One Really Big Pineapple Maze...Cool!

For some reason I have this obsession with pineapple and popcorn...why? I love fresh pineapple, always have. My mom would make fresh pineapple juice for me with a juicer. She was a bit of a "granola girl" where she liked to try new fandango health diets. I grew up on Spiraltin protein shakes and fresh juice from the juicer. I loved having fresh pineapple juice, absolutely fabulous and I recommend if your not allegeric to the fruit, that could be very detrimental if you were. 
So during church I was thinking of pineapple and the start of the company Dole Pineapple. I remember when I was a little girl, I think I was one and a half years old, my family went on a trip to Hawaii and visited a pineapple plantation. I thought I would look up what happened to the plantation and where is it now. Here's the link to the Dole Pineapple Plantation.
While perusing the site I found that they have made a ginormous pineapple maze...I wish I had that kind of time on my hands! Here's a little bit of information from the page and a picture of the maze...

In 2008, Dole Plantation’s giant Pineapple Garden Maze was declared the world’s largest maze. The maze stretches over three acres and includes nearly two and one-half miles of paths crafted from 14,000 colorful Hawaiian plants. Walk through the flora of the islands as you seek out eight secret stations that each lead you closer to the mystery at the heart of this larger-than-life labyrinth, one of only a handful of permanent botanical mazes in America. The fastest finishers win a prize and enter into the history of Dole Plantation, with their names recorded on a sign at the maze’s entrance.

Popcorn & Pineapple venture into the picture biz!





So popcorn and pineapple felt like they needed a little extra money so they invested in a camera. Really?! How in the world could a camera help these little pieces of yummy scrumptious snacks make a little cash? Here are their little ventures with their investment...

Popcorn...?!

For you health nuts out there....click on popcorn!

Pineapple & Popcorn contemplate life...

Pineapple thought, "Why is there sorrow?" and asked Popcorn if he had an answer.

Popcorn nodded his head said, "Hmm..."

Popcorn showed Pineapple a verse he read this morning about sorrow.
"And thus we see the great call of diligence of men to labor in the vineyards of the Lord; and thus we see the great reason of sorrow, and also of rejoicing-sorrow because of death and destruction among men, and joy because of the light of Christ unto life."
Pineapple nodded his head said, "Hmm..."

Popcorn & Pineapple go bird watching!







Pineapple and Popcorn go out to dinner. What would pineapple and popcorn eat for dinner? There's a rhetorical question for those reading to think about? It's like contemplating the creation of the universe, maybe not that cosmic. Any who, after dinner they were going to watch a movie, but they decided there was nothing good to watch at the theater. That's ironic really, nothing good to watch at the theater, what is this world coming to, an end? Oh dear, heaven help us all! What would popcorn and pineapple think is a good movie anyway? I don't think popcorn would want to watch a corn kernal heat up and explode into what is now called popcorn. That might be a little much for popcorn, but then again he might enjoy some explosive action. That's beside the point really...

Instead of watching a movie, pineapple suggested they go look at birds around Utah lake. While they were visiting the lake they decided to take a few pictures.

Pineapple is really knowledgeable about wildlife and popcorn just likes the beauty of the wildlife, so on their journey pineapple informed popcorn about the beauties of the birds surrounding the lake.

This first picture is the road around the lake, the second is a pair of two female black birds sitting on a barb-wire fence along the road by the lake. The third picture is a pair of cinnamon teal ducks swimming along the stream by the lake. Surrounding the lake a reed like plants, forgive my lack of knowledge (like I said popcorn was the one who liked to take pictures and did not know everything about the wildlife around the lake), and yellow headed blackbirds were perched on the branches. Swallows were diving in and out everywhere to catch dinner before they roosted for the night. Popcorn found another yellow headed blackbird perched on the fence and thought it would be a cool photo. The last picture is of a beaver dam surround the lake. Pineapple and popcorn like beavers as long as the beavers don't eat them.

Popcorn linked to Pineapple

One day popcorn thought, "What if every word in my blog post was linked to another site? Could you do that?"
Apparently pineapple has esp and read popcorn's mind and did it!

Pink pineapple



Pink pineapple, imagine that... Either you've left out your pineapple a little too long or you got a little carried away with the food dye. Strange thought, but I'm going to own it!
What if a pineapple had a camera, what would it take pictures of? Other pineapples, hmmm, that would be a little vain, meh, maybe. Here's a little practice photography with my new camera.
