Aloha all...
It was raining Monday in Koke'e, so Tashi and I went ten miles to 'Ele'ele for lunch at the Grinds Cafe then into Hanapepe and its Swinging Bridge. I haven't been in Hanapepe for months and months. I used to live there until 1995. There are a lot of changes. Here are the photos I took that day:

...
My view from the patio:
...
Hanapepe Bay.........................................Hanapepe Stadium lights
...
Shimonishi Orchids farm
...
Hanapepe below, Eleele above.
...
On down to Hanapepe Town:
...
Hanapepe Town is off the highway.
...
...
I decided to show Tashi the old river crossing farther up the Hanapepe Valley. We turned right here in the photo onto Ko (sugar cane) Road.
...
Ko Road
...
The Hanapepe River cut away a lot of the bank during the heavy rains a little while ago.
...
......
If your Karma is good, you can park here and not worry about rocks hitting you from above.
...
...
Red warning flags along the edge of the road.
...
...
......
The old river crossing road is gated off.......................................... Those houses are in Eleele.
...
......
In the old days, Kolo had a camp behind trees about in the middle of the photo.........................................................................
...
Flooded out taro patches.
...
Back to Hanapepe Town and the Swinging Bridge:
...

...
......
.........................................................................................Giorgio's Pickup.

Giorgio's!!! (He airbrushed my Rainbow Rangs way back then.)
...
......
The old pool hall place is now Banana Patch Studio....................Aloha Spirits used to be the "new" building.
...

We got back in the Tercel and drove through town and across the Old Hanapepe Bridge to see what has happened to the building where Boomerang Art's was located before Hurricane Iniki.
...
Seto Store building was rebuilt...
...
......
...but not the old "Boomerang Art" building.
...
We stopped for a shave ice in Waimea on the way back to Kekaha...
...

Back in Kekaha...

Today is May 5th. I took only two photos today...Jill's sunflowers across the way and Lani starting to paint a Mothers Day card:

That's it for this Artmail. I'll be painting more PF Greenbacks. Next one coming up:

Wednesday, Tashi and I are going to Koke'e (if it's not raining there) so I'll have some photos for Artmail 146.
Aloha, Art
