ZOWIE IT'S MAUI!

Priceless!



Turtle in the Sky

Hagoth Arrives..

The last time Kar and I ventured to Maui was almost 34 years ago on our Honeymoon. We have been to the islands many times since, but somehow we always missed the Valley Isle. I used a medical seminar as an excuse to spend another week on the beach at Ka'anapali at the fabled Hyatt Regency. Needless to say, we had an awesome time! Enjoy a few pics from the adventure........

Many decades ago in Mrs. Swenson's 9th grade English class, we were assigned to read Nordoff and Hall's "Mutiny on the Bounty", a fictional account based on the true story that transpired on the British naval ship in the South Pacific in 1789. I have been in love with the Isles of the Sea ever since. Having had the opportunity to serve two years as a missionary in the islands Tonga, only deepened my affections. It was in Tonga that I found my passion for photography. Ever since, I have been searching for that perfect sunset. Many glorious vistas have touched my lens, but the search goes on....................................
