Anna's Ranch Visit 9/25/10

Anna's Ranch located in Waimea Hawaii was visited by the participants in the Lehua Writing Project on September 25, 2010.

Anna's Ranch is a historic Hawaii ranch that was started and operated by the Lindsay family.  Anna Lindsay Lyman-Fisk was the last family owner.  On her death she left the ranch to a non-profit foundation to preserve the ranch and open it to the community. 











Impressions of Ann's Ranch

Stunning views of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa
A beautiful stream framed by majestic Hoku Hula.
Tranquil and peaceful.
Cool wind, clean and fragrant blows down from the Kohala Mountains.
Ranch house and buildings are part of the landscape.

Time seems to move in many directions.
The past touches the now and the future.
Many people lived, loved, and died in this place and called it home. 

How could you not love a place so beautiful?

Today we experience this place of beauty and wonder.
We ponder the lives of those who came before us.
And wonder about what the future will hold for this place.

I hope to return someday to walk the land in peace.
