No Runoff

I thought that with all the rain we got yesterday that runoff and brown water might be an issue in the ocean this morning. Nope. Instead I swam through crystal clear (but chillier than usual) water.

What's the Story

Just a couple of random shots from my walk along the beach this morning. What do you think? Wedding party? Or Computer Software Engineers between seminars?

Apparitions

They are like ghosts the way they can fade into nothingness. I am always amazed at how invisible Humpback Whales are underwater unless they are really, really close. These two swam by me today and immediately disappeared into the blue.

Natural Forces

I should look for an easier hobby, like herding and photographing stray alley cats.

The photo above is most (but not all) of the swimmers from this morning's ocean swim. It is impossible to get everybody into a shot.

The photo below was the same group. At least solid land has friction to hold people in place after I place them there. Unfortunately, water doesn't keep them from slipping apart when their magnetic repellant forces kick in. Either that, or these people truly cannot stand each other and try to get as far apart as possible (but I do not believe that).

Rentals

One of many equipment rental places on Wailea Beach.

Movie Time

I'm usually watching a movie around sunset time, but this evening I somehow became motivated to walk out my front door and take this quick snapshot. Okay, time to start the movie.

Dodging Clouds

All week I've been commuting 3 hours each day to photograph a residence in Kapalua - and on Maui driving three hours is a Big Deal. The client wants to see cloudless skies in the photos and today I managed to get one photograph between the clearing of one set of clouds and the arrival of the next. So, I'm back on the road tomorrow to dodge more clouds.
