Health Care and Farmers Market Sunrise


Art saw this cartoon this morning in the Honolulu Advertiser and got such a kick out of it that I just had to post it.



Then we got our reusable grocery bags and headed for the Open (Farmers) Market in Waiau. The rain stopped just in time for us and the sky was ablaze to greet the day.


We got a nice selection of vegetables for the week and are now off to start the day with a few errands.

  1. What an amazing photograph on the left--the people, the tree, the reflecting puddles in the streets...and that SKY! What a glorious way to start the day; I'm so glad you had your camera.

    That comic is a kick. I wish the silent majority would get louder--and a certain Party just get over itself. *sigh*

  7. Those photos look like oil paintings! You should consider enlarging them and hanging them on your wall.

  16. What a fantastic colour! This is like a painting! Sunrises and sunsets make the most beautiful sky photos. Thank you for sharing! Thanks for your enthusiastic comment about NZ. It is a beautiful country. The Maoris are Polynesian like many people on your islands. They came to NZ around 900 AD.Interesting culture they have.

  19. laughing housewife: Thanks a bunch!

    Reader Wil: I did love New Zealand. I was surprised at how many of the Maori words sounded Hawaiian.

    Sherri: We do have some lovely skies in Hawaii when the vog stays away.

    Linda: Thank you! :-)

    Michelle: It really helps that I always carry my little nylon bags with me on my backpack. I should keep a count on just how many plastic bags I've saved by doing that.

  20. You sure these are not oil paintings?? Wow wee, what a sky!

    I've been eating dig-provided meals in Tiberias for three weeks and now came home to a house devoid of fresh fruit and vegetables. Strange. Can hardly wait to go the the shuk tomorrow.
