Happily back in Hawaii for a short time, some more "Walking Hawaiian" was in order. Trying to complete a puka (hole), back to Kahala I went! Finding dead-ends and missing streets, my tally for the day was 4.93 miles! Actually, the walk took place on May 4th, so a little bit of a time delay due to technical difficulties!
How can I not include the beautiful flora that Hawaii has in such abundance! The joyous refreshment of the white hibiscus and the soft pink edging of the the second hibiscus were my favorites!

Coming across several items that I could not identify, can you help me? The first is a fruit tree and it's not limes! Do you know what it is? The unusual shape of the lava stone picture seems to be representative of something, but what? What's your interpretation? Do you see the pineapple?
Upon occasion, I come across classic cars! This is a 1960 Ford Ranchero! Almost as old as me! HaHa! With Hawaii's humid climate, cars struggle with oxidation! (rust) I'm impressed with it's resilience and it's good condition!
Note the intricate design of this gate! Not only did I love the "nautilus" shape, but I loved the stand-out aqua color! That's how I noticed it in the first place!
Cutting a design through the steel, the light piercing the cut shows the pattern. Unique and beautiful, do you recognize the design. If not, I'll tell you at the end of the blog.
Towering coconut trees that must be 100 years old, the romantic in me likes how they are curving towards each other. Gravity?
Now for the answers to the previous questions. The manicured bush is in the shape of the "shaka" sign otherwise known as the " hang loose" hand sign. Look at this picture and compare the shape! As for the metal gate design, it is the Ko'olau mountain range. Were you right in your guess? Hoping that all the right things happen for you today! Aloha no! (Lots of love!)
