Hawaii just shares a pure connection with the world. I feel that connection with Hawaii. It is almost like my second home. Taking photos is an art form that has been around for many years. Taking photos is a way that we can go back in time.

How has Hawaii blessed me?

Speaking from experience, Hawaii has long been somewhere on my bucket list. In the year 2017 I was able to finally make this destination a vacation spot. From being to Kauai twice, O'ahu once, and Maui once these islands are sure to mesmerize the eyes. Going to these islands has given me so many rich blessings. One of these is being able to understand nature. Hawaii is centered around nature. The beauty of nature is found everywhere. Not only has the land beauty captivated my soul, but so has underwater. Being able to take a deep dive in the ocean I have been able to see the fish that lie beneath the surface. Being able to see these organisms has definitely helped me understand the world as a whole. 

Adding onto what was mentioned before, I must make note of seeing God. While I have never actually seen God with my own eyes in this life, I have seen his hands in nature. From the birds that fly through the skies to the fish that swim in the seas there is just something so beautiful about this world. Everything is never the same with nature. The way that the ocean kisses the shore is nothing short of amazing. The plants that dot the islands is so beautiful. Even the fish that gracefully swim through the water reflect the hand of God. I think this is truly amazing. This world has been created by his hands and traveling to Hawaii has helped me really understand this.
