Memorial Day finds hundreds of flower lei decorating graves around the islands, especially military cemeteries like Punchbowl National Cemetery of the Pacific
King Kamehameha Day in June see's the lei draping of his statue. The Napoleon of the Pacific United ithe Hawaiian Islands into a unified kingdom that took it's place among the nations.
wear lei up to their eyes!

Cindy's Lei Shoppe has long been recognized as a landmark in Honolulu's Chinatown, one of the oldest lei stands in Hawaii, and the local favorite to buy fresh flower leis.
I love these leis. So beautiful. Pixie looks peaceful, yet might be dreaming!
ReplyDelete...and for graduation, they aren't all made of flowers!
ReplyDeleteI wondered how the King's lei were placed on him up so high. Glad Cindy's is still ticking. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI will be smiling about Pixie's doughnut comment all day :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely pics and words today, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and inspiring words. I like the dog wearing the leis.
The monk seal is a great sight and the sky capture is beautiful.
Take care, Happy Friday! Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
I love all of the photos and the making of the leis. I can't imagine anyone being such a miserable human that they would throw rocks at a Munk Seal. However, I'm wrong. I hope "they" throw the book at this guy. I'm glad the seal is OK.
ReplyDeletePixie earned that nap.
ReplyDeleteLovely post-Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThat bird of paradise in your blog header is amazing and beautiful. Give Pixie a pat for me.
ReplyDeleteLook seal is having a lovely little nap.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous bird of paradise flower in your blog header photo! And I love all the leis in your photos. When I was in Maui once, my partner and I attended a lei-making workshop to make our own leis, which we wore for more than a week -- they kept fresh in the fridge crisper between wearings.
ReplyDeleteI bet the leis smell good 😊
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sky.
ReplyDeleteI love all the leis. So beautiful. And that Pixie is quite the poet.
