Something balancing... Cards.. Bottles... Cans... Rocks.. What ever. Found these rocks balancing while photo shooting with my good friend Dave aka punaguy. Some one was going around the beaches making these balancing rocks. Show me something balancing. Aloha... Errol

Looks like a "primitive Easter Island" miniature..even if primitive is redundant. : )

Way up high, this balancing act... great idea Errol!!!!

Tom, it sure looks primitive but in no way a part of the Hawaiian culture. I think the guy who made this was not from Hawaii but from the states. Stella, this little gal probably could keep her balance all day and not fall. Did she collected the avocados? Aloha

White Balance Sorry mines a pile of stones too :D Great subject Errol :)

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

kimmers ♥ :O)

Whoa Kimmers, what a happy find. That is a great shot of her balancing with the red rocks as backdrop. I hope her balance didn't fail her.. ;] Errol, great idea for a Simon. Never would have thought of it. Got some great stony entries already. And an avacado picker. :) Mine's more "ballsy", I hope you like it. Should look nice next to Kimmers' entry. ;-]

Good one Joe, now I'm looking around for some toys to play with. Excellent idea. Aloha...Errol

KiwiMiss posted Sat, 04 February 2006 at 9:47 PM

OK here's mine. Took me a while to think of something other than stones! I soooo wanted the high key kinda look like Joe's .... tried a few things to no avail ... just ain't got the knowledge yet to know how to go about it *sigh*. Excellent choice for a Simon, Errol. ... Noeline :)
