An Extra!

Sunday, February 25, 2018

Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, between Kihei and Ma’alaea, on /\/\aui! This is a coastal salt marsh the highway cuts through.  It often has a variety of birds, and we went on down this evening. This is a Black-Crowned Night-Heron. The light was fading fast as the sun set, and it was cloudy and raining […]

Day 052

Whale watching at sunrise… Inside of the boat.  A four phot panorama. Click a couple of times to enlarge; BACK to return!   Along the rail: DD#2 and the Dailylife Wife. Look!  A couple of whales! No, a bunch…five?  Six?  It is a “competition pod”. That is where a bunch of males show off for […]

Day 051

Friday, February 23, 2018

A lazy day in Lahaina.  It’s an Indian…wait…a reworked Harley…no, a Kawasaki Drifter!   License plate art.  Not many /\/\onTana plates in there.   Lahaina Pizza Company.  Still good after three years! Sweet! So sweet I had to chase it down for Lugnut!  Note the open windshield… ~Curtis on /\/\aui! {!-{>

Day 050: Whales, at a distance…

Friday, February 23, 2018

We saw lots of Whales on our beach excursion, but they were all near the horizon and a ling ways away.  All 100% crops from the center of the frame!  Click a couple of times to enlarge; BACK to return! A big splash from the fin…coming up?  A flipper flop. A complete flipper flop! Two! […]

Day 050

Monday, February 19, 2018

Three views of a rock at the beach. I did the water on a time exposure.  I didn’t bring my Neutral Density filter to the beach with me, so these are not too long. 1/8s f/45.0 ISO100 300mm for the first one,  1/15s f/45.0 ISO100 300mm for this one, and 1/15s f/45.0 ISO100 300mm for […]

Day 049

Monday, February 19, 2018

Not a lot happening today.  It was rainy, and we had to drive to the airport to pickup the Dailylife Daughter #2. A rare self-portrait! We stopped at the Maui Tropical Plantation (I think that is the name…).  It has a tram trip through the gardens, and an excellent gift shop! Timing was wrong for […]

The Last of Day 048!!!

Saturday, February 17, 2018

There was a lot of whale activity today.  This evening we saw eight or nine breeches in the sunset…too far away for good photos, but big enough we could still see them! These are from earlier today.  The first one shows just how far away the whales are from our lanai!  And this is a […]
