I would feel very uncomfortable looking out my front window with a scary looking Tiki staring at me! Of course, you could have a staring contest, but I think you'll lose!  HaHa!  Maybe the Tiki is guarding the pond that flows below the rock pile.

You will notice a difference in the pictures today.  First of all, I was walking on the WINDWARD side of the Island.  Also, I walked in the late afternoon.  The light and views gives a different feel and due to the lateness of the start, I didn't walk as far strolling only 2.56 miles.

An opportunity presented itself making Kailua a possibility for today.  Thinking that Kailua is mostly FLAT, I thought that today would be easy, but, Keolu sits in a basin, and I was walking on the rim.  So, it was harder than normal, but manageable.

With the sun dipping low on the Ko'olau ridge line, the light casts long shadows and cooler temperatures.  The craggy walls of the mountain range is beautiful to behold.



Do you need directions in Kailua?  This resident is sharing his ALOHA by helping you to get where you need to go!  (Hell wasn't there!  HaHa!)  I loved the COLORFUL signs!

Making use of leftover fencing material?  Well, its a bargain price and it matches the house, yes?

What was fascinating with this mailbox was the rich colors, the accurate depiction of RED GINGER and that it matched perfectly with their yard, which had the exact same colored gingers growing profusely!  Sorry!  I should have taken a picture with the mailbox and the yard so that you could see the similarities.

Called "Lakeside," huffing up the drive with rows of townhouses, I could see why they call it that!  Each townhouse had a wrap-around lanai facing the Kaelepulu Pond.  With the tradewinds lightly blowing, and the blue of sky and water, it sure must feel like heaven here!

You didn't see enough mailboxes yet, did you?  HaHa!  Sorry!  Today, I'm all enamored with mailboxes!  The cerulean blue of this tsunami(?) was so rich that I saw the mailbox way before I came upon it!  Are you enamored with anything today?  Hawaii no ka 'oi! (Hawaii is the best!)
