June 2026 Journal Photos

Bonsai Kamani

June first fell on a Monday this year. I worked on a bonsai kamani while Andrea worked in the yard.


Andrea took this photo on her morning walk: Wailupe Valley looking toward Koko Head.


This bonsai kamani needs some work. Kamani is a Polynesian introduction to Hawaiʻi. I grew this one from seed.

Andrea took this photo of her weeding and landscaping work Monday afternoon.

Writers Circle

Tuesday morning tennis was rained out. I attended the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) Zoom session of Writers Circle Tuesday afternoon.

We had six for the Zoom session and finished the two hour class half an hour early.


Wednesday morning I photographed this sulphur colored mushroom in a pot. I met Eddie at Kahala Mall and Warren at his house for HBA letter signatures.

Tennis

I played doubles tennis at the Kilauea courts. Andrea dropped me off, went shopping, and picked me up.


Andrea took a walk after breakfast and photographed this rain in Wailupe Valley.

We walked out to the highway, passing Holy Nativity Church, where Andrea's family used to go.


We walked to Nehu Park which is getting some new play equipment.


People were there with dogs illegally off leash. Andrew apparently didn't bring his ticket book.
