On the upper floor of the Army Museum not far from this field is a display of Hawaiian winners of the Congressional medal of Honor. Staff Sergeant Kuroda was among them. This field is a park in the middle of Waikiki and has a wide variety of vegetation.
I'm always surprised by how long and massive the branches of tropical trees are. They need to spread wide to gain the most exposure to the sun.
Can you spot the breadfruits in this small breadfruit tree?
In this close up they are easier to see.
Seeing this tree swallowing an old fence reminds me of Old Man Willow that held Merry and Pippin captive near the beginning of The Lord of the Rings.
This Banyan tree is actually across the street from the park in the courtyard of the Hale Koa Hotel.
These tropical trees are quite a change from our trees in the Northwest. I hope you enjoy looking at the evidence of warm weather and sunshine while experiencing a vicarious walk through the park.
