A Sari-Sari Life-Hawaiian Style. Monday, June 24, 2013. A Korean Feast in East Hawaii. A Korean feast in store overlooking Keaukaha bay. There's no shortage of cuisine that our international food group hasn't covered from around the globe. Even though our island lacks many of the wonderful cuisines of the world, it's great that food groups like ours can experiment and share our cooking discoveries with our monthly themed events. Prior to our big feast, it's our tradition to have a quick discussion of the...

There are a lot more coming as the clusters of lavender blooms indicate. To see the most beautiful blooms from across the planet, head over to Today’s Flowers. Sweet little blo...

This cemetery was established during World War II and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Far Out Flora's Blog. Gardening in the Outerlands of San Francisco. Max the Border Collie. May 18, 2011. This is how it looked back then. Almost a year ago, I planted this metal pot rack. Into a succulent hanging thing. Lots of little cuttings, lots of sphagnum moss, lots of potential. Well, it’s all grown up now. Not exactly what I expected, but enough to salvage. A little fluffing and it’s looking sweet again, better than ever. I can’t wait for another 3-6 months to pass to see what happens next&...

On such a nice sunny and blue sky day, how can you cancel anything on this beautiful Sunday - besides it's the calm weather before the storm and it was quite a gorgeous day and celebration.

A Sari-Sari Life-Hawaiian Style. Wednesday, November 27, 2013. It's very easy to enjoy a day on the water or in the ocean from surfing or paddling, snorkeling above coral filled with tropical fishes, sailing in aqua colored bays or even swimming with the giant manta rays feeding on plankton. Even exploring inland to visit some of the amazing waterfalls that dramatically fall into cold and deep pools below are fun to discover and enjoy a refreshing swim below.
