Aloha, Friend!

but count as blessing
every day that fate allows you."

Ted caught this great shot of a box fish too.

"Perhaps more people would give heed
unto the word of the Lord
if the Lord had a funny blog."

This one's mine :)

"What difference does it make how much you have?
What you don't have amounts to much more."

Seneca


Sounds a little depressing at first,
but is liberating when you think about it...

And here's a video I took of the dauntless yard men of Waikiki
clearing out a giant banyan tree.

The dramatic tension is provided by a fellow who,
upon seeing that I was filming,
stood in the frame and waited.

I could have screamed!
"Act normally, keep going!"
Ah, the life of a blogger...

Bye Now! cloudia

Hula Winners

Aloha, Friend!

We were up past midnight watching the announcement of the

Merrie Monarch winners.

Below you will find a video

of the Kane winners of the Auana ("modern") Hula.

Give them a chance to get going

and you will enjoy these things that tourists to Hawaii rarely see.

Wahine (women) hula is familiar to everyone, and you can see more great performances, both Kane (Kah-Nay, Men) and Wahine HERE.
