Peaceful

Ko Olina, Oahu, Hawaii

One of the reasons I love Hawaii so much is because there are some very peaceful places! This one, that I found a few years ago, is one of those and each morning I go there to relax and plan out my life. ‘My Lagoon’, is the kind of place we all need, a place for thinking, meditation, re-evaluating and most of all ENJOYING LIFE!

My Lagoon

Ko Olina, Oahu, Hawaii

Each morning I walk to ‘MY LAGOON’, it is a secluded lagoon that very few people know about. I am usually the only person there, where it is peaceful and gorgeous! Because most of the time I am alone I can have fun taking photos of my feet without any stares! This day I RELAXED and watched as the waves came in and I caught this one as it bounced off the rocks, sitting just under the shore line!

Across the street from the Royal Palace is a parking lot and above the doorway is this beautiful tile work of Hawaii long ago. It shows the King and Queen of Hawaii, the ocean, flowers and mountains of Hawaii, to name a few things. I ❤️ Hawaii!!

Grand Stairway

Honolulu, Hawaii

The Iolani Palace is very impressive with it’s tall ceilings and large rooms. Here is where Hawaiian Royalty lived, the Kings and Queens of the past.

The entryway with it’s grand stairway was a perfect place to put my feet up and relax! And yes, even my flipflops had to be covered! ☺️

Iolani Palace

IMG_8760

Honolulu, Hawaii

In all the years that we have come here to Hawaii, we have never gone to the royal palace, so, we decided it was time to go.

It is a beautiful building that shows the grace and charm of the Hawaiian people.

I was amazed that for the 1800’s it was so modern. The Iolani Palace had electric lights before the White House and before Buckingham Palace, to me that is AMAZING! Way out here on the Hawaiian Islands they had electricity that early. The lights turned on for the first time at the Iolani Palace on July 21, 1886, wow! GO HAWAII!

Note: The flag is have mast because of the tragedy in Dallas, Texas last week!

Chinaman’s Hat

Kualoa, Oahu, Hawaii

It seems whenever we go to Oahu, we stop at Kualoa Regional Park so I can get a photo of Mokoliʻi, commonly known as Chinaman’s Hat. It is a pretty little island and on this sunny day the greenery on it really stands out!

Bird Of Paradise

Honolulu, Hawaii

We went for a ride up to the Punchbowl or the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. It is so peaceful there, reverence to all those who gave their lives for our freedom!

There I saw these flowers, Bird of Paradise, which were one of my mom’s favorite flowers. They are so unique and their colors are gorgeous!
