Yesterday’s trip to the Green Waste dump here on Maui was like visiting a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie set.
The trade winds were blowing strong and a machine was turning over the pile of composting waste, sending debris blowing everywhere. As I got out of the truck, waste blew into the truck before I could get the door closed. It blew into my face and under my sun glasses as I tried to get my green waste out of the back of the truck. I sort of adopted a sideways stance to counter what was blowing so violently through the air.
Opening the truck door again blew more waste in. I put the air conditioning full on to clear the air as I drove away.
I scraped this mud wasp nest off the floor, under a chair while moving furniture over the weekend. It had long since been vacated, but still was well and truly stuck to the floor.
Looking over a wall from Kihei in South Maui towards the West Maui Mountains as Kona storm crept in on Thursday of this last week. There was thunder,lightning and heavy rain.
I’ve just added to new page to my website, Rainbows.
Given that I post so many photos of rainbows on this site, I decided to collect them all together using Micro.blog’s Photo Collections feature. As of today there are 89 photographs of rainbows here. The page will update as I add more…as I’m sure that I will!
We were blessed with three rainbows this morning (or maybe they were manifestations of the same one?), shown below in the order in which they appeared. 🌈
The weather had been hazy today, maybe VOG, though if so the wind kept it at bay. The day got increasingly cloudy and by sunset the sky turned a multitude of colours. Here are a few of the patterns that appeared.
A (Praying) Mantis in the grass. I was pleased to see this one. It had been lying on some concrete 24 hours earlier looking none to happy. I had moved it to the earth beneath the grass. Assuming that it was the same one, it must be feeling better to have had some strength to climb up the grass.
While I was out of action this last week because of a migraine, a few rainbows appeared in the sky which I have not posted here. When my health and tolerance of light due to the migraine allowed me outside, I grabbed shots of some of those rainbows - one (maybe two?) a double. I’m sharing them here. 🌈
