Drive to Waianae

It is still Christmas Eve here.  We took a drive this afternoon up the west side of Oahu to Waianae.  We haven't been up that way yet so we did some exploring for a bit.  We stopped at a place that had lava formations at the beach.  It is riddeled with holes that the surf moves through. 

There are crabs that hang onto the rocks as the waves beat down over them; they remain in exactly the same place between waves. 

Here is the view back towards Honolulu from Makakilo.  In the foreground is a lot of construction for new houses.  In the distance Perl City is to the left and the towers of Honolulu are in the distance to the right.  Diamond head is the peak on the horizon that sticks out in the ocean on the right.

In a completely unrelated point.  We planted some hibiscus plants in the back yard.  The one M picked out had two nice blooms on it today.
