Being a photographer, I cherish what a picture does to help me recall memories of days gone by. But I admit, that is not the only way I am reminded of past places and times in my life. In Moorea, I can also remember the delicate but sometimes overpowering sweet fragrance of so many tropical flowers floating on the warm breezes. But wait a minute..........it is the pictures of the flowers that remind me of such heavenly aromas! See, it still comes down to photography! (chuckle)
P.S. Below is a bonus photo for today. One of the many hibiscus blooms for me to enjoy while we were waiting for the ferry to take us back to Tahiti.

I love these red hibiscus, we have two big bushes of this type.. so beautiful and i love it up in the corner all by itself.. beautiful and i can almost smell the flowers from the first pic
My parents had a beautiful red hibiscus plant which my dad so lovingly attended. Your photo very kindly reminded me of that. It sure is a beauty.
I just made a very similar comment today. Picture stir the memories of times past.
I personally like the first picture's framing !
Karen, beautiful images! I like them both, very much. The Hibiscus is absolutely stunning!
I'm trying not to be jealous! I also love the lily pad photo in your last post. Surrounded by snow, I'm basking in this wonderful color.
I saw a quote once which stays in my head as being so apt. "Photos are the pilot light of memory" Don't you love it. The author is unknown.
