Waimea Valley, 9/16/18

The next 5 photos are part of the Cannonball tree.

Nature is so interesting...

Today was Ohana (family) Sunday- being a Kama'aina and being older than 62 "Senior"- entry fee was $4.00, I saved $4.00.  Regular cost for Kama'aina is $12.00 and Senior is $8.00. Basically 1/2 off.

Sunrise from Makapu'u and Koko Crater Botanical Garden, 9/9/18

Did I say sunrise? The first photo was at 6:21 a.m.

I am super lame with using a tripod. I rested my camera held tightly resting my elbows on my knees while sitting down. I am happy that I got a ball of sun which I was working for - usually my sunrises are blown out.

 This sand crab was well aware I was there.

We left around 7:10 to get breakfast and then off to Koko Crater Botanical.

Got lunch? Off we go.

Hoomaluhia, 9/2/18

It was fun to go out and photograph. However, we had to stay close to the top because it started to rain.

 Playing with rain drops

Again, joking is fun during these outings.
