  2. Gosh... I've been to that beach and didn't realize that it's named for the Duke.
    We are the safest city? Really? I guess it surprised me because I watch the news and hear the bad things that are happening. Still... I'm glad to know it's better than I thought.

  10. I love the beach!
    And I love the juxtaposition of the brag and the warning against bragging.

  12. Are Pixie and the tiki gods the reason Honolulu is so safe? Or is it because the beaches are so beautiful no one has the time or inclination to commit crime?

    The photo of the cat is great, the light is very nice

  23. What a stunning beach and you get to walk there!! Fabulous.

    "A good deed is not a good deed if you brag about it." Truer words were never spoken.

    I don't consider Orlando such a great city to visit. Been there, didn't much care for it.

    Have a lovely FFO weekend, dear Cloudia.

  25. Everything in Hawaii seems to be beautiful including and maybe even especially Pixie ... your thoughts are provocative and go well with the photos. You are blessed to see all this beauty in your every day life ... and to have Pixie by your side. I do hope to visit your beaches one day :)
