This Week's Colors

6am light at property corner

One of the most magical aspects of  living in Hawaii during the winter months is the unusually low sun angle. Here at 19.5 degrees latitude, in Pahoa on the Big Island, the winter solstice light is rare, like waves of particles in a spectral dance.The sun rises low with a golden glow at the back corner of our property. Although you can't see it in the photo, a bright pink ribbon circles that center tree marking our property line.

With less words and more pictures this entry, just enjoy the vibrant colors we enjoy every day.

These are a few our regular geckos 

Violet blue flowers frame by Ti plants, Monarch butterfly laying eggs on the Crown Flower plant, scenes from the island's edge -- tidepools* at MacKenzie Park, roots* of Ironwood tree, and a favorite winter fruit -- Rambutan.

Remember, you can "click" on any of the small photographs to have a bigger/better view.
