Adventure

Saturday afternoon the fearless explorer duo of The Winksyes set off on an adventure. It began, as other adventures have, at Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens in Kaneohe, HI. The duo packed a lunch, grabbed a camera, and were off to seek their fortune in the wilderness. Wary at first, the intrepid pair soon saw sure signs that an adventure was at hand.

Starting down the path. That tree bending over the road is a sure sign that adventure is upon us. The trees are always bendy in adventures.

"A" for Adventure!

A fork in the road. The first of many such choices that faced our wanderers

A narrow woodsy path...

...slowly yielding to a wide open field...

...with a stunning view. An adventure staple (watch the Lord of the Rings movies)

Shooting down our foes

These ducks assisted the explorers at the next fork in the road. I just love helpful woodland creatures.

The woods begin to close in. They always do.

Suddenly our heroine is trapped by the overgrowth! (Don't worry, I escape)

Yet another fork in the road



A troll bridge! We must cross before the goats get here

And though the path is blocked, the thrill seekers go on, undaunted

Their quest is rewarded with this lush fairyland (and a couple of pears, some cheese and a handful of crackers)

More photos of the gardens from this adventure to follow.
