From the Scenic Point on the Pali town bound before the tunnel. Worth it to pull over for a minute and see this before heading to work!

Bingo! This is THE shot I wanted to share for the mission! Full rainbow over Waimea Bay in May 2013, Kaʻena Point in view. It was a very lucky moment!
We take the dogs to walk on Kahala Beach several times a week. We like to go late in the day when most people are gone or leaving. It always amazes us when this gorgeous beach is so quiet, especially so close to town and to our house. We've been coming here for years — actually with two other dogs who have since passed so we have a lot of memories of walking here. I love when there are just a couple of fishermen out or couples watching the sunset. They are always amused by our dogs who go racing down the beach together then charge into the water. The sunsets are glorious and perfectly framed by the trees and I love how the colors gradually go from blue to lavender to pink to yellow. Stunning!
There was no one out in the water. My son was excited to get some practice in before his heat.
It’s never too late to do a hike for the first time. Amazing views!
We get stunning rainbows because of the frequent rains and sunshine at the same time. Especially during the winter months.
Not all sunrises involve flaming skies. Clouds lit by the sun and rain falling from below another Paukaʻa sunrise.
Starting the day with my daughter. The weather was cloudy and windy, but we decided to go for a swim regardless of the weather. We were rewarded with this memorable sunrise.
