Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono

or “The Life of the Land is Perpetuated in Righteousness”, which is the state motto of Hawaii.  Photos submitted by Lydia Munger-Little from Hawaii.

Yeah, it is a cliché.  But everyone thinks about palm trees when they think about Hawaii.  If you ask a person to name 5 things about Hawaii, I’m almost certain that a palm tree will be one of the items.

Makes you feel like you are sitting on a blanket just staring out at the waves.   North Shore of Oahu?  Not sure. 

I like the contrast the mushrooms make with the grass.  I also like the Smurf point of view.  

Aloha indeed.  

Love the Technicolor of Hawaiian Shave Ice.  

Art is the proper task of life.

The post title is from Friedrich Nietzsche.  Both photos submitted C. Dillard of Louisiana.  I like in the first photo of the theatre you can see the street sign for Louisiana. 


These next two photos were submitted by J. Pruett of Alabama. 

The first photo is from A. Ludwig in Florida and the second photo is from Nina Yoshida Nelsen from Indiana.  I like the perspective in the first photo and seeing “Music” on the stand.  The second photo just reminds me of small town America and the importance of the cinema in social life. 
 
This photo was submitted by Lydia Munger-Little from Hawaii.  I like the lures and definitely think they qualify as art.

This photo is submitted by C. Cruz Dintino from MA.  Not sure where this sculpture is,This sculpture is from the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, MA and thought it was pretty interesting. 

This photo is from G. Cook from North Dakota. 

I like this picture of scarecrows submitted by R. Danforth from New Mexico.
