Aloha! Here's a tropical take on
7. Lines ...
There are always lines of people
waiting to buy shave ice at Aoki's in Haleiwa.
Sadly this old building is scheduled to be demolished,
and Aoki's will be closed on July 31, 2013.
They plan to reopen in another location.
The lines in these hibiscus petals are delicate and lovely.
9. A Flag ...
A flag on my favorite beach in the world (so far!)
And three more.
10. Broken ...
Terry holds the keys to our bit of Paradise.
(We actually stayed in the unit below the balcony.)
May's scavenger hunt!
After a mean spring in Colorado,
Terry and I relaxed
in the warmth and beauty of Oahu.
North Shore, Oahu
Thanks to Jill
and her Made with Love blog
for setting up the hunt.

So here we go with my results!
Scavenger Hunt May 2013: Oahu
1. Aqua ...
Surfers follow an aqua path through the coral to ride the waves.
Sunset Beach, Oahu

2. Four ...
A four-legged pal shares a paddle board.
3. Patriotic ...
Flags at half mast at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki
in honor of the Aurora victims
of the mass shooting at the Century Movie Theater
in Aurora, Colorado on July 20, 2012.
This had a profound effect on me when I saw them last July.
Having just flown in from my city of Aurora,
I was deeply moved by the care and concern of Hawaiians.
I felt the heart of America, and it was one of the most patriotic moments I have experienced in my life.

4. Door ...
Looking out the door of Foodland Super Market,
Pupukea, North Shore, Oahu,
and waiting for the rain to to slacken
so we can dash to our car.

5. Skyline ...
Wind Turbines dominate the skyline at Waimea Valley.
The low whoomp of their blades is amazing.

6. A Map ...
Wall art in our vacation rental
evokes the stick charts
ancient Polynesians created
as navigational devices.
The charts were significant
because they mapped
ocean swells and currents.
Islands on such a map
were represented by shells.

And three more.
10. Broken ...
A surfer rides just ahead of the broken edge of a wave.

12. Construction ...
The beach is always under construction.
Large waves move a lot of sand,
and the beach is different every day.

Last July B-P Beach was steep and narrow.
This May it is wide and flat.
Please note: Terry and I are leaving and will be traveling for the next three days. We won't have access to the internet. As soon as I get home, I am going to look at everyone's scavenger hunt photos. I cannot wait to see your results! Take care!
