Wooden Warrior Statue


If you missed yesterday’s WW photo, click here.
Whose big toe is it?

It belongs to Kamehameha I

I visited his wooden statue located at Lahaina Center, Hawaiian Village Exhibit.
Lahaina is a town in Maui located on the west side of the island.

Who is Kamehameha I?
He was a warrior who fought victorious battle and become “Lord over the Hawaiian islands.”
Kamehameha I established the Kingdom’s Capital in Lahaina.
He died on May 8, 1819 and his remains were secreted in an area unknown to this day to protect the “life force” (mana) that watches over Hawaii.


This wooden statue of Kamekameha I was carved on site in August – October 1993
by Lou Benatto, Jr, a Master Sculptor.

Kamehameha I wooden statue was done in great detail.
It’s enormous and surprisingly done in only two months.
I’m amazed to see it.

If you plan to visit Maui, make sure to visit the
the Hawaiian Village Exhibit at Lahaina center.

For a Good Cause ✿ VOTE for ME ✿


I had a Aloha Hawaiian themed photo shoot last May.
What’s the reason for this photo shoot.
My mom submitted my photo to be part of 
Maui Humane Society’s 2012 calendar.

The Maui Humane Society facility is located on a beautiful tropical grounds in Maui, Hawaii. According to my mom when she visited the place it was busy. As you enter, a happy bulletin board is posted of all the animals that found their forever homes. She saw lots of dogs in the kennel that are in need of a new home. Maui Humane Society has no time limit for keeping animals. All of the animals rescued by them stay at the shelter for as long as possible. Many pets wait for months for their forever homes. The Society spends an average of $255 on every animal in its care. You don’t need to live in Maui to adopt a pet from Maui Humane Society. The Maui Humane Society transports pets off the island, out of state and internationally.

Here’s the photo I submitted. My Hawaiian cape is made by mom.
There are 114 entries.
From July 5th – 19th there’s an online voting to be the People’s Choice. 
The winner will be featured on the January 2012 page.
✿ VOTE for me, SUGAR.✿
You can vote for as many as you like, as often as you like, for as much as you like. Your vote(s) ($1/each) will be greatly appreciated and it will be a tremendous help to maintain the facility of Maui Humane Society.

My photo is in the middle of the 8th row.
