Testing Shortcut to post from Tot to micro.blog. It sort of works, but chokes on some text formatting.
Posting via iOS Shortcuts. Thank you to @yorrike for the Shortcut which I just found.
I’m really pleased with an iOS Shortcut that I created last night to create and maintain my Dropbox based Journal. Nothing mind blowing in there, but this time I made myself stick through the road blocks and now it works! 😊
Micro blogging from Alfred. Thank you for the workflow @jbwhaley. I’ve just come across it.
Vision 📷
Possibly not the clearest of photos, but it was good to see this. My vision this morning. Snow on the summit of Haleakala. ❄️ For this I zoomed in on a photo taken on my iPhone 7 Plus.
Leap 📷
This Leap Year day is a mix bag of weather here. Plenty of wind, occasional sun, and horizontal rain. Snow or freezing rain is expected on the summit of Haleakala this weekend.
I wonder where this would take Twitter? Republican mega-donor buys stake in Twitter and seeks to oust Jack Dorsey – report
Into day two of a bad migraine. I haven’t had one like this for a while. I’m trying to rest, but also raising my head above the parapet at times to try and get jobs done, before beating a retreat.

Shadows and sun. Reflection and light. Dark and rust. At Dia:Beacon on the banks of the Hudson River, NY.

Seeing with New Eyes
Thursday, February 27, 2020
I mentioned in my last blog entry how I live overlooking the Hana Highway in Maui. It is one of the major attractions for visitors to the island, to drive the two hour journey out to the town of Hana that sits at the far end of this road. Actually the two hour pin is from the town of Paia. Depending on where you are staying on island, the journey could be closer to three hours one way - and, “yes” you can stay in Hana.

Hurdle 📷
For one morning a year the freeway is not a hurdle to cyclists, as the annual Providence Bridge Pedal hits Portland every summer.

Finding Balance in my Life
Monday, February 24, 2020
There is a saying, that ‘a change is as good as a rest.' A few days ago I decided to make that change and it made me realize how little I make space for such in my life, and with that how much I do benefit from when I do honour the opportunity for doing something different. Over the weekend I headed out to YMCA Camp Keanae with two friends who are a part of the Maui community of The ManKind Project (MKP) here in Hawaii.

Flying over Greenland a few years ago.
I have to be honest that I am finding some of these photo prompts for the February challenge….well, a challenge.
Rest 📷
Balance 📷
Looking for some balance and perspective in my life, I spent the day in the beautiful setting of YMCA Camp Keanae on a work day exchange.
I’m heading out to beautiful Camp Keanae today with some friends for a work exchange day. We’ll be back out again in a few weeks for a men’s weekend.
Warmth 📷
Waiting for the rising sun to bring some warmth to the cold and windy Maui morning.
It’s blowing a gale outside. Wind, rain, warmer than the last week, but still cold. Dark outside, sitting inside listening to the wind blowing, my mind takes me back to winter in Britain and I suddenly feel at home. To sitting at home reading, writing, appreciating the solitude.
