Photo Friday: Koi and Kids

Darya checks out the koi at the International Market Place in Honolulu

You'd never know that this shot was taken inside the tchotchke filled International Marketplace in Waikiki. If you work your way past the racks of shell lei, pineapple barrettes and refrigerator magnets you'll find a shady center courtyard, a koi pond, and the trunk of the huge banyan tree that embraces the market.

What is Photo Friday?

• Post a travel photo on your site. It can be about any topic, as long as it is G-rated.
• The focus of the post should be on your photo.
• You don't need to be a professional photographer (I'm not), but do showcase your best work, and make it big enough to see well!
• It's nice to include a few sentences about the photo, but it is not required.
• Link back here so that your readers can see all the other great Photo Friday posts.

     I love "secret" places like this - it's amazing where you can find them if you just look.

     Looks like we both had Hawaii on the brain this week. Like Mara, I love finding the hidden spots in otherwise ordinary places. Kids are the best at helping us find them too. My son slows me down enough to actually look at where I am going.

     I love Koi ponds! Its funny that it would be in such a weird places though. I wonder how many people pass and not even notice.
