Rays of the lowering sun caressed two of my favorite ukuleles, each with its different style. The one on the wall came from Ua Huka in the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia. The one on the desk came from a Hawaiian company. Each is a masterpiece of its own style with their own distinctive sounds, and they provide a heartfelt connection with the amazing people of the Pacific that we have come to know.
Retired physician with interests in writing, photography, music, and astronomy. I have written multiple stories of life experiences, travel, and astronomy, and have been playing the ukulele for 10 years. My wife Fairy and I travel frequently to the Pacific Islands of Hawaii, and French Polynesia, and I have learned several of their native-language songs.
This blog will be a forum to share experiences with family and friends.

Beautiful! My daughter, EllaHarp.com, is a harpist — I’ve photographed her wooden harps in the sunlight over the years, even having the wind play the harpstrings as they vibrated in the gusts :)) Dawn
