Moloka’i, Hawai’i: sunsets seem to be a bit brighter.

Moloka’i. Looking from Maui. Sunset. Alohahhhh. 

Hawai’i nei.

Maui, just 30 miles away.

Some view, huh?

Somewhere in Hawai’i, it’s warm, sunny and summer-like. Me too.

Moloka’i: what lava enjoys daily.

Moloka’i: follow the road to the Pacific.

From the lanai of our condo the grass is green, the Pacific is blue and the breezes – oh, those are warm too.

In my dreams this is what I saw.

Ames makes the camera smile (me too).

I like holding my wife’s hand. It’s really soft and she usually smiles too.

Look from Moloka’i to Maui. Imagine, it’s just 30 miles away.

Hike to La’au Point. Six miles round trip from Dixie Maru Beach. Whew.

The day began with a serious hike. Not a typical out and back day hike. No, I’m talking about a full-on hike to La’au Point – in the mud, through the woods and we didn’t stop at grandmother’s house for cookies and a nap. The trip to La’au Point is tough — add in soggy

A dreamy sunset, a clear beach, Pacific waves – beside my wife. Dreams do come true.

Fruity drinks seem fruitier in Mason jars.

Hawaii allows you to set a path, find one or follow one. Get busy moving because small moments make life.

Summer is still sizzling in the middle of the Pacific. Fact is, the temperature stays fairly constant most of the year. Yet another reason to live aloha.

Bottles without the pitbull: only on Moloka’i

During my previous visit I ventured – on foot – near this wall and was met by two pitbulls who seemed friendly enough. HA! This time I got the shot. I snapped this image from the vehicle while driving. I call this a ‘drive by shooting.’ In any case, the home is at the back

A Moloka’i moment just to remind all of us that life isn’t “all about work.”

Old Hawai’i: Kalaupapa and it looks like Father Damien to the left.

Flowers convey sun-warm-shine. Puts a smile on your face, huh?

Don’t change Moloka’i, let it change you.

There is something very unique about the island of Moloka’i. Very unique. It’s people and the way of life respect one another in manner that cannot be described – it must be experienced. I’m not suggesting that every neighbor gets along 100% of the time, but I am suggesting that the community is driven to

It’s warm somewhere. Isn’t it?

From Moloka’i to Maui with lots of Pacific blue in between (click).

A path of freedom, a path to sites unseen. When it’s red in color it’s easy to follow.

Big orange lava crush. Yes, those are really orange.

Green, green, green. Go green!

A different kind of plumeria day.
