Sunday. And a slow Sunday at that.
Here are a couple of photos as you launch your day.
Top photo: There’s a small patch of shell ginger growing alongside our driveway as you turn in from the street. My mother planted it decades ago. It could go back fifty years, although I’ll have to dig back through old photos to look for evidence of when it was started. In any case, I noticed a bunch of blooms over the past couple of days. This morning I stopped for a photo. Most were wilted, but this one was still beautiful. I had to turn it around to see the colorful interior.
And we’ve been seeing ducks more regularly at Waialae Beach Park. There’s a group of seven that have been swimming in the stream. Then a day or so ago #8 appeared with a single duckling in town. It’s not a great photo, but it does give you the idea!

I admire that photo of the ducks. It’s well composed, and the motion of the water adds a slight shimmering effect to the reflections of the palms and trees–an impressionistic effect. The ducks, on the other hand, are silhouettes and sharply defined (no shimmering). They are generating slight wavelets of their own as they swim along.
Mahalo for showing the pictures. My favorite is the flower as I don’t think that is grown on the mainland.
Aloha,
It is possible that these ducks are native to Hawai’i like the Nene?
