We'll Make More

Aloha, Friend!

Where are we going, Dad?


"A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on."

Carl Sandburg




People come here to Waikiki from EVERYWHERE!



"A friend who is far away
is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand.
Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring
and more clearly visible to one passing
through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?"
Kahlil Gibran


"What is the purpose of the giant sequoia tree?
To provide shelter for the tiny mouse."
Edward Abbey

The Hawaii Tourism Authority is funding plans to re-sand our beaches, and to restore our reefs.


So come enjoy our Hawaiian beaches. . .

"The Hawaii Tourism Authority is funding plans to re-sand our beaches...."

so are they getting the new sand from San Diego?

the walking man said...

How about you send me to the place where the sand is coming from and I will go there before it gets un-sanded.

Resanding beaches??? Is that anything like manmade snow?

Couture Carrie said...

Okay -- I've heard about replacing the sand after hurricanes. Where does it come from and how often does it need replacing? Standing on a black sand beach places one in total realization of how small we are, compared to Mother Nature slowly creating the black sand....

Aloha Cloudia,
from a friend far away and close at the same time through this happy medium.

Cloudia said...

Aloha!

The sand is being pumped from the near sea, back onto the beach.

Volunteers, and stimulus-fund hires, are clearing the reefs of invasive plants that don't belong there.

Yes, LOL, we are making more babies too!

Walking Man: You couldn't stay down there long without scuba :)

Rosaria Williams said...

Sounds like the kind of beach one can linger at. Lovely.

Brian Miller said...

Jo said...

Many of our beaches here in Vancouver have re-claimed sand too.

I love Hawaii. I have a friend who is going there on April 12th. I am going to stow away in her luggage. :-)

Thank YOU for your comment!

That baby picture and quote made my heart melt. How true. Life must always go on.

I needed this happy today. Todah rabah.

Hilary said...

You never fail to make me wish I was there. I was about to comment on a different post. I guess maybe you jumped the gun with that one as it's now disappeared. I did watch that video though.. in my head, my hips were a'swayin' ;)

Luisa Doraz said...

You do have a very clever and creative side, huh? Good! Have fun with it! :) Happy Thursday! :)

Barrie said...

Very uplifting quotations. :)

Dina said...

"We'll make more"--LOL, beaches--the more, the merrier.

Maybe you can help Australia. How awful that a Chinese tanker is spilling oil on the Great Barrier Reef.

Dina said...

Such a sweet baby picture and caption.

louisebah said...

Those are some hard-hitting quotes. Especially the one about friends. :)

This happens as well at our traditional vacation stomping grounds in North Carolina. Not going there this year, perhaps the beaches are gone?
