Think these are dragonflies . .?


Spalding House, part of the Honolulu Museum of Art, held its last Family Sunday Open House today, entrance is free.   The Board of Trustees has decided to sell it.  Asking price is $15 Million for the 3.4-acre parcel in Makiki.   It has stunning views of Diamond Head framed by branches of a large monkeypod tree just as you walk in the front door (which was going to be my blip, until I was able to capture these dragonflies)!  There are lush gardens with sculptures, a small pool, 2-Deborah Butterfield horses (created from found objects, wood, stone, aluminium), stone steps, magnificent old growth trees and gardens, a tennis court, which has been repurposed for art projects, a café, a small gift shop, a permanent installation of David Hockney in its own building, a wonderful sprawling house that has been converted to a rotating display of artwork.   It is so sad.
