Diamond Head Lookout 12/30/2012
Diamond Head Lookout 12/30/2012 (video)
I took my Swann Freestyle HD out to try it on the road around Diamond Head. I stuck the camera on my windshield and rolled through the lookouts. Check it out. There is a strange line that shows up in the images sometimes, I think it may be from the housing?? This video is shot in 720/60

Apricot Hibiscus - Hilton Hawaiian Villiage Waikiki
Apricot Hibiscus
This flower is blooming right in front of the Hilton Grand Waikikian building. A very beautiful flower. The orange color is very bright.
Mahalo eHow!!
How to Care for Apricot Hibiscus
Instructions
- 1
Plant your apricot hibiscus in spring, in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained garden soil. Add 1-part organic compost with every 4 parts of soil to improve soil drainage and fertility. Because this plant is frost tender, you might choose to grow it in a container if you live in an area with cool winters. Use a 12-inch pot with a drainage hole. Fill it with standard potting soil and move your plant indoors in fall.
- 2
Water in-ground and container plants well after planting. For in-ground plants, run a garden hose at a medium drip at the base for 15 to 20 minutes. For container plants, flood with water until it runs out the drainage hole. Maintain soil moisture until the plant begins to send out healthy new growth, and then water when the soil becomes dry.

Fertilize your apricot hibiscus frequently between spring and fall: use a plant food with an N-P-K ratio of 20-5-20 and repeat your application once every week or two. Follow product label instructions.
- 4
Inspect your apricot hibiscus plant for insect pests periodically. Aphids and spider mites are common pests that can affect your plant's health by sucking fluids from it. Showering your plant with warm water once a week can help to keep these pests away.
- 5
Spray your apricot hibiscus with insecticidal soap if an insect infestation becomes severe. Repeat your application every other day, according to product instructions, until all signs of the pest are gone.
- 6
Water your hibiscus more frequently if it begins to develop yellowing leaves. Insects can also cause this condition, so treat them with insecticidal soap if they appear to be present.

Waikiki Sunrise 12/30/2012 over Diamond Head
Waikiki Sunrise 12/30/2012 over Diamond Head (video)
Cloudy and raining this morning in Waikiki, that's great! Diamond Head is usually green this time of year but not this time around. It is very dry and we need more rain. Of course very little rain means great days for the beach and spectacular views. If you look closely you can see the hikers on top of Diamond Head taking photos of Waikiki. I can see the photographers hiking Diamond Head every day easily from my lanai but they usually don't show up on the time lapse. Have a great day! ALOHA
Did you know Time Warner may be charging a "lease fee" for your cable modem? They are doing it in my area. Check your bill.......

Around Waikiki 12/30/2012 on Waikiki Beach
I had a nice walk on the beach this morning in Waikiki. If you click on the link above you can watch the 5 minute slide show I put together. There is a little audio in there too so you can listen to the waves. There is still some vog lingering around O'ahu and creating some really nice sunsets. The air is getting a little cooler and almost seems like "winter"? I heard on the radio this morning about being careful not to pile up snow against the foundation. Not much trouble with that around here. The temperature now is 75 Fahrenheit here in Honolulu, it's also 75 degrees in Hilo roght now. The air is pretty clear, great time for a stay in Waikiki
