Morning reflections

Here’s another photo worth sharing, taken earlier this morning.

I took a photo of the coconut trees in Waialae Beach Park reflected in the water of Waialae Stream.

Then I flipped it upside down, so that the trees now appeared as if you were looking directly across the stream at them.

The stream shimmers a bit in places, giving the trees a mysterious aura.

Anyway, it shakes up the perceptions.

A morning walk in our yard

I was just drinking my coffee this morning when I noticed that the cloudy, wet weather was creating wonderful rich light that accentuated the colors in the yard.

So I grabbed a camera and headed outside!

I think it was worth it.

Just click below to browse the photos.

Around the yard....

The view from there

It was a few minutes after takeoff from Honolulu’s main airport, and suddenly there was this fine view of the islands to the east of Oahu.

Here are the islands in this lineup.

Closest to the camera is Molokai, with its mountainous east end in clouds. Behind Molokai are the West Maui Mountains, and behind them is Haleakala. Next are the Big Island peaks in the distance, Mauna Kea and, to the right and only partially visible, Mauna Loa.

I took this with my iPhone 15 Pro, held in one hand and reaching across Meda to the window, as I attempted to aim in the right direction.

Do you suppose airline pilots ever get tired of this view?
