If I could have seen the horizon, the sun would have been rising as I took this photograph, rising on the shortest day of the year here in the northern hemisphere.

This train is the Maui Sugar Cane Train that ran on Maui’s West side, taking locals and visitors on a short 7 mile run. In the lead up to Christmas it use to run to Santa Land in the evening to pick up Santa so he could meet the kids. Sadly it stopped running in 2019.

Today is the first day of the 12 days of the Winter Wonder Photo Challenge on Micro.blog. The subject for today is Frost.
Living here on Maui frost is far from a common occurrence. Maybe you’ll see it at higher elevations and on the summit of Haleakala during the winter months, but definitely not where I live.
So I have chosen a photo that was taken in South Wales in December 2010.
I seem to be falling a day behind the last couple of days. This is yesterday morning’s rainbow. There were none this morning, so hopefully I am caught up now. 🌈️
Yesterday morning’s rainbow 🌈
A quiet beach on Maui’s north shore, strewn with tree stumps and the West Maui Mountains (Mauna Kahālāwai) in the background.
I caught a rainbow hiding out amongst the clouds yesterday morning. 🌈
A faint, partial rainbow this morning. 🌈️
The trees across the valley from us lit by the rising sun, the light on them contrasting strongly against the dark storm clouds behind them.
A Cardinal on the beach yesterday. I tried to also tried to catch a photograph of a Common Sandpiper (Hawaiian: Ōpae ʻula) that was searching for small crabs to eat, but it was moving too quickly.
I discovered this album on Apple Music a couple of evenings ago, and love it. I have it playing as dinner preparation is under way.

This evening’s sunset.
This morning’s double rainbow. 🌈
Looking out at Diamond Head, Honolulu.
Rainbow over the hills above Honolulu this afternoon. 🌈
A rainbow, in fact a double rainbow from mid morning yesterday. 🌈️
A rainbow seen at Ho’okipa Beach Park early afternoon today. By the time that I drove away a little later a second rainbow was visible above this one, and the colours of this rainbow appeared deeper against dark grey storm clouds. 🌈
I watched this rainbow morph in shape and size this morning. 🌈
Earlier this morning I was driving to the local recycling center and could see through the trees, a rainbow arching across the sky. By the time that I had arrived and parked up, it had diminished in size but was still there. 🌈
The wet and windy weather continues and with it the rainbows. Here is this morning’s. 🌈

I watched this rainbow, these rainbows form this morning. In fact I took photos at different stages thinking, “That’s it, it’ll fade soon,” and then this double rainbow emerged. 🌈
Yesterday morning’s briefly visible rainbow. I’m sure that there were many more as the day was very wet, but I was attending an event and did not get to see them. 🌈
This morning’s rainbow. It appeared gradually this morning. At first teasing, a faint colour in the sky hinting that a rainbow was there and yet maybe it wasn’t. Slowly the colours deepened and the arc of the rainbow grew, starting on the right and steadily reaching across the sky to what you see in the photograph. 🌈️
There were a number of rainbows this morning. They all formed in pretty much the same area of sky and so instead of showing the whole gamut of rainbows that appeared, I am going with the first one that I saw as I stepped outside this morning….and I didn’t get many photos of the others anyway 😏 🌈
Changing things up a bit. A black and white photograph of a rainbow, along with the moon yesterday evening. 🌈
