Kauai, Hawaii, USA

I took this picture of a plumeria flower on my trip to Hawaii a few years ago.  This is one of the most common flowers on the island, they bloom everywhere and are typically used to make leis.  For me, this flower brings back a lot of memories.  Growing up in tropical Viet Nam, I was quite familiar with the fragrant smell of the plumeria, and they say smells strongly associate with memories.  When I get a whiff of this sweet smelling flower, it brings back memories of my childhood at my grandmother’s house and makes me feel quite nostalgic.

Every Monday of each week, I’ll share a photo with you from my adventures around the world and at home.  Most of my photos have little or no post processing.  If you would like to see more, please click the ‘Follow’ button.
