Quandary

The quandary: if I have taken no other interesting photos that day, is it better to post the sunset photos or post no photos at all?

Clear, Clear, Clear

Rich had unbelievably clear water for his birthday swim. Spectacular.

Which more than made up for the lack of whale song and scarcity of critters.

Surfing Culture

At first, surfer memorials look like they are surrounded by junk; but that "junk" relates to the surfing culture. Here there are broken surfboards, shell necklaces, and bottles and cans of spirits.

Of course, I had to take a photo of my favorite tree...

Another One Bites the Dust

I thought these housings for expensive cameras were supposed to keep the salty ocean water away from the cameras they hold. Apparently not.

Caught by a Wave

Recent high surf has made getting into and out of the ocean hazardous. For us swimmers and, apparently, for boats at the Kihei boat ramp. This one seems to have done some surfing on its way in to shore yesterday.

The Super Bowl - Our Way

Big surf, plus a desire to shake things up, drove us down to the very end of the road this morning, and it was worth the trek (over debris-covered pavement - rocks and coral tossed there by giant waves).

Usually all the beaches and roads are deserted on this day, but not everyone was watching the Superbowl today.

All Different

 Every day's sunset is entirely different. Especially this time of year when we get to watch Humpack Whales cruising by.
