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.

Visited my friend Keiko's Web site and went to her tarot link where I got these cards.

Wanted to capture this image of the Vuitton holiday window display before it goes away.

 

Chinatown has a rat problem and this is one of shopkeepers' solution. This is a beautiful, friendly cat I saw at a vegetable market.

Stuck in traffic in Waikiki, I could look around and saw this large, gated single-family home amidst all the high-rises along Ala Wai Boulevard.
