We brought the gray ringneck parakeet we found to a couple in Waianae who care for birds, including this wonderful, tame cochin, who followed us around like a puppy.

Made lemonade from giant lemon from Victor Sharov's Pacific Palisades home.

En route home from Kailua, stopped at Nuuanu Reservoir. I couldn't figure out how this dead crawfish got there.

Wanted to get a photo of Rudy, the ringneck parakeet we caught, before giving him up for adoption. He is quite the escape artist, so after a while, we started calling him Rudini. I wanted to call him Nomad when he came flying into our lives, starving. He ate 4 peanuts and a grape and promptly fell asleep. A good bird, but a handful.

In advance of Tim Burton's new Alice in Wonderland film, we did a fashion shoot for the Star-Bulletin, inspired by the Lewis Carroll tale, with clothing by ZhanVi Designs.

Giinko Maraschino performed atop a trailer before taking part in the Mardi Gras parade down Nuuanu Avenue in Honolulu's Chinatown. The dance group later won the night's costume contest.

First harvest of tomatoes. They're really small but five times more flavorful than store-bought with concentrated tomato flavor. I let some people at work taste, and they go, "Wow, tastes like tomato." I said they are tomatoes! (even if they're not much bigger than blueberries)

Running on empty again.
