イベントの案内

カピオラニ公園駐車料金ボックスにイベント案内がセットされています。週末イベントがある時駐車禁止案内がズラッとセットされます。大きなイベントの時水曜日位からセットされているのでこの案内を見ていると週末のイベントがよく判ります。駐車禁止の時間もイベントに応じ表示されているのでどんな規模なのかもよく判ります。案内を見てイベント情報を確認しています。

絵になる風景

カピオラニ公園 テニスコートから北西方向に歩いてくるとこの場所に辿り着きます。ヤシの木がどのように考えられて植栽されたのか 元々自生していたのか 幾何学的な配列で並びその向こうにパフの木が枝を広げ爽やかな景色を見せてくれます。芝生の緑 背の高い木々 枝を張った木々 といつまで見ても飽きない景色を提供してくれます。シャッターを自然に押してしまいます!!
This is northwest area from tennis court in KP park. I'm thinking about these palm trees are grow naturally or somebody put in here and then some puff trees over there. Nice green grass, tall trees, I never get weary of looking at this view so I take picture spontaneously.

Welcome back to KP Ichiro-san & Reiko.

They came from Eniwashi Hokkaido Japan last Saturday and will go back home Nov.28.

The trawler, the Diasan Shinsho-maru, capsized off Chiba`as its three-man crew was trying to haul in a net containing dozens of huge Nomura's jellyfish.

Each of the jellyfish can weigh up to 200 kg and waters around Japan have been inundated with the creatures this year. Experts believe weather and water conditions in the breeding grounds, off the coast of China, have been ideal for the jellyfish in recent months.

自然の屋根

水族館から海に向かって進むと海水プールがあります。そのプール正面に樹木できれいに木陰ができるように枝を張り屋根が作られています。ワイキキ方面からビーチ沿いに散歩をしてきてこのプール辺りに来るとチョッピリ休憩したくなる距離なのでこの木陰を利用して少しの間腰かけて周りを眺めながらチョット一息 いい場所なんです!!

フラダンス Akemi Kobayashi, Hula Dance in Osaka.

カピオラニテニスコートの皆さん御久ぶりです。

私も、テニスがしたい。

今日は、地元の小学校での文化祭の催しもので、フラダンスのお披露目に成りました。

ハワイ仕込みもあり、初めてとしては良い出来栄えだったと思います。この結果に気を良くして同好会を作って続けると息巻いています。日本でのフラダンスの人気は、大きなものがあります。

Hello everybody how're u guys? I wanna play tennis. I had Hula dance announcement @ loco elementary school today.

I did well even first time for me I took lesson in Hawaii that's why. We'll have Hula club it's exciting. Hula is so popular in Japan .

案内表示

クヒオビーチ沿いにカピオラニ公園へ進んでくるとこの案内表示が見えてきます。左に進むと水族館・テニスコート方面です。右に進むと Sans Souci Beach へと進んでゆきます。夕方この案内に沿って Sans Souci Beach をブラブラ歩き小鳥を見たり海を眺めサーファー達を目で追いながらサンセットが始まるのを待つのもいいものです。のんびり歩いてみましょう!!

Compare my two pictures from 37 years ago and today.

Compare the two pictures of Tom & Barbara .

The black and white photo is taken Oct 5 1946 in Reno Nevada.
The color photo was taken the same day, Oct 5 2009 at the same place, Reno Nevada for their 63 wedding anniversary.
What a difference 63 years makes. and 63 years later? 63 years ago Tom was a handsome young Navy man also Barbara was a beautiful young lady. Now, 63 years later, they are showing us " how sweet a devoted couple they are"

ウイークエンド・アート

毎週末動物園フェンス沿いで絵の展示販売が行われています。地元の画家,日本の画家,色々な国からやってきた画家達が自分の作品をフェンスに飾り展示販売しています。展示されている絵をゆっくり見て歩くのも週末の日課にするといいものです。週末テニスの帰りにゆっくり歩いて展示されている絵をのんびり眺め豊かな気持ちにさせてもらっています。1日中木陰になる場所なのでどんな時間に行っても木陰があり絵を見て歩くには非常に良い場所なので週末が楽しみです。
This is an exhibition and sale next to Zoo every weekend. Many loco artists, Japanese artists and other artists from the world showing thier work and selling.It's nice to see and walk in weekend. There's shade all the time so good to go for walk I like that.

Another Day in Paradise!!!

Played and watched some great matches yesterday afternoon at Ala Moana Tennis Courts. The only problem is that there have been a lot of small termites flying around that seem to be attracted to the lights. But the tennis and attitudes are great and it's always fun to play tennis while watching the beautiful sunset; one eye on the ball and the other on the sunset! It doesn't get much better than that..."Aging in Hawaii" is the way to go!!!

Happy birthday Ben & Fumiko !!

Thank you, Keith.

The strings of wind screens are destroyed by strong sunshine and wind. We installed them 8 months ago. What a strong sunshine and wind!! Keith is repairing them every time, when he finds out.
