I had their Grilled Ahi with Teriyaki Sauce and Pico de Gallo over it. Delicious. We took the food over to the other side of the road to watch the waves.
This is what you see from the shave ice stand
As I sat on a large rock and Nico walked around taking his own set of photos I enjoyed my food. Nico was too busy picking up plants, rocks and the run of the mill treasures on the ground. He was to intrigued to eat.
I started snapping photos from where I sat and could not stop. The beauty of the ocean was like popcorn. Once you take a photo you just can't stop.
It's just water but throw in a little foam and it becomes mesmerizing
From blue to blue
As I look at the ocean I ask myself, Why do I find it so hard to do this? I must leave the house more often
The waves just kept coming
It was like a step back in time
Then Nico got into the picture. He was pulling up a long piece of grass
Then you turn around from the ocean and this is what you see. Reality. But if you look on the top of the mountain you can see a big estate. That was once owned by Elvis Presley
Time to go and thankfully we head away from the traffic that is now backing up
We pass the Dole Pineapple Fields as we head to Wahiawa where I am going to go to the egg farm to get some eggs
We drive down the street appropriately named Palm Avenue
We pass a cherry blossom just coming into bloom
And we head down the road that leads to the egg farm
The Egg Farm
Then it's home again, home again, jiggity jig
Had a grand day, Max was waiting at the door and Nico then went off to his other grandma's to get the ants out of his pants. I took a long nap.
I love your photography and story!
ReplyDeleteI have the same thought every time I go to the river behind my house: Why don't I come here more often? It's only a 10 minute walk away. The other day I was watching some ducks on the ice, and there was a splash. For a split second I thought it was a fish jumping, but no... it was a young beaver coming up for a look around! The ducks scared it and it quickly submerged. I waited a while, but didn't see the beaver again. Maybe I'll walk over and see if I can find it again.
Your photos and writing make browsing your site very enjoyable. It's nice to see things from where you're standing.

Joan I would have loved to have seen the beaver. That's the type of adventure I miss when I sit in the house. Here I've seen pigs come down from the mountain, dolphins leaping and whales spouting. Free! Just needed to leave the house.
ReplyDeleteYou know Ed, sometimes we think our lives are so droll or boring. But when you actually record the things you do and share it in photos it gives one a whole different perspective on what life really is.
