Joining in the current online fun. I experimented with a few descriptions and think that this one resulted in the best likeness.

My favourite coffee shop, and my local one when we lived in Portland was Sterling Coffee Roasters. I still order from them - only three days from Portland, and free postage. A great service. These arrived yesterday, including their Holiday Blend for the Christmas/New Year period.

Three bags of Sterling Coffee Roasters coffee on a kitchen counter: “Blendo Stupendo,” “Holiday Blend,” and “Chiapas Eupromex.” The bags are labeled with flavor notes, processing methods, and elevation of the coffee beans


Two sides of this evening.

A vibrant rainbow arcs across a cloudy sky at sunset, above a trimmed hedge and a leafless tree in the foreground.

A dark sunset sky with clouds and a crescent moon, with silhouettes of trees and hills on the horizon.


From a walk at Ho’okipa cliffs just over a week ago.

Small red graffiti-covered concrete building with a tall pole on top, set against a coastal landscape with grass in the foreground and a sunset sky in the background.


Inspired by the sticker posts of @maique. I spotted these while waiting to cross the road with my grandson.

Grilling this evening.

I felt as though this faint rainbow was kissing the sky this morning.

This weekend the north shore of Maui has seen a large swell visiting its shores. The photo below does no justice to the size of the size of the waves that were arriving here. Official figures say that at their largest they were between 18ft and 24ft. Zoom in to the far distance to see some monsters just breaking.

The roar of the water, the continual arrival of more waves, all made for quite the spectacle of the force and power of the ocean.

Incredible and beautiful.

Finally we have rain, along with two rainbows 🌈

This Praying Mantis was there to greet us when we returned home yesterday.
