Molokai
An exquisite sunset after a rainy, windy day.
The colors of Molokai take my breath away.

Eucalyptus forest
Molokai Forest Reserve
Molokai Forest Reserve
We spent the day with Molokai friend and fellow photographer, Rikki Cooke, in the Molokai Forest Reserve. Molokai had been described as an island with a "split personality"--one is arid and the other is verdant. Today we were in the interior and we experienced a little bit of everything--sun, mist, pelting rain, howling gales, rainbows, lush green forests and a breath-taking view from Kamakou Overlook.
The dirt road was challenging. We didn't get stuck but we came real close!!! I think the Roamer could have made it to the overlook.

"This is golf...Molokai-Style!"

Kualapu'u Market
What do you do with this???
A trip to the market, a sunset walk on a lovely plantation-style golf course...the pace and simplicity of life on Molokai is sublime.

Fine dining on Molokai
The pune'e on the lanai.
Today was a rainy, blustery day (50 mph winds). It was so nice to have a day to catch up on sleep, paperwork and phone calls and to take a lovely, leisurely walk in the drizzle.
Our good friends Dewitt Jones and Lynette Sheppard have generously given us the run of their guest house while we're here. We feel right at home!

Honolulu, Hawaii--Los Angeles on an island
Hotel room with a "partial ocean view." If you hang way over the balcony and squint, you might be able to make out the water.
Honolulu, Hawaii
Arrived in Honolulu too late to catch the last flight to Molokai so we had to spend the night. Flew to Molokai this afternoon...about a 10 minute flight. Molokai is the antithesis of Oahu--no buildings taller than a coconut tree, no traffic, therefore no traffic lights, no malls, minimal tourism...it's like stepping back in time. It's wonderful.

Separation Anxiety
Kensington, Maryland
Kensington, Maryland
Heading for Dulles Airport. It's tough leaving "Rudy" behind but he'll be well cared for while we're gone by our friends Alyson and Peter Krogh.
Aloha everyone. We'll be in touch from Molokai.
