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.

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.
Starting my move from the Amazon/Kindle world to Rakuten/Kobo.

Do Not Disturb! 📖✍🏻
Friday evening sunset from Ho’okipa. A beautiful evening. Warm, the ocean refreshing, and a family member taking guests out for surfing lessons. There was a real end-of-the-week atmosphere there, with everyone having a grandstand view of the setting sun.
Mother and calf - it is not only the humans who enjoy the views around here.
A “Good Morning” rainbow. 🌈
Garden harvest.
Although it has recently re-opened, I have not been in this theatre for at least 18 months. It might be close to two years. What a time we have collectively been through.
Plants and flowers in the garden early this morning. The white flower on the left is a Spanish Dagger, of the Yucca family. The purple flowers on the right are Agapanthus.
Looking up to a sliver of a New Moon with Venus just to the left and up a bit (south west?) of it. You might be able to make them out in the photo?
Approaching the top,
and the view over Hana.
The foothills of Haleakala above the town of Hana.
If you look carefully at this photograph, on the horizon you can see a mountain rising up above the clouds. That is Mauna Kea on the island of Hawai’i. The photo is taken from across the Alenuihaha Channel on Hamoa Beach in Hana, Maui. I don’t often find it this clear.
A future harvest of papayas. 🤞🏻
Today’s status. My grandson’s fifth birthday. I’ll be staying off that due to a painful lower back.
Starting a new one, Underland, though I have yet to read the book.
Walking in the local neighborhood.
I saw this nest while out at Waihe’e Coastal Dunes and Wetlands, yesterday evening. The nest was only about knee high in a bush. With no dogs allowed in the park and few visitors, I assume that the birds must feel safe and have no or few predators?
This afternoon at Ho’okipa. The island of Molokai is in the distance.
Entertaining tonight
I went out for a bicycle ride late morning.
The path took me past the airport,
and Kanaha Beach Park, busy with Wind & Kite surfers.
The light feels so clear today.
Mother’s Day morning on the South side.
At my grandson’s school as the children danced round the Maypole this morning.
