The Breadfruit Tree...

I don’t know if you have ever heard of or read about or even seen a Breadfruit, but I thought it only existed in cartoons because that’s how I first saw a Breadfruit. When I was told by somebody that I was standing under a Breadfruit, I was shocked and amazed. I never thought that it would be real!

This is me with the Breadfruit tree; I was REALLY excited although it doesn’t look like that.

Breadfruit trees are usually found in coastal Southeast Asia, Pacific islands and many tropical regions. The one I saw was in Hawaii. Because it tastes like freshly baked bread after cooking, it was called Breadfruit. Breadfruits were staple food for people in those regions. The person who told me about this tree said that “if you plant three of these in your back yard, then you and your children even your grandchildren will have enough food to eat.”

Unfortunately I did not have a chance to try one of those because it wasn’t the season, but I will visit Hawaii maybe just for that! Haha… Just kidding…

Welcome to Kaleidoscope!

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."  --- Confucius

I realized that I tend to forget to appreciate what I see or experience every day. When I was little I could easily be amazed by people, culture and nature... almost everything around me! The beauty of the world did not change, and I need to learn to appreciate it. I picked up photography few years ago and since then I am able to slow down the pace of my life and spend some time to observe this beautiful world through my camera lens. 

This is also the reason why I name my blog Kaleidoscope. If you have ever seen one yourself you would know what I mean. I will share my thoughts on this beautiful world through my camera and hopefully make my blog, and my life, as colorful as a Kaleidoscope.
