Another day in Paradise.....Park anyway.

Another sunrise photo

We went to Paradise Park for a walk in the tropical forest...I so wanted to capture the feel of the place, but I think that is beyond my capabilities. There would have to be a way to post the smell and feel of the air and the sounds of the birds and the squish of the mud under our feet to really capture it, but here are a few pictures to at least give a glimpse.

These flowers smell amazingly wonderful...to us they are the essence of Hawaii...but we have no idea what kind of flowers they are. Anybody know?

Loved the huge trees!!! They were absolutely amazing!

These flowers were scattered all around the jungle floor. It took me quite a while to figure out where they were coming from....I finally saw a couple of them showing themselves from the very top of a very tall tree. I'm not sure if you can tell but these fell in the perfect spot right at the edge of a hole in the base of a tree with water filling the hole.

See the criss-cross pattern?

These looked like huge ferns growing over the little creek.

Manoa Falls

It was a great walk! we loved every minute of it! And it was totally worth the mosquito bites and mud slinging we got while walking.
