With a big, "Hallelujah," I am finished with Aiea Heights! I filled in the puka (hole),trekking 3.10 miles. The many XXX's are subdivisions and private roads. Walking them might get me into trouble, therefore I did not include them in my walk. Every side street was a dead end and backtracking was inevitable, but some interesting sights could be found.
Lush foliage, beauty and skinny roads made for exciting times walking around the "V" part of Aiea Heights drive! If you double click the first picture, you'll see a snaking path along the road and that is where I walked since there was nowhere else except the road itself.
The fragrant white ginger and the fiery bush made for a pleasant journey.
I've commented about the lion statues guarding the residence, the male protecting the structure and the female protects the occupants inside the structure. These statues were huge and I'm sure cost a pretty penny!
These hunting dogs are getting a little mixed up! They are both pointing in opposite directions! Very creative mailboxes were a part of my route today!
The mailman can't get mixed up where the mail goes with this mailbox. I talked with the owner, Suzanne, who said that the figure in the truck was the actual photo of the mailman, but it has faded over time. They got the largest mailbox they could find and put the handmade truck over it. It must make the mailman feel very appreciated!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Pat! It's nice to put a name to it! Nowadays, I walk and name all the plants as I pass by. It helps to remember what they are called.
