Ka-POW!  The intense color shot my eyeballs out!  Nah!  But the combination of cloudy skies and the recent rain produced this vibrant hibiscus!

Sorry for taking the picture with the binder ring in the middle, but it saves space for other pictures.  With sodden, clingy clothes, I said "Uncle" to the weather and ended my walk at 2.04 miles.  Following the Kawainui canal, I smelt the ocean before even seeing it.  This part of Kailua called, Kalaheo, is an area I'm not familiar with and the nearness of the ocean surprised me!

The entrance to this house may have been a driveway leading to a garage previously, but what really got my attention is that there are two doors you need to go through to get inside the house.  Why did they do that?  A mystery!  What do you think?

In a previous blog, I showed you a picture of a "fire hydrant" hose organizer.  This must be the Hawaiian style hose organizer made of lava rock to loop around for anchoring.

Placed upon a rock paver, I almost missed this unique miniature home.  The details where intricate and elaborate!
 
Is this legal?  I'm not sure, but I know that access to the beach is not to be blocked and the beach is accessible to everyone!  Maybe the two neighbors bought the land between and then blocked it.
 
Once you've seen a coconut tree steel ring, you've seen them all, but this one has a HULA dancer on it!  My immediate favorite!  See or do one of your FAVORITE things today!  Enjoy!  E Malama Pono!  (Take good care!)

  2. Hey Ma!
    I thought of a reason for the double doors. Maybe they have a dog or cat (or crazy children) so that when they open the inner door they can't escape. Or maybe it's extra security for break ins.
    I really like the vibrant Hibiscus, makes my tattoo proud. I also love that you caught sight of the mini home, I like to think a spirit lives there.
    As for doing one of my favorite things today, hai! I'm looking at your blog!
