Watching the Whales Play in the Channel

I was reminded again that visualization is a powerful tool in life and business planning. Using it can help to accomplish those crazy ideas which remain undone.   We just returned from a couple weeks on Maui.  When we were there last year, my son-in-law Stephen and I joked about stand up paddling in the channel between Maui and Lanai, and interacting with Whales.  Of course the idea was a little out there, literally and figuratively.  But, between that trip and this one, the idea percolated.  So when the time came, and we were paddling, and the whales were out there, we just did it.  I captured these shots sitting on my board!

The same type of visualization is the likely difference between a dreamer and a designer.  Our firm was founded on the idea of using design energy to create built form which connects to the landscape.  We love to see projects get built and visualization is one of our tools to make this happen!
