Sunday South Maui Sunset

by Peter on January 31, 2010

On my way home from the store, I noticed the clouds near the horizon starting to glow a faint red, so I thought it might be worthwhile taking the gear to the beach in case they popped. They didn’t, but it was a nice sunset anyway; the first we’ve had in a while because of the vog and rain.

Good way to close a Sunday. Everyone have a great aloha week.

Morning dew.

TikiTales (Judi Riley), Kihei, Maui, Hawaii.

It’s always fun meeting a Twitter friend IRL (In Real Life). About a week ago, I met Children’s book author Judi Riley at a book signing after we’d been tweeting for several months. She mentioned that she’s been hounded about getting an author photo for a while, but hasn’t been able to get to it. [...]

Thanksgiving Sunset

November 29, 2009
Sunset, Kihei, Maui, Hawaii.
