Recently, I was taking photos at Pelekane Beach in Kawaihae. It was a quiet morning with small wavelets running up on the beach. But, while the waves were little, the turbulence produced some great bubbles. Check out the one in the center of the photo!

There are always people fishing from this little jetty in Kawaihae Harbor, when I go by there in the early morning. I don’t know how the fishing is, but they must catch something, or perhaps they just enjoy the peaceful scene as much as I do.

This Wandering Tattler struck an obliging pose on a rock on one of my early morning walks near Kawaihae.

Looking like a giant eyeball, I saw this ball valve on some equipment in Kawaihae Harbor.

There was some sort of marine object, a buoy possibly, hauled out on the beach in Kawaihae Harbor. I couldn’t really get a decent photo of the object, but I liked the look of this wire fencing material that was associated with the project.

In the early morning, on the waters off Kawaihae, some outrigger canoe paddlers train for a future race while cattle egrets head in the opposite direction to find their cattle.

A small boat leaves Kawaihae Small Boat Harbor early in the morning. It was likely headed out on a fishing expedition. I don’t know how they fared, but it was a fine start to the day regardless.
