Whoa!  I would not put my flat-screen behind a parked car!  Well, maybe the car has a favorite show that can't be missed!  Still, a very strange sight to behold!

Unwavering sunshine with nary a cloud in the sky accompanied me on my walk today in Kapolei.  I guess that I'm out of practice as my pace slowed considerably!  Even though, I was able to complete 4.99 miles by back-tracking every, single street!

To my car aficionados, I believe that this is a 1956 Oldsmobile.  I loved the gold roof and the decorative detailing on the trunk as well as the hood.  You could fit a whole lot of people and luggage in this car!

What garnered my appreciation for this yard is that it actually is TWO yards!  Two neighbors decided to combine their yards and make it look like an extension of their own yard.  Beautifully manicured and what a beautiful relationship between neighbors!

Maybe I was getting hungry at this point, but I was thinking of a molten, chocolate fountain to dip strawberries in, when I saw this artistically cut bush.

Hard to miss bold colors emblazoned the frog who seems to be having a conversation with a crocodile in this whimsical yard arrangement.


The lovely yellow plumeria and neon-orange hibiscus are hard to miss too!



Found in one cul-de-sac, I guess they are missing someone dear to them.  By the way, they all have lights outlining the ribbon.  It must look beautiful at night.  Nice to see that people are loved and supported through this visual display of affection.  Are you making sure to demonstrate your love and support to those around you?  If not, do it today!  Aloha no! (Lots of love!)

Kissing cousins, maybe?  Actually I thought that this was an ingenious way to park your car as close as possible to another car without hitting it.  Well, at least that is what I think their reasoning is!


A new area that is envisioned to be a second "Honolulu" is called Kapolei!  Unbeknownst to me, most of the streets I traversed are actually Hawaiian Homestead lands.  I was surrounded by Hawaiians today!  These were self-help homes that you had to build yourself.  The design was generally the same, but some were two-story's and others were single story.  Numerous back-tracking made my total for the day at 4.85 miles!


This scorching red-hot Corvette must belong to a RICH Hawaiian!  It took me a little while to figure out what the license plated translated to.  Do you know what it says?

A neighbor decided to liven up the tree by adding a beautiful orchid plant on it!  Now this person knows how to do it, as evidenced by the growth!

Here is a sampling of some homes built on the Hawaiian Homestead lands.  Very nice, don't you think?

Possibly, the owner was born in the Year of the Dragon, since it was showing prominently in his front yard!  I enjoyed studying the intricate details of the sculpture!  Please double click to enlarge the photo and study it too!


 I hope that you are aware of the abundance of flowers everywhere you look!  The plumeria and the hibiscus did not escape my attention!  Gorgeous, don't you think?

If you think that someone is hanging their swim shorts out to dry, you are WRONG!  Only in Hawaii does this flag make sense!  Don't you think that it would be a cool surrender flag?  HaHa!  Surrender yourself to the beauty of Hawaii...Look and see!   A Hui Hou! (Until we meet again!)
