Hi Rosa,

I read The Artist's Way a few years ago and I highly recommend that everyone read it - whether or not you think you're an artist (although I do believe that we are all artists!).

I always look forward to my "dates". One of my favorite places to go is Balboa Park here in San Diego with all the art museums.

I absolutely love your photos. I feel as if I've been transported to Hawaii...even if just for a brief moment ;)

I'm with you Maria in believing that we are all artists in some way, some have simply tapped into it more than others have. JC's Artist Way is a great resource isn't it?

Balboa Park is a fabulous place to have an Artist Date, I can see why it would be a choice for you. Another place I love to visit on foot just outside San Diego proper is Coronado Island. I was last at the Hotel Del back in 2002 (so I am due for another visit!) and in the morning I loved to take my run just among the streets nearby, for the mix of architecture is fabulous, and very interesting.

Rosa,
I am very much enjoying your pics - either here or at flickr. It's a wonderful way of getting to know you and the country you're living in. I think you're doing very well with your camera - congratulations!

Hi Rosa, this sounds like a fabulous way to spend your weekend.

I was off down in the far south west of Scotland, staying at a wee fishing harbour - which proved great for a few shots of nets, crates and boats - then up for a walk in the moorland.

It looks bleak from a distance but rich with vegetation when you get out and explore. The moorland flowers are tiny but exquisite - made me want to learn so much more about their names and how to take better photos of them!

Aloha Ulla,
Flickr is proving to be so great for the sharing and learning about each other you have mentioned. I am enjoying seeing Germany through your appreciative eyes as well: I think we Americans (and Hawaiians :) who have never been there have historical blinders of Berlin in particular.

Aloha Joanna,
You are one who truly inspires me to get outside and enjoy my own home more too, for I have long admired your sense of adventure and exploration, learning from you about it within your writing for months now before we both started hobbying in Flickr.

As I shared here, this particular jaunt was a somewhat pathetic 18 years in the making for me--- it was about time! Yet I don't think I am alone: Many of us save up for travel and vacations when so much can be done in the span of a day off or weekend right in our own back yards.

Rosa, thank you for sharing your Artist Date with us, I feel as if I walked with you in your celebration of the Wiliwili tree!

Like you, I have been inspired by Joanna to look closer at the place I live, to see it with fresh eyes and to delight in it. And I love seeing where people live in their flickr images, it's a wonderful way to get to know people.
