Superbowl Sunday.

Leaving the guys at home watching the Broncos and Panthers battle it out,  I went to the Ala Moana SC for a walk, thinking that it wouldn't be crowded.

The parking building was very empty.

The mall, however, was pretty busy, mostly with tourists.

There was a Chinese dance troupe performing on Center Stage as part of the Chinese New Years celebrations.

The newly remodeled carp stream is lovely. Water in public places is soothing like the fountains in Vienna and canals in Holland.
Here from the Mall, we just have to look makai (towards the ocean) to see the blue Pacific Ocean, and mauka (towards the mountains) to see the Mountain range above Manoa Valley. 

I look forward to Chinese New Years because it's narcissus time.
This beautiful Chinese narcissus bulb is from Janie.
I once took a class in narcissus bulb crab claw carving, but I also love  the natural upright blooms.
Happy Chinese New Years and Year of the Monkey.
