In Awe


Yet another exquisite morning on Maui.

Having moved here from Chicago, I am still in awe of the weather.

With the exception of two or three days each year, every day on Maui is as beautiful as the most perfect summer day in Chicago.

I love it.

Ignore This Swimmer - Please


Dolphins, dolphins, and more dolphins decided to join me on my ocean swim this morning. They just kept coming. Which was alright by me. Maybe if they pay attention, they might learn something and improve their swim stroke technique. Ummm, or then again, maybe we had better hope they don't.

Multi-Armed Monster


I dove down to swim into the shark cave this morning, when this multi-armed monster emerged from the shadows. I think he was more startled than I was.

I used to use this same camera in years past, but without all the elaborate lighting equipment (there is no way I could swim with all that stuff slung over my shoulder).

Balance is Good


I enjoyed yet another absolutely perfect Maui beach morning today.

And now I get to spend the afternoon and evening in front of the computer turning ordinary photographs into exquisite images.

I have the best possible life.

Happy 45th, Christine


I was fortunate to be invited to join the in-ocean celebration of Christine's 45th birthday (give or take a few minutes). It has been a long time since I've had this much fun on a swim. Click HERE for more photos from this morning's swim.

Hot Water


After a weekend of swimming in icy mountain streams, the ocean felt so very warm for this morning's swim. Oh, and I've posted lots more photos from the weekend - Click HERE to see them.

What A Weekend


Many mahalos to the Maui Pink Cap Swimmers for an amazing weekend of swimming to waterfalls and of jumping off cliffs. What a great time.

Since hundreds of photos were involved, these three are a minute sampling with more to come over the next several days.
