Aloha!


No, Ocala is not a suburb of Honolulu. I found these delightful characters in a Pier 1 store and thought they might brighten the beginning of your weekend.

You are always welcome, of course, in Ocala!

Cool - suddenly I'm craving a fruity drink out of a coconut with a little umbrella!

Nicely done decoratives. They can sure give your weekend a bright start with their big bright smile.... Nice capture with really nice colors....

I don't know exactly what happened here, the comment posted itself before I clicked... The end of course is "two weeks"!

Hilda said...

Goodness, you really can find anything and everything at Pier 1! I'm not sure if I find those masks welcoming or scary though ;)

Have a wonderful weekend, Jacob!

Scary, but cute. If they were outside a doctor's office, I'd run.

All I could do when I saw this shot was laugh. Very good humor !

It worked. A great way to brighten my Saturday :-)

This is one of the funniest images I have seen around. Very good shot, great colors and composition.

James said...

Aloha. That reminds me, I used to go to Pier one all time but suddenly stoped about 20yrs ago. There's one down the street I think I'll check it out. Those welcome charactors are great.

Lois said...

What a great shot Jacob! I would not have been able to refrain from taking a picture of these two characters either.

Leif Hagen said...

Aloha Jacob and Lois Anne! After many years of marriage you HAVE started to look alike!

Judy said...

How nice! :-)

Frank said...

In Ocala? They are wonderful and a great find so far from their homeland. (I do hope you gave at least one of them a new home with you guys? Both of them?)

Frank de Jol said...

tapirgal said...

crocrodyl said...

EG CameraGirl said...

How cool these are! This is the kind of decor I appreciate in someone else's home or in a place like Pier 1. ;-)

Lowell said...

I agree, EG - that's why we left them at Pier 1...actually, if I had a beach condo, I might put them up there...

Becky said...

Very tropical, and nice colours. I like this post!

It makes me smile :) I like Hawaii, not because I've been there but I like LILO & Stitch .. it is cute one you must like it.
