aloha little falls

Is this considered a waterfall? Or merely a water feature? I don’t know, but it’s pretty.

aloha kanji thingy

Is it shameless to hope a certain bilingual iPaulonesian will translate this for me and leave a comment? Hmmm. Regardless, I won’t let it stop me from posting this image from the Liliuokalani Gardens in Hilo, HI. I was drawn to photograph several of these stone whatever-they-ares. The contrast of the dark, kanji lettering and the textured stone really drew my eye.

Hopefully I get a pass this time on the long time between posts because we were in Hawaii for 11 days! Here’s a quick run at my first photo from the trip. More later.

Looks like I’ve got some weird precondition failures creeping around in the blog software again. Until I get that fixed, here is a link to the p0ker table pics.

hiking at los liones

Few weeks ago I went hiking after work with Scott and Sue at Los Liones. Even late in the day, it was really hot. By the time we stopped for an extended break, I sweating like the out of shape pig I am. During the extended break, we took the time to cool off and fool around a bit for the camera.

boots made for walking

Chrispo called me while I was on my way home from REI with my new hiking boots. He asked me what brand I bought, and I didn’t know. Just because, this seems like the way to show him my shiny new Lowa Renegade II GTX boots toe to toe with my 10 year old Merrell Zephyr GTX.
