Aloha!

March 31st my mom and I left from Vancouver International Airport for a 15 day trip to Hawaii.  This lovely Bill Reid sculpture is in the international arrival/departure building and is an amazing piece of Haida art.

 Our next morning we took a free trolley down toward the Royal Hawaiian Shopping area and enjoyed a walk amongst the shops and enjoyed the tropical flowers.

 The hibiscus were definitely an eye catcher.  I love this colour of pink with the yellow stamen.

 Here is my mom standing with Diamond Head in the background.  The cauldron would be amazing when lit in the evening.

 A peaceful koi pond with rocking chairs to enjoy some solitude.

 I love the curve this ginger decided to take.

 This wrought iron fence was very inspirational of the vegetation around the island.

 This is a lovely sculpture of Victoria Cleghorn, she has six other Hawaiian names that I'm afraid I may misspell.  There is also a peacock that she is feeding she lived from 1875-1899.

 This lovely mural is in the King's Court shopping mall.

 A yellow hibiscus, just lovely.

 This was in a courtyard shopping mall.

 A farmer's market set up at King's Court on Friday night.

 Some more tropical leaf motifs used in the architecture of a building.

Our first day in Hawaii was a special time.
