Where are we going, Dad?

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."

The Hawaii Tourism Authority is funding plans to re-sand our beaches, and to restore our reefs.
So come enjoy our Hawaiian beaches. . .
We'll make more!

ReplyDeleteso are they getting the new sand from San Diego?
How about you send me to the place where the sand is coming from and I will go there before it gets un-sanded.
ReplyDeletecool quotes, nice color play, babies or beaches?
ReplyDeleteAloha friend!!

I always enjoy Abbey's stuff.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the tee-shirt of the first photo.
ReplyDeleteAloha my friend !
Resanding beaches??? Is that anything like manmade snow?
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to come visit your Hawaiian beaches someday, darling!
ReplyDeleteAnother fab post!

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,
ReplyDeletefrom a friend far away and close at the same time through this happy medium.
Aloha!
ReplyDeleteThe 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!

Thank you for visiting us
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day...
Sounds like the kind of beach one can linger at. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteah, would love to!
ReplyDeletegreat quotes as well.
happy wednesday!
Many of our beaches here in Vancouver have re-claimed sand too.
ReplyDeleteI love Hawaii. I have a friend who is going there on April 12th. I am going to stow away in her luggage. :-)
Oh, I would love to!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for your comment!
ReplyDeleteThat baby picture and quote made my heart melt. How true. Life must always go on.
ReplyDeleteI needed this happy today. Todah rabah.
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' ;)
ReplyDeleteYou do have a very clever and creative side, huh? Good! Have fun with it! :) Happy Thursday! :)
ReplyDeleteVery uplifting quotations. :)
ReplyDelete"We'll make more"--LOL, beaches--the more, the merrier.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can help Australia. How awful that a Chinese tanker is spilling oil on the Great Barrier Reef.
Such a sweet baby picture and caption.
ReplyDeleteI love the sequioa tree and baby quotes! the accompanying pictures are great!! hawaii is on my list of places to visit one day!
ReplyDeleteThose are some hard-hitting quotes. Especially the one about friends. :)
ReplyDeleteThis happens as well at our traditional vacation stomping grounds in North Carolina. Not going there this year, perhaps the beaches are gone?
