Aloha, Friend!

Ted caught this great shot of a box fish too."Perhaps more people would give heed

if the Lord had a funny blog."

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
Every quotation so true.
ReplyDeleteLove your video. Banyan clearing must be a big job.
The banyan clearing looks like a huge job! I love the photo of the box fish. :)
ReplyDeleteThey're so neat about their task!
ReplyDeleteI laughed when I saw the man (and subsequently others) stop and wait politely. He had to be a Canadian. ;) And he also had to be thinking that you were taking a snapshot as opposed to a video, and didn't want to walk in front of your camera at just the wrong moment. He was SO patient but I could almost hear him thinking "When is she going to just take the &#$%^# shot?"
Interesting tree. I liked that all three men were wearing matching blue shirts. How professional is that? I like the box fish photo too. But that tree is something else.
ReplyDeleteThat Horace had it right, way back in 64 B.C.! Neat video and photo! Aloha, cher!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post, video and the others completed each other.
ReplyDelete..have a happy week my friend.
That fish shot is really cool.
ReplyDeleteVideo is great! Love the green shirt who just didn't get it... that cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteAloha from your FOLLOWER friend!
ReplyDeleteI won't catch that bad boy tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Great, peaceful and perfect post per usual!
Love the line about the Lord having a Funny Blog! Great, Great perspective!

Great quotes. I loved the Horace and the New Yorker cartoon caption. Glad there are no banyans in SoCal.
ReplyDeleteOops! I think it's a Hala tree....Lauhala?
ReplyDeleteHow embarrassing :)
Great quotes, as always, and great video.
ReplyDeleteShalom.
I never saw anything like that box fish ... and the video was so neat, thanks for sharing .. aloha, sis!
ReplyDeleteHi Cloudia! Lovely shots, but the sunset beats them all...
ReplyDeleteDifficult job, the one of a viddeo blogger... ;)
Blogtrotter Two is waiting for you in Turkey.... ;) Enjoy and have a great week!!
so many wonderful glimpses into your island life! Have you ever seen the green flash as that sun sinks into the ocean? I saw it once on the west shore of Oahu. I was so amazed, there it was- a flash of green light.
ReplyDeleteDear Cloudia,
ReplyDeletehope everyting is fine with you all. Took a deep, very deep breath and dived deep into the comfort spiral during this night, just before leaving for Athens.
Please have a wonderful Tuesday you all. Thank you for sharing such great video.
a haole lua tree?
ReplyDeleteI saw that poetical car tune in the newspaper too
while my mind was singing lyrics of songs I've never heard
"I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah"
-Leonard Cohen (leon our dear company mother hen)
love those quotes, but the pics....ahh, beautiful. aloha!
ReplyDeleteyes! i saw the green flash once.
ReplyDeletethanks for your visit
Fantastic tree - and those sunset shots are gorgeous! Love that fish too...

ReplyDeleteJi is Honour

How big is that box fish? It's hard to tell from the photo, but it looks fairly sizeable...

I suppose that one could take the position that it is the strong that don't need "stuff" to survive or to make themselves look good, rather than the more common approach that the strong have accumulated stuff through their power. I do think possessions carry a weight all their own.
They get pretty big, Lana; like a smallish football swimming by.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment too, J.M.
