Flowers and Things

Dear Members, Please excuse the lack of posts recently–your intrepid editor got stung by some super strong tropical insect and hasn’t had the use of her thumb (or really her brain) for several days. I’ve wanted to share the beautiful flower arrangements for Thanksgiving that I ordered via the Club, and the interesting shots Bill […]

Tropical Growth

The trees were severely cut back at the end of April. Now look at them!

A Nene Says, “No, no!”

Paradise in Bloom

It’s that time of year when all the trees are in bloom! In April, the treecutters were here, cutting the trees down to the quick. But never mind. It’s the tropics–the growth spurts are amazing.

A New Perspective

One of the benefits of slowing down and staying put is the opportunity to look at what’s around us and actually see it. Foliage abounds at my feet, but I rarely stop to appreciate it.

July sunsets are so stunning. Resident’s Beach House is the perfect viewing venue.

Tropical Storm Hits at Sunset

The air all day at Hualalai had been thick with humidity. It was hot and sticky until the afternoon, when the breezes picked up. Then the rains came, an unexpected deluge. It created an eery sunset. It’s these kinds of weather events that make the tropics and Hualalai special, but they can play havoc with […]

Spring Has Sprung

Going on a Staycation!

Your editor is going on a staycation and will hopefully not have computer access! I’m going to be free as a bird! See you in a week!

Double Exposure

Yesterday morning when I passed the Canoe Club, I noticed a photo shoot in session.

 

Last evening at the Resident’s Beach House, the crew was enjoying dinner!

Record Wind, Rain and Surf Bruise The Big Island

Personally, I’m glad to be at Hualalai instead of in the bad weather on the mainland so I feel I can’t complain. (The snow pictures sure do look pretty though.) But the wind is getting on my nerves. Not to mention that after my morning walk I feel like I just had microdermabrasion. One good […]

A Morning In the Life at Hualalai

 

Just Another Morning At Hualalai

sun rising, surf pounding, waves crashing, whales birthing, dolphins spinning, smoothie drinking, people watching, clouds puffing, boats rushing, whales breaching, yogis OMing, waitstaff serving, coffee drinking, golfers swinging, people walking, tennis players hitting, waves mesmerizing, old friends greeting, birds chirping, leaves rustling, swimmers swimming, berm rebuilding, bananas ripening

Doggonit: You Just Can’t Beat Hualalai!

Hualalai is such a hot spot that even the dogs are on the lookout for a property.

Hau’oli Makahiki Hou 2019

Festive is all energy and action around Hualalai. Families gather in homes and at the hotel, making memories that will last a lifetime. The ocean’s ebb and flow beats a steady rhythm in the background as we go about our lives (trying to find a beach chair, for instance.) In this joyous and frenetic […]
