Happy Aloha Friday!!!! It's early August and school has started here on Molokai. I'll have to check if I'll be able to see the Packer game on Saturday.

This week's picture takes us to the West side of Kauai to Hanapepe town. The Bakery started in Hanapepe in 2012. The artisan breads were sold at Farmers markets and stores around the island. The retail Bakery opened in 2015 and featured the artisan breads and Sandwiches Panini's and Pizza. It's definitely worth the stop when you are on that side of the island checking out the Swinging Bridge or Art Night in Hanapepe.

Enjoy and have an Awesome Aloha Friday and a Great Weekend!!!

Happy Aloha Friday!

It's been one year since the Maui fires, and it got me thinking about our first trip to Hawaii in 1979. We stayed at the Royal Lahaina Resort. We were hooked! Next winter will be our 34th trip to the islands. Here's a picture I took on our first trip.

In some good news from Maui, they're making progress finding housing for the many people displaced by the fire.

Transitional housing for fire survivors is proliferating a year after disaster hit in Lahaina - The Garden Island

It’s only a trickle at the moment, but the supply of new homes for transitional use by Maui wildfire survivors is on the cusp of surging one year after the disaster.

Happy Aloha Friday. While sitting next to the river and looking at the cliffs I was watching a tree shadow that resembled the shape of a veiled person. While taking a picture, I notice what looked like a tree stump or rock on top of the cliff over the shawdow so I zoomed in. There is a veiled person statue on top of this cliff watching me watch it.

Happy Aloha Friday!!! Still some summer left so I hope everyone can get out and enjoy it while you can. This summer has been great since it hasn't been too hot and the trades have been awesome.

This week's picture takes us back to Maui and to the Maui Schooner in Kihei. This kite surfer came up on the beach after he finished his session. The beach in front of Maui Schooner is a great place to watch the kite surfer's practice. It's amazing how fast and how high they get on those things.

Enjoy and have an Awesome Aloha Friday and a Great Weekend!!

Hilton's Ka'anapali Beach Club is also a popular place for kite surfing. They like it because they can use the strong rip current to get an express ride out past the reef. From 2014:

Happy Aloha Friday!!! We have a developing Cyclone going by the islands this weekend so we went shopping and plan to stick around home this weekend.

This week's picture takes us back to Kauai to Hanalei and Ching Young Village. In 1906 Ching Young leased some land in Hanalei from the Wilcox Family and started a small merchandise store and a Rice Mill. That stayed in the family for decades and in 1982 the Ching Young Shopping Village was born. 40% of the Shopping village was destroyed during Hurricane Iniki. Two years later the shopping center was rebuilt. It's always worth a stop when you make a trip to Kauai.

Enjoy and have an Awesome Aloha Friday and a Great Weekend!!!!

Happy Aloha Friday from Coastal Virginia; feel liked an early fall day this morning. The current temperature is 55 degrees.

I took a picture of the seasonal blue super moon this week. It was a little hazy, but it was still so bright that I didn't need a tripod. There won't be another one until January 2037.

Happy Aloha Friday. We were in the Canadian Rockies and did a lot of hiking and other activities. It is truly a beautiful area. Here are a couple of pics.

Happy Aloha Friday. Here are a couple pics of the Ko'olau Range on the windward side. Crazy how the reflections based on the weather make it look like a completely different color.

@slip looks like we'll have to deal with 3 weather systems in the next week. Hope all is well.

Happy Aloha Friday! Rod and I are on our way to a Yellowstone timeshare stay. We’re currently on a layover at SLC. Will post a trip report. We had a 6 am flight and had to get up at up at 3:30 am, which just about killed me!

I never liked early departures and getting up that early. Probably we haven't done them in quite a while.

Beautiful shots!! I always loved looking at the Ko'olau Mountains. It is definitely different every time with the way the sun hits them. They are even beautiful in the clouds.

Yes, be safe over there. Hopefully everything passes way south of us. No plans for is over the next few days just to be sure.

Is that the Lake Louise area? I got my friends a timeshare up there for a week a few years ago and they just asked about getting another for a return trip. Beautiful photos.

Nice shot. I haven't been able to take get the telescope out for months because of all the clouds at night. I went out to see the moon over the last couple nights but only saw the glow from behind the thick clouds.
