In Da Gadda Da Vida

---

A few weekends ago, The Foster Gardens celebrated it’s Hundredth Anniversary with entertainment and free admission to the Gardens. Also many speeches were made praising the founder, Mary Foster for her visionary and progressive actions especially for a woman living during that era. Many of the trees there were huge in girth and tall almost giving the impression they could be about 500 years old, but mostly likely were not, as the garden was only a 100. Many of the trees were from other tropical countries of Asia, South America and Africa. She was also credited with bringing back a cutting from the original Bodhi Tree that the Buddha had attainment enlightenment under. Somewhere in India there is said to be a Mary Foster Temple dedicated to her by the people.

In the following weeks, an annual Indian Pow-wow was held at Thomas Square in Honolulu, which was a photographer heaven with the swirl of colors, action shots and other activities.
