Purple Haze



These orchids are for sale at Long's drugstore in South Maui. To purchase orchids at a cheaper price, try farmer's markets or Maui orchid farms.

Change of Season

Maui doesn't have gorgeous fall foliage or dramatic change of seasons which you will find in other parts of the world. Our seasons slide into one another with grace. However, many transplants to Maui decorate as IF the seasons change and put up seasonal decorations.

The best season for Maui is the November-May time period. Yes, the ocean water is a bit chillier, but still quite swim-able..the nights are cooler, and there is very little need for air conditioning.

Through The Looking Glass

The photo above is mysterious to me, and I don't like every little detail, but all in all, it has qualities which intrigue me.

The art inside the gallery is a photograph of a canyon, and one can also see a reflection of a window from across the street in Lahaina.

Election Day and Post Number 666!


Since today is a BIG day for voting in the USA, I decided to conduct my own vote on this, my 666th post!

Shown here are two couples I photographed on Halloween night, 2008, in Lahaina.

Which one of these couples is the SCARIEST?

Another Lahaina Halloween Photo

This guy was happy to pose for me. Because of the new law requiring people to only walk on the sidewalks (and not on the streets as in years past), it was much harder trying to get good shots of others in their costumes. Most Maui people aren't happy at all with this new law, and least of all are the Lahaina merchants who lost lots of money!

Tomorrow will be my 666th post on Wailea Daily Photo, and so I'll post my scariest photo of Halloween night for this post. :Smile:

November Theme--Books

Pidgin is considered Hawaiian English. Its origin is from the plantation workers who came to Hawaii in the 19th century. Pidgin has Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese and other influences.

I don't personally speak it, but I understand some of it--and I really like to hear it spoken!

Please take the time to see *wussup* with the other city bloggers around the world.

From The Vault--Halloween Past

This week we'll be dressed in our new Halloween costumes and attending parties as well as joining in the fun on Front Street in Lahaina (Maui) where the streets are cordoned off for all but foot traffic and revelers.

As always, I'll be taking lots of photos and will be posting the best ones!

Posting Halloween photos on this blog is a tradition for me since 2006 when I began posting on this blog. :Smile:
