It’s the end of the month so here’s a sunset to send it on its way.
The sun sets on July

Bubbling up
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!
Wandering Tattler
This Wandering Tattler struck an obliging pose on a rock on one of my early morning walks near Kawaihae.
Surf’s down
This looks like a deserted beach scene, but a closer look at the water shows quite a few surfers waiting for a wave. However, this was not one of those days when that wait was rewarded. The surf was down and the waves small. Still, Kohanaiki Beach Park is a great spot to linger, waves or not.
Rainbow from the water
A band of cloud, some calm water, and a rainbow to set it all off.
Tug and pigeons
A couple of days ago, on my way to work, the early morning sky had an interesting look to it. Then I saw a tug and barge heading toward Kawaihae Harbor, so I decided to pull over and park (right next to a No Parking sign!). I walked a few paces to get a more open shot of the scene and, in doing so, disturbed a flock of pigeons roosting in a nearby tree. They took to the air and swooped around for a while before dispersing.
SSV Robert C. Seamans at anchor
This rather splendid sailing vessel was anchored recently, for a few days, in front of Mauna Kea Resort. It’s the Robert C. Seamans, a 134-foot steel-hulled brigantine that, despite its classic appearance, was built in 2001. The vessel is a Sailing School Vessel (SSV) operated by the Sea Education Association, which conducts sail training and research.

A view along the coast
The North Kohala coast is quite rugged and exposed to strong trade winds and weather systems. This was a relatively calm day, but still capable of churning up white water along the shore.
