Found the Beach


There is a beautiful little beach right in front of our house, yet we seldom seem to make it down there. Since it was the kind of thing to do at the beginning of summer, we swam out to look for green sea turtles - and found quite a few of them.

And, hopefully, we will remember the beach is there next week, too.

Jam Packed


I drove up into the Iao valley this very hot past Wednesday. The road was jammed with parked cars and the river was filled with people keeping cool.

I'm perfectly happy with the cool ocean breezes, thank you very much.

Eye to Eye


Even though I don't get out very early, I am often one of the first to arrive at the beach in the morning. It's nice having the whole place to myself.

I wanted a photo of the new coral which is growing where the bleaching occurred a couple of years ago; but when I dove down, I was eye to eye with this little octopus. What a treat!

This was the only turtle I saw this morning.

Goodbye Ignacio


Maui's Pink Cap swimmers said "Farewell" to Ignacio with an ocean swim this morning.

The water was glassy, it was like swimming in a pool - only better.

Conditions were exquisite, and we even encountered a few turtles along the way.

Staircase to Nowhere


This strange staircase, which goes nowhere, was built only a few years ago for a housing development which still hasn't taken off. 

Shell ginger is in bloom right now all over my neighborhood.

We're still having some fine sunsets.
