March Theme (Wo)Men at Work

I submitted a question to the forum if women counted in this theme for March, "Men At Work". However, I wasn't able to find a reply, so I am advised by my partner to "live dangerously" and submit my 'women at work'. I happen to love this photo of a woman working with the yellow tape as she blocks off a parking lot for an event.

Dolphin Mobile Home

Around our property I have hung many wind chimes and rustic mobiles such as this one made from clay and driftwood. The clay dolphins have hollowed out interiors, and wasps have made a cozy home within them. When the winds blow (as they do frequently), the sounds from our various wind chimes, bells, and mobiles create a beautiful symphony.

Time To Chill

In upcountry Maui (on the way to the Haleakala crater) the weather is cooler, and you can often find a wonderful fire at the Kula Lodge hearth. A couch and chairs face this rustic hearth, and the vibe is cozy and welcoming. This lodge has been here for many years, and it also has a wonderful art gallery and restaurant with amazing views. The nearby Kula Marketplace opened this past year which sells food, drink and gifts.

Jungle Enchantment

We love to get out and explore the many wonderful hiking trails of Maui. And being the kind of person who revels in the beauty of Nature combined with being snap-happy, I return with lots of Nature photos. Some of these places feel enchanted like this one.

Rainbow's End

In answer to your question, Kate, Ram Dass is one of the great spiritual teachers of our age. His books "Be Here Now" and "The Only Dance There Is" were instrumental in my spiritual growth, and dare I say, for hundreds of thousands as well. After his stroke, he moved to Maui. You can read more about his work and his organization here: Ram Dass and here on Wikipedia.

Here is a photo I took on the same day I took his photo. We were driving up the Haleakala Highway to Kula with a rainbow sometimes directly ahead, sometimes to the side of us as we circled up the mountain. Depending upon the light and the angle, this rainbow would dim or brighten.

The Fame Name Game



I photographed this beautiful soul yesterday. Can any of you name this famous person?

Another Awesome Sunset

Last evening we dined at a restaurant which faces the water. We had the booth next to the window, so it was super easy for me to capture some great sunset photos. I like this one especially because of the arc of light.

Now for some shameless self promotion: One of my other blogs: Way Khool Sites is featured as the Blog of the Day on Fuel My Blogs.

I could use a little click-love for my worthy blog Way Khool Sites, which Pays It Forward by highlighting other worthy blogs and sites. Mahalo Nui Loa ahead of time!

Last Light on Palm



This photo was taken yesterday (Whale Day on Maui). The sunset was absolutely gorgeous, and I like the way this palm tree contrasted with the sunset.

Entering Into Mamas



This is the charming entrance to the famous North shore Maui restaurant, Mama's Fish House. The food is divine, the ambience and view are amazing, and the bill for your pleasure, errr...expensive. But worth it!

Botero Sculpture



This is one of many large, beautiful Botero sculptures inside the Grand Wailea Resort in Wailea. I'm a huge fan of Botero's work--it's very sensual. Botero is a Columbian artist and sculptor, and his work is displayed worldwide.

Maui Mysteries

As my partner and I were making a shortcut the other day on a side street, we passed by this culvert and drainage ditch. I begged him to stop so I could take this photo. I know it's not the most gorgeous photo I've ever posted here, but there is a story to go with it!

Most of the Hawaiian Islands are riddled with underground lava tubes--many of which go straight into the ocean. Some of the lava tubes you can actually walk through. A group of us walked through one at the bottom of Haleakala Crater. In any event, rumor has it there are supposed to be lots of interconnecting underground tubes and entrances. Could this be one? I'm too much of a baby to investigate, but I'm still curious!

Spots and Stripes



I like the way the shadows fall in this photo of my cat Anela. She was adopted by our family as a baby, and her markings look similar to many other 'local' cats. Maui is over-run with feral cats, and these feral cats are very controversial with different methods, organizations, and ideas of how to control the wild cat population.

Papaya Heart



This is a vintage photo from my stash. My partner opened a papaya for breakfast, and we discovered a perfect shaped heart!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
