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. 🌈
The local cockerels greeting a new day (you’ll probably need to turn up the volume).
Yes there were rainbows today. 🌈
This one from this morning:
And this one from this afternoon:
Happy Halloween to those who celebrate. 🎃
I usually find myself watching from the sidelines, and one year I headed to the summit of Haleakala to watch the sunset and the stars come up…it is possible to see so many more at 10,023ft (3,055m). But boy it was cold! 🥶
I don’t usually celebrate Halloween, though as I drove home from my men’s group this evening I enjoyed seeing all the spooky decorations that people had outside their houses.
About to pull out of the local recycling center this evening I spotted this rainbow. 🌈
This morning’s double rainbow. 🌈
The Bunker: Monday 27th October, 2025

Driving from the north east of the island, The Bunker is visible from a distance. If you are aware of what the last painting looked like, you’ll notice any changes as you approach the field from the east. This morning I did notice a difference, though found it hard to believe given that it was updated only a couple of days ago. I was early and had time, so I pulled over to jump the fence and walk over to the building.
Catching Up on Rainbows
Sunday, October 26, 2025
Last week’s busyness and frustration saw me not posting any rainbow photos. That does not mean that there were none, as there most certainly were. I captured a number of them and am now posting them here in order to catch up.

I noticed a new face to The Bunker as I drove by yesterday, but time did not allow me to stop, clamber over the gate, walk across the field and take a photo. So passing that way this morning, and having time to do all of the above…I did so!
The rainbows are starting to appear with increased abundance now. One that I missed last night while we were out eating presented itself in dark vivid colours at dusk. The wetter weather of the last couple of days is definitely helping.
This double rainbow appeared this morning. 🌈
Images of the 98th Maui County Fair
Friday, October 17, 2025
The 98th Maui County Fair ran for four days, ending on Sunday October 5th. This was the first County Fair since COVID, and from what I have heard and experienced was packed from the day that it opened. I’ve read it reported that 30,000 people were in attendance on some days (every day?). Waiting for rides at times, especially going into the weekend evenings, was 45 minutes to an hour.
This morning’s rainbow. It did not join, but the two ends were visible as shown in the two photographs. 🌈
…And this afternoon’s rainbow. Two rainbows in a day, one at either end, maybe the sign of wet weather returning? 🌈

This morning’s (partial) rainbow. 🌈
Two photos of the cloud patterns this morning. The one on the left taken just before sunrise, the other was taken about an hour later.
A flowering Yucca_gloriosa in our front yard. I don’t think that I have ever seen flower at this time of year. I associate them with Spring.
The unexpected rain last night - at least I saw no forecast for it - brought faint rainbows in the smattering of clouds that were in the sky this morning. 🌈
I took this photo a couple of Sundays ago. Coffee was in the mug. The table was sitting outside our front door in a place that it does not normally live. The night before friends had been over for dinner and we had moved the table to escape the wind. I still hadn’t returned the table to its usual home.
Unlike the evening before, the morning was still, no wind. I’d opened our sliding doors to air the house and just sat at the table with my coffee, looking out on our front garden, the ocean in the distance. The quietness of the scene rested me.
…and it still does as I look at the photograph and remember that morning.

With autumn now officially here, I asked @andycarolan@social.lol to create another seasonal owl for me. This will be the fourth version of the owl that Andy has created. Thank you to Andy for your work. As ever it has been a pleasure working with you.
Here are the four owls that Andy has created for me, with the most recent in the top left. I’ve now placed this new avatar across my online presence.
If you are curious as to ”why the owls”, I have explained that here.

Heading into town this afternoon I passed the cliffs where The Bunker sits. I noticed a change to its face and so pulled over to take a photo.
