If one continues up the road from Waimea Canyon overview they will encounter the dramatically different view. These images are taken from Pu’u O Kila Lookout. We visited twice during the day.

Tree silhouettes are fabulous during the winter months especially at sunrise or sunset. This morning was particularly stunning. All the black lines of varying thickness overlapping & crisscrossing. What do they remind me of? Maybe they are neurons in the brain or webs created by some creature. Maybe it’s something in the lungs or veins/arteriesContinue reading “Sunrise January 7, 2010”
Plumeria Bloom
Here are the final opening shots of the Plumeria over one day.
Plumeria: Almost Ready!
Ok Shannon! It’s almost here! I’m looking forward to the scent. Memories of Maui will drift over us… 🙂
Plumeria
This one is for Shannon. It’s almost ready to bloom! Extra sunlight helps during summer months. Hopefully it won’t come down with the dreaded spider mites. Every year when they return indoors the mites attack. I better look for my insecticidal soap. This particular plant is over 14 yrs old and the best bloomer. ItContinue reading “Plumeria”
