We were alongside the fairway on the 7th hole at the Waialae Golf Course and the early morning light was particulary striking!

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 heron in flight
As we walked along the edge of the Waialae Golf Course not long after dawn this morning, we spotted a heron fishing just off shore. Then a second flew in to check out the area. It soon flew off, and I managed to get this photo as it exited.
I was able to enlarge and sharpen it, and thought it worth sharing. It’s sharp enough that you can see its eye glowing in the sun. Click on the photo to see a larger version.
Black-crowned Night Herons are native to Hawaii. They are also known as “auku’u” in the Hawaiian language. While the species is widespread globally, including in North America, the specific Hawaiian subspecies (Nycticorax nycticorax hoactli) is native to the islands.
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.
