I went on my walk yesterday without my Wellingtons. (Who knew I’d need them.) I ended up with soaked shoes and sand to my ankles. It was gorgeous! Thank you to the landscape staff who were there to clean up the ocean’s fury even as it continued to pound onto shore.
For those of you who wanted to know where I bought the incredible orchids at the Kamuela Farmers Market, it was at SHOGUN HAWAII. Owner, Matthias Seelis, is an award winning orchid grower. This cattelya he created is named after Becky Holman.

A hybrid car caught on fire Thursday morning on Ka’upulehu Drive.
Security was quickly on the scene with our fire engine to help put out the fire. Just another ho-hum day.
The pond by Resident’s Beach House is filled with fish and birdlife.
Tis the season for egret congregations and heron fishing expeditions.

It was a terrific Halloween night! Here are a few snapshots that really don’t do justice to the festivities.
Just a quick reminder that the Halloween Party starts at 6:00 tonight. Come for a fun evening and view all the pumpkins carved by Hualalai Club employees. Costumes are not required.
On Monday night, as I was falling asleep, I heard a noise that seemed to fill the air. I got up to see if it was raining, but once on my lanai, I saw the sky was brilliant with millions of stars. It was like being in a planetarium: so many stars, I could barely make out Orion’s Belt. I hadn’t seen a sky like that in years, if ever. Good riddance to the vog!
So no rain. Then what was I hearing? It was the high surf pounding into the shore. Tuesday morning, the waves were still strong. It reminded me of the surf we get during the Mitsubishi.

The sun setting last night was like a fireworks show. The Aloha Friday bunch at Ke’olu couldn’t stop clicking.
It started slowly.
And continued to grow glowier.
Meanwhile to the north, Maui was a picture of pastels. The High Tide Came With the Full Moon:
THE NATURAL RESOURCE TEAM WILL BE HOSTING A TEAM OF TURTLE TAGGING SCIENTISTS AND HPA STUDENTS FOR TURTLE TAGGING.

Until it reached its crescendo.
