Early morning view from Kamaole #1, looking at the windmills that dot the hills on the way to Lahaina.
The trade winds are back! And with them, a distinct increase in the comfort level. We had a great beach walk this morning followed by coffee at our favorite spot where we sat outside and watched the world go by and tried to ignore the flirty behavior of little birds that were doing their best to con us out of a crumb.
It's a laid-back afternoon, having spent most of the morning contributing to the local economy. It's so peaceful here that it's hard to get riled up even when you return and find someone else parked in your spot. OK, that's not exactly true and we left a snooty note prominently displayed on their windshield. I mean really, we had to walk all the way across the lot carrying a 24-pack of Charmin. You thought I was going to say beer, didn't you?
I have to share some amazing shots that I took yesterday at my brother's orchid sanctuary, tucked behind a banana tree at the entrance to the pool. Noticing that a heck of a lot of orchids were being turfed out as the vacationers returned to colder climes, Dave built three wooden stands and lovingly replanted the orphans that he rescued. And they are so beautiful, expressing their gratitude in the loveliest way.
I'm so glad that he thought to save these little treasures for us all to enjoy. Thanks, brother!

Those are beauties! Yeah, Dave! Looks like a wonderfull holiday, all around. I'd forgotten exactly when you were going to be there but, coincidently, I was just thinking about you guys and Hawaii a couple of days ago when I came across The Decendants playing on TV.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy and have a sip of something on the lanai for me.
