I had to pick up a friend at the airport, but thanks to an amazing set of appetizers at Nobu Waikiki that included half a bottle of sake and an even more amazing dinner at a local sushi joint that also included half a bottle of sake, I opted to take a cab to the airport. I arrived in enough time to grab a lei for him, and since his flight was delayed, I asked some of the ladies if they'd mind if I took pictures. It was late in the evening, but one lady in particular loved that I was taking pictures, and brought me back to show me some of her more special leis.
I really enjoyed playing with the colors as they lined up against each other.
The colors of this one lei alone deserved their own photograph though.
Very nice, relaxing post. Been 30 years since I was in Hawaii. Enjoyed the pictures, especially at the closing weeks of a long winter here in Alaska!

The leis are gorgeous! This whole deployment I've just loved reading about your experiences having your camera be a passport behind the scenes everywhere you go. It's so lovely the way people are eager to show the camera who they are and what they can do.
