It’s funny the memories that continuously bob to the mind’s surface, and this day had a particularly eclectic collection of imagery for me. A red headed bird I was too slow to photograph, an Amish family climbing the Diamond Head calling out Aloha to everyone they passed (the incongruous juxtaposition of this touristy place and their lifestyle made for merry conjecture back at the Airbnb, are they even allowed to fly?), the camaraderie of claustrophobes entering the tunnel, children swinging in aerial roots and a elderly woman’s delight on seeing our icecreams when we got back down to the beach (apparently it was a brand from back home). Of course the view was spectacular, but that old lady just sticks in my mind, so strange.
As we walked along the beach, killing time until we picked up the hire car (yes we caved, another 2 hour journey by bus at 7am was just too much, soft I know) it began to rain and the beach cleared, a lei floated in the suddenly empty water below. Suddenly a Honolulu beach to ourselves, we had our first swim, perfect.

Among the many things I love about visiting your blog is the way the images so often seem to draw from big to little. You get both the expanses and the minute views. Something quite lovely about that movement. Thanks 🙂
Thanks so much for such a lovely comment deepa, I love capturing details, textures and light, so wonderful that you notice!
What lovely photos! It looks absolutely beautiful there. I’ve never been, but I’d love to visit someday. Actually right now would be the perfect time! It’s cold and snowy here today.
So far have only encountered snow and ice on the ground, would love to see it fall, but everywhere I go seems to be unseasonably warm! Can’t complain I guess. 😉
It looks a really nice place to run!
