Photographs
Happy faces as myself and three good friends finished an 11.2 mile hike across Haleakala crater, at the Halemau’u Trailhead, earlier this year. (Micro.blog October photo challenge, Day 18)
The map on this screen was my compass, and helped me see where we were as I headed back across the Atlantic a couple of weeks ago.
This wheel is not going very far. (Micro.blog October photo challenge, Day 14)

The Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, it was built after his death and completed in 1864. (Micro.blog October photo challenge, Day 10)
An environment that I feel held and safe in. (Micro.blog October photo challenge, Day 9)
Pre-twilight light as the sun sets across The Downs in Bristol. (Micro.blog October photo challenge, Day 8)
This cauliflower came drizzled in a grainy mustard sauce along with lime and cilantro, giving a light spicey taste. Overall, it was delicious. (Micro.blog October photo challenge, Day 7)
There are some beautiful Copper Beach trees on the streets of Bristol. (Micro.blog October photo challenge, Day 6)
This morning’s toy of choice before my grandson headed off to school. (Micro.blog October photo challenge, Day 5)
The view from my seat was anything but sharp as I waited to depart Heathrow on Saturday afternoon. It felt like the heavens were making up for September’s dry weather. (Micro.blog October photo challenge, Day 4)
A scene at Terminal 5, Heathrow yesterday morning. Although there are a lot of people sitting down here, the majority appeared to be walking around shopping or looking for food. (Micro.blog October photo challenge, Day 3)
It’s still dark outside as I get ready for my trip back to Maui. (Micro.blog October photo challenge, Day 2)
A gentle touch. (Micro.blog October photo challenge, Day 1)
There was a beautiful Harvest Moon over Bristol last night, rising as an orange orb in the early evening. The attached photo, taken with my iPhone 7 Plus, in no way does it justice.
A moody sky in Bristol this evening.
Urban commuter route.
How phones used to be…and this one works.
Well I lost that one, but it was fun to play Rummikub with my sister last night, with mum looking on to learn how to play.
Slowly but surely.
Saturday midday.
Just arrived from my favourite coffee shop. Sterling Coffee Roasters use to be our local coffee shop when we lived in Portland.

Searching a cupboard for some honey, I came across this jar of Marmite. Joy! I haven’t had any for a long time. I know what breakfast will include tomorrow.
Sand Blasted on an Evening Walk
Monday, August 2, 2021
The trade winds having being blowing very strong over the last couple of days, and an evening stroll along Baldwin Beach was a real challenge yesterday evening. Sand blasted there and back. Winded on the way back. This guy seemed unperturbed by the weather, dozing soundly on the shoreline. 📍 Baldwin Beach Park, Paia
This morning’s harvest. It had just fallen from the tree.

Raising a tent in the back garden
Wednesday, July 14, 2021
I spent a few hours this morning, under baking hot sun, putting this tent up for my grandson. Now it’s up, the tent’s construction looks quite simple. However, it was heavy and had very poor instructions. I ended up resorting to YouTube for a clearer understanding of the what and how it went together. I have now handed over to grandma to furnish the inside.
