| Photography has always been a hobby of mine.
Recently, I have become enamored of the flowers on Maui. I shot the
below in our facility, Kihei Bay Surf, one on a rainy
afternoon. The tropical foliage on the island is stunning, but as
the sunlight on Hawaii tends to be on full blast from the moment it
peaks over Haleakala Crater until it dips below the Pacific Ocean's
horizon, I find cloudy, rainy days offer the most opportunity.
I also photographed the facilities' sign, decorated with
Christmas lights.

| One afternoon in November, as usual, we walked across
the street to survey the wind situation. One of our favorite places
to take in the view and wind of Maalaea Bay Harbor is the whale
sanctuary. John made himself at home on one of their cute, blue
benches. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a giant spout of water.
"Holy Smoke Batman!" Whales! What better place to
whale watch than the whale sanctuary. How convenient that there were
two of us and two giant, standing binoculars for the public to use.
The whales were shockingly within a hundred yards of shore. We soon
had company. Two women joined the fray, with their own binoculars in
hand. Shew! One woman said she had been following their progress
around the bay. Right behind the whales was a whale watching tour
boat.
I have two images below of the Sanctuary. |

Pier I passed this statue and some rowers from the Maui Canoe Club. |
| A beautiful afternoon to early evening to kiteboard,
windsurf or rest in front of Maui Sunset. |
We decided to walk east from Maui Sunset along the beach. I took these
photos as we went.

You can see the windmills in the background of the right photo. |
