've taken within the last week of simple, wonderful, beautiful things.
