analei Mist - Kauai, Hawaii====哈纳雷雾-考爱岛，夏威夷

The mist and cloud set the mood on this memorable morning. Clear skies would have been nice to walk under, but the mood would have been gone and the light would have been harsh. Hanalei Bay is a 3-mile long perfect crescent of sand surrounded by the world’s rainiest mountains. Over 500 inches of rain drench nearby Mt. Waialeale every year and about 100 inches fall on this beach. 5 of the 7 famous waterfalls can be seen here.

Despite all that rain, days are mostly clear so it still took me several return trips to this beach in order to be here at the right time. Up to seven waterfalls are often seen in the mountains after a good rain shower. The atmosphere created some nice warm filtered light, which turned the sand into gold for a few seconds in between waves. The sun is rising to the left of the frame.




This was taken back in February 24, 2008, the last day that it rained a significantly measurable amount in San Francisco! The rainy season should start soon we hope. It is now October 25th. (Update, it is Nov. 9 and it finally rained a few days ago!)

What is pretty is beautiful in a delicate or graceful way.

So many beauties in this appealing world

The true beauty lies in the beholder's eyes

There is beauty in the child's innocence and in mother's love

There is beauty in a friend's affection and in a tender heart

There is beauty in a pretty smile and caring eyes

There is beauty in the morning sun and a rainy day

There is beauty in the flaky slow and a pleasant spring

There is beauty in the milky moon and the graceful rivers

There is beauty in a hard earned victory and a hopeful soul

There is beauty in me and beauty in you

So many beauties in this spectacular world and its dazzling life

And the true beauty lies in the beholder's eyes

This was taken this evening at MGM Studios in Disney World before we went to go see the big fireworks show. I have a few images of that too, of course, but not processed yet. I still have a big backlog of other unique travel stuff to get through when I get some time!

This is Hamilton Pool, one of the best kept secrets in Austin. The preserve’s pool and grotto were formed when the dome of an underground river collapsed thousands of years ago. There is a ring of 45-foot waterfalls all around the rim. Flow was light this day, but you can still see a few streams of water coming down.

Hawksbill Crag is one of the most photographed rocks in Arkansas. It used
to be a very quiet place, but now if you want to get the rock all for yourself
on a weekend, you will have to be there early, like this foggy morning.
