At great potential peril to my unprotected iPhone, I took 3 shots of this coconut, one of dozens washed up on Kailua beach this morning. This was the third shot and the water came in higher and faster than I expected. I had no idea if I even got a shot and decided it wasn't worth a wet iPhone just to get a photograph of a coconut on the beach.

When I got home (and had washed all the salt water and sand off my hands and arms, I was delighted to find I got the shot! A quick pass through my default settings in TiltShift Generator app and here's my 23/365 for Sunday, January 23, 2011.

These two coconuts were sitting just like this when Lexi and I were walking Kailua Beach this morning. A quick pass through TiltShift Generator on my iPad and voila...

This marks the 21st day of my 365 Project and I'm posting this about 6 hours earlier than I ever have. Hope this is a good omen for the remaining 344 days!

Palm on Lanikai beach, heavy with coconuts. No deep message today. Just one of my favorite subjects taken on a beautiful Hawaiian morning.

Today was Friday. A very good day. Rox hopped over to Maui last night and today we:

1. Put several coats of clean white paint on the studio walls and part of the floor.

2. Looked at THE perfect house for us to rent in Haiku which included an orchard of different citrus trees, each one heavy with fruit, and a hot tub! (All fingers and toes crossed that the owner will choose us)

3. Finished the day with Maui friends, lively conversation, a couple bottles of great wine, and an amazing dinner at Pita Paradise in Wailea.

And because it's so late, and I almost forgot to post my 365 (thanks, Rox, for the reminder) here's a photo from my iPhone photo album I took a few weeks ago on Lanikai Beach.

May your weekend be as bountiful!
