More Maui

One of my favorite Maui beaches - Ho'okipa Beach Park.  Surfers in the morning, windsurfers and kite surfers in the afternoon.  This is reputed to be one of the best windsurfing spots in the world.  I don't know about that but it is great fun to watch these talented individuals.

My second favorite beach is Bonzia/Pipeline on the Norshore of Oahu in the winter months.  The surf can be so large that you can feel it in the sand at your feet when the waves crash. 

Looking into the crater at Haleakala.  We have hiked part of the Sliding Sands trail in the past.  Living at sea level we were sucking wind at 10,000 feet.  A bit chilly too.  The colors are absolutely stunning earlier in the morning.

Close up of the Silversword, which is unique to the upper elevations of Haleakala.  It grows only here and under extreme conditions.  It is a gorgeous plant in person.



And another awesome sunset.

What a great day.
