Down & Up

These are my neighbors just six houses down the street. We have the better scenic view but they get to watch wave after wave of kayakers pass by every morning.

And then there's the view uphill. Above us are golf courses and then ranchland almost all the way to the summit. 

Mardi-Gras Makeover

In the spirit of the holiday I gave this brown anole a Mardi-Gras makeover in photoshop. Party On.

A Quiet Farewell

 This morning the Maui Pink Cap swimmers gathered in spite of rain, wind and crashing waves to say farewell to one of our own.

We will miss you, Kathleen.

Aloha Kathleen

 Aloha Kathleen!

What can I say other than - We will sorely miss you.

A hui hou...

Non-Leap Day Swim

 A couple of us had another excellent adventure swim this morning from my back yard.

Lots of my critter friends came out to greet us and even swim along side for a while.

No whales today, but at least they made an effort and serenaded us the entire time.

Not Gray

I am still thoroughly enamored of our fields of wildflowers here in the desert where normally everything is a uniform gray color.  Also, this row of trees caught my eye this morning.

My Haystacks

I wandered out my door this morning wondering what the heck I was going to photograph today. I walk pretty much the same route time after time after time, and see pretty much the same sights every time.

Then I thought of poor Monet living out in the country with nothing to paint but boring farmland and whatever food happened to be upon his table. At least I had Makena, Wailea and Kihei to work with.

So I did another light study of my haystacks (the ocean shore). I was also blessed with a couple hundred people doing a race through the neighborhood, so I took a couple snaps of them.

What the heck was I worrying about again?
