Sharon Mau
Hui, how are you :)
Anthony Mancuso replied
I’m very well Sharon, just recovering from an afternoon working in the garden doing things that I have put off for far too long ; ) I’m finding pains in muscles that I never knew existed ; ) How are you? Hope you are all well ; )
Sharon Mau
That sounds good. I know what you mean, when I work in the garden I remind myself I should do it more often. I worked for hours in the hot sun several days ago and am still recovering from it :) A nice warm bath works wonders. I am doing well thank you Anthony.
Jacob and I enjoyed a beautiful sunset on Pa’ako evening before last. The colours were sensational. There were four weddings taking place on the beach and it was a very special evening. We drove to Lahaina this morning to pick up a canoe, and then had lunch in Kahului before returning to our home upcountry. I am going to Ho’okipa in the morning for sunrise, hoping to get some nice shots. I am also hoping the Hawaiian Monk Seal will return. I have been looking for her.
It has been very warm the past week, an oppressive unbelievable heat on the island with little trade winds and the only relief is to drive to higher elevations and wander in the forest or go to the ocean. So right now it is almost midnight and I am enjoying the cool breeze from my window and a wonderful cup of coffee as I am exploring the sight and enjoying everyone’s beautiful images.
Anthony Mancuso
Oh that sounds wonderful. We are down at aur holiday house by the sea on the Mornington Peninsula where we’ve been clearing up getting ready for summer and the fire season. WE’ve had a little bit of rain lately which has been wonderful and things are very green around this area but it dries up very quickly so best to get prepared early just in case. The sunset was beautiful tonight but I didn’t have the energy to lift my camera!
You have beautiful rain forests onMaui which would be a delight to escape to. I remember them well. I also remember going to Lahaina and spent a wonderful day there with that beautiful big tree in the centre of town. I cant remember the name of it but here we call them fig trees.
Enjoy the cool breeze and the restof your night. ; )
