Detail of mural in Wailuku Food Court, showing a Main Street, Wailuku in 1900.
Mother’s Day at Baby Beach, so called as a reef just off the shore creates a natural and safe pool for kids to swim and play in. Yesterday’s weather was near perfect, a good temperature and next to no wind. The beach was busy.
Today’s papaya harvest.
Sun, ocean and the island of Moloka’i in the distance. This evening at Ho’okipa cliffs.
Last night at Blue Note Hawaii to see Jeff Goldblum and his Jazz band. Good music and much talking with the audience from Jeff. He really gave of himself generously. A fun evening.
A quiet little nook.
Late afternoon shadows.
Sharing the beach late afternoon with this local visitor who was taking a nap. It’s a turtle…I respectfully kept my distance.
At Maui Ocean Center with my grandson today. It was my first visit there, but not his. I was very impressed and would love to go back and have more time to read about the exhibits.
Now there’s a rainbow…and if you look close there is another one above it.
Gone are the beautiful, still, sunny days. The weather now seems to be alternating between wind and sun, to wind and torrential rain.
One day this will be a beautiful Plumeria tree, bearing fragrant flowers. For now it is a stump in the ground.
Cow at sunset yesterday evening at Hookipa.
The race is on…
Evening shadows.
Although I live in Hawaii, I actually spend very little time at the beach. Today was a welcome exception to that. Restful and warm.
Happy Sunday ☀️
Waiting for the papayas to ripen.
To infinity and beyond…. (Sunset at the cliffs, yesterday evening).
You might have to look very carefully here, but that white dot in the middle of the photo is the International Space Station. I was sitting outside last night having dinner and saw this white light moving across the sky. No accompanying flashing lights of aircraft, and I wondered if it might be the ISS. I ran inside for my phone and the Sky Guide app. Sure enough the ISS was flying over Maui.
Hazy sunset, yesterday evening. Quiet and still. Restful at the end of a busy day.
In case you get lost in Wailuku.
Playing around with portrait mode and depth of field. Also the new beta of Sunlit…looking good.
Yesterday evening’s show.
Big sky this morning. Using it to clear my head and expand my mind, in breaks from the computer.
Saturday night sitting by a fire with family and neighbors, toasting marshmallows. The air was so still and above us an ink black sky was covered in stars.
A beautiful sunset, filling the sky with a red glow, at the end of a very, very wet day.
It’s a very wet day here today. It hasn’t stopped raining since we woke up, and not just a light drizzle! ☔️
The clouds have parted and revealed snow covering the summit of Haleakala. I have never seen so much up there. I’d consider driving up, but it is probably blowing a gale up there and also a traffic jam to see such a rare event.
