Went to watch sunset on this national holiday and got an amazing array of color!  Some clouds and the sun rising behind Haleakala provided this explosing of color.   A walk out to the beach finds dunes, grass and sprawling ground cover plants. Some have bright flowers at times adding nice color to the already stunning views. Plants like these pohuehue with their pretty purple flowers actually protect the sand and land from blowing or eroding way.  It’s nap time for these turtles. This rocky shore is a popular resting place for them and this day about 14 months back was the most We’ve seen. We counted 15 including the one near the vegetation. Some were bunched up and sleeping on each other. Definitelyf a treat to see so many and look back through photos on the phone that remind us of the special moment.   One of the cool things about Maui is how easy it is to access beaches and the ocean. For people that just landed or are running errands in Kahului Kanaha Beach Park is a peaceful retreat to stunning ocean views. You can walk through the pines or down the beach, watch Kitesurfers and Windsurfers or take a dip in the rejuvenating Maui waters. This beautiful park sits just to the north of the Kahului Airport and there is a road out of the airport to it!   A Lahaina Noon is whe the sun is straight overhead which causes objects to cast no shadow. This is in the regular sense where a shadow is off to a side of objects. For things that have a larger top it creates a perfect outline shadow. We used a cup and it was fascinating how the shadow was a perfect circle below the rim on concrete.   Haleakala was formed as a volcano. Today the clouds and early morning sun made a lava like effect.  Always interesting to see what the morning will bring by Haleakala. The various winds, moisture and temperatures create interesting effects on the clouds.  Looking at mauka it was all clouds hiding Haleakala. Turning makai gave a view of some sun yellowed clouds and palms. High above was just enough of a hole for the sun to squeeze through and make a beautiful morning display.  |
