Gazing into Haleakala's Crater

Looking down into Haleakala’s crater (photo courtesy of my wife), yesterday. It was as a beautiful day to be up there. Up above the clouds, no wind. I have not visited the crater for two years, but so love being there. It is a different world. The size of the crater I find hard to grasp, and then the power of nature that created this mountain that rises up 10,000ft. A few years back I walked through the crater and want to go back, this time to stay overnight in one of the huts available for long distance hikers.

So beautiful and humbling.

A young crescent Moon, Venus and Jupiter at dusk this evening.

A first try at Japanese Calligraphy

I quite pleased with the simple Landing Page that I have added to my website. The calligraphy I created using the Zen Brush 2 app on my iPhone.

Update 5/20/2020 - I have now moved my website to a new home, and so that page is no longer available. But here is the image that I was referring to. Belief framed

Letting the outside in as the rain pours.

Reflections through the glass.

Patterns of nature. Broccoli, a November harvest.

After reading @philipbrewer’s recent blog post I decided to head to the nearby cliffs at Ho’okipa this afternoon to take a walk overlooking the ocean.

A bed of fragrant plumeria awaits the arrival of the husband and wife to be.

Sunrise a couple of mornings ago.

Red sky in the morning, shepherd’s warning.

It was actually quite a pleasant day, though I am still yearning for that rain.

Sometimes it is good to get down to ground level, to lie on the ground, feel its solidness beneath you, notice the details, the cut grass, the smells, and then just stare into the distance, at ground level.

The Crescent Moon and Jupiter (if you zoom in) low in the sky as the sun sets.

Christmas has landed in Lowes…in September!? 😳🙄

South shore Maui. Sunset this evening.

Moon rise over the Barn.

I woke up this morning to the Full Moon setting, perfect light and the birds singing.
