Always Return

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Why not show off
if you've got
something to show?
January Jones



Common waxbill (Estrilda astrild)
Native to Africa. Seen in Hawaiʻi since late 1970s.

In searching for myself,
I have created myself.
     Ljupka Cvetanova



 Vintage signs,
 sweet and fine.
Unfolding memories
In my cinema mind.

Old styles whisper
Tales of youth,
Remind us of
Beloved truths

Retro charm,
Nostalgia gleams
Igniting memories
Of cherished dreams.
   Cloudia Charters




The reflections we send out 
always return.
       Ron Baratono

Love You,
 Pixie & Cloudia

Thank you so much for the rainbow and the double dose of Pixie - who doesn't have a 'best side'.

January Jones reminds us that confidence is key when showcasing our best.

Ljupka Cvetanova beautifully illustrates the journey of self-discovery and creation.

Cloudia Charters captures the magic of vintage signs and the sweet nostalgia they evoke.

Ron Baratono offers a thoughtful reflection on the cyclical nature of our actions and their returns.
