Bringing out the inner ANGEL (as well as the Walking Hawaiian) in me! Photo opportunities abound at the Honolulu Hale during the Christmas season and lasts until New Year's Eve. If you haven't been there yet, go quickly! I did mention in a previous blog about the interesting sights at the Honolulu Hale during Christmas, so I decided that I must give you a sample look. Since I have deleted pictures from previous blogs, I have a little room to post some pictures, as I'm still trying to figure out how to continue my blog. Wish me luck!
Made out of broken CD discs, a prize winning peacock wreath. There are contests for wreaths and trees at the Honolulu Hale. Please double click the picture to see the intricate details.
Using recycled materials to make a wreath is ingenious and green (now gold)! Spray painted soldiers comprise this wreath.
2 liter soda bottles turned into beautiful fishes. Cut, staple, paint and glue eyeballs! Voila!
Sea creatures swim on Honolulu Hale's Christmas tree. Seen from the Punchbowl and King street intersection, please be careful driving as everyone is looking at this instead of the road!
Hoping that your path this coming New Year will be clearly lit and easy to follow your dreams making it a reality. Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas) everyone and I'll be walking soon!
What is so great about this banyan tree? Well if you read a previous blog about Princess Ka'iulani, her father, Archibald Cleghorn planted the very first banyan tree on their property in Waikiki. (Supposedly where the Princess Ka'iulani Hotel stands now.) This tree is a "slip" from that first tree and is on the "Princess Ka'iulani Elementary School" grounds.
Aloha, my blogger friends. Found out that I have "2" heel spurs and am diligently following my Doctor's recommendations to get my feet back to working (walking) condition. I yearn to get back on the road again, but need to take care of my feet first. Please be patient! I promise to slowly get back into it.
Another problem presented itself. I'm told that I have reached my "photo" limit of 1 GB. I didn't know that there was a limit! As contact with "blogspot.com" is not apparent, I'm trying to figure out ways to continue this blog. I've been deleting a few pictures from previous blogs to get some picture space back. Monthly payments is an option, but, I believe the extra GB will be for text only and not pictures. Since this blog is predominately a picture blog, paying for the GB will still not help me to continue. Does anyone know how to communicate with blogspot.com? Any ideas would be welcome. Until I can resolve this situation, "Happy Holidays to all!"
A very odd contraption to grace the front of your house, the only thing that I can come up with is maybe a large fish hanging scale? But then, why the mid-air ladder? Do you know what it is?
Blessed many times with Hawaii's liquid sunshine,(rain), up I went, higher and higher. I'm about half-way up Aiea Heights Drive, but many side streets exist and I must travel on them too!
Unfortunately, even though I scaled 3.90 miles today, most of it was back-tracking. Well, when you have a lot of dead ends on your route, it can't be helped. I had a resident make his feelings known that he didn't like me walking around his neighborhood in an interesting way. He honked his horn for 10 seconds straight and drove around while doing it. The horn blasting aroused the interest of every single dog in the area and I had the "Mormon Tabernacle Choir" of dogs howling for an eardrum busting minute. When they all settled down, the resident did it again! The dog symphony began again. I have to admit, picture taking was not on my mind at the time! Leaving that area was! HaHa!
The juxtaposition of angles had me wondering if they couldn't make up their mind, or for "Feng Shui," they had to do it that way, or maybe they wanted a 360 degree view!
If this truly works, it must be powerful. They're probably checking out Kauai! HaHa! It kind of looks like it could have been on a Navy ship, I may be wrong, but that's what comes to mind.
A bonified "Ohia Lehua" flower. It's so much nicer to see it in person instead of a photograph!
The strange looking ornaments are fishing weights. Now either they are avid fisherman(spare weights), strange artists(thought that it would look pretty) or they needed to weigh down this pine to make it stronger. What do you think? May you walk light as a feather, unburdened with weighty issues today! Aloha!(Bye!)
