Pineapples and Blue Stop Signs

When I went to Oahu, Hawaii, I was pleasantly surprised to see how pineapples grow.  They grow on the ground.  Take a look:

 

 

What was even more interesting were the blue stop signs:

 

 

 

 

Not all of the stop signs were blue in Oahu, but it was neat to see some of them being blue.  It makes you think twice about your environment and what you are used to.

 

   



Ancient Ruins in O'ahu, Hawaii

Ancient Ruins in O'ahu, Hawaii

During the summer of 2011, I vacationed in O'ahu.  One of the places I visited was Waimea Valley.  Waimea Valley is one of the last partially intact native Hawaiian lands.  It is called an Ahupua'a.  The land consists of 1,800 acres of valley with botanical and ecological significance.  There are many animals that roam freely in this preserved land.
