One recent early morning, I spent a while watching A’ama Crabs on the rocks at Spencer Beach Park. This one held its position as the waves washed over it and then receded ….
…. Time after time.
It’s in there

Tree down
Since the big windstorm of a few weeks ago, I’ve seen a number of Kiawe trees looking like this, on their sides with a disc of roots and dirt exposed. They’ll get cut up and probably used for smoke meat, but it will take a while to clear all of them. This one was below the trail at Pu’ukohola Heiau National Historic Site in Kawaihae.
Cows on the coast
There are four reasons why I took this photo and why I like it. The ears!
Tug and barge at sunrise
A tug and barge enter Kawaihae Harbor around sunrise.
A hint of a moon
As the sun dipped toward the horizon, this sliver of a moon shone against the blushing clouds.
Abstracts: Light through the trees
Late afternoon sun peeks through a tangle of trees.
Relax and sit a while
Looks very inviting, doesn’t it? A covered lanai in the late afternoon sun with a comfy, rattan sofa to relax on. The lanai above this is even more inviting, with a view toward Maui, currently blocked by trees.
But this is my neighbor’s old house, currently unoccupied and falling further into disrepair, with broken windows and a floor collapsing. I’d be leery of sitting on this sofa for fear of what’s living in it or that it might collapse. There’s also a chance that the hot tub on the upper lanai, could end up dropping on your head.
So perhaps, like many things these days, this is an invitation best experienced virtually.
Cattle Egret on a snag
Cattle Egrets are usually seen flying or on the ground, in the company of cattle, horses, goats, and lawnmowers, as they forage for food. I saw this one perched on an old snag, and it remained there for some time, looking this way and that, before taking to the air and disappearing.
